All of our suppliers went above and beyond for us, we felt very lucky to have picked these companies and the people who made our day special. Tracey from Colshaw Hall ensured everything ran smoothly for the day, and was great fun. Sandra and Steve, our photographers, felt like part of the family and were an absolute pleasure to be around. Just breathe! Make sure your maid-of-honour or bridesmaids know what your plans for the day are, so if any questions arise, they can deal with them and you can enjoy the day in bliss.

My bridesmaids all wore long burnt orange dresses, which suited every skin tone. They looked just how I dreamed. We set out garden games like space hoppers and tug of war, which all went down a treat with guests of all ages. We even had a tug of war contest between me and my bridesmaids and Sami and her bridal crew... we won of course! We had DJs perform in the evening, including Sami. Although I told her she couldn’t do it for long as I wanted to dance with her. 36
