Our centrepieces had a wooden and brass rustic feel to lend them a more modern edge. We didn’t want too much height on the round tables so that our guests could all talk feely. Our three-tier cake was a buttercream Victoria sponge. We went with something to suit our rustic vibe, with added gold leaf and flowers. Alongside it we set up a double photo of both our parents cutting their wedding cakes. Combined with a gorgeous backdrop it added an extra special touch. Putting a table plan together is harder than it looks. In fact, this was probably the hardest part of wedding planning! Willow and Fig did an incredible job of creating the table plan board as well as the table names, all in keeping with the rustic vibe we were going for. As Sami is a DJ and we both have eclectic tastes in music so our tables were named after our favourite genres. Sami plays house music, so she got her own way and the top table was named after it! We had fairylights behind the top table, which added a touch of magic and sparkle to our perfect day. We also had a ‘Til Death Do Us Party’ sign, which provided a great photo opportunity for guests once the party started. As my family is Italian we opted for a taste of Italy. Our starter was a trio of fish in the style of fish and chips, an homage to Brighton – where we met and where Sami is from. It’s those little details that really meant a lot to us. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
