Our cake tasted delicious and we loved that the designer was able to incorporate real flower petals into the decoration. She also provided tasty gluten-free cupcakes for a few of our guests with dietary requirements. Matt, his brother, James who was his best man and their dad, Richard all wore the same dark blue three-piece suits with green silk ties. The male bridal party accessorised their suits with custom-made cufflinks featuring the coordinates of Harefield Barn. Matt also wore a Seiko watch which I gifted him as an engagement present. We named our tables after berries which are Matt’s favourite food. I drew pictures of them to create our table plan, table name cards and centrepieces. I wanted plenty of flowers so my dad contributed lots of floral ideas as well as growing some of the table flowers for us which turned out perfectly! We kept the décor of the day simple with a focus on the flowers and small DIY touches such as the table names which I made by hand. My sister, Zoe and her partner Maisie made the wooden heart-shaped place names using a wood-burning tool. We tied them around the condiment bottles that we gifted as favours! Pippa, my godmother did a reading during the ceremony based on a questionnaire that she gave us leading up to the wedding. It was heartfelt, personal and the perfect moment to look out at our friends and family and take in the ceremony. My sisters, Izzy and Zoe were my bridesmaids and we knew from the start that they didn’t want to wear the same thing. Zoe wanted to wear a suit which Izzy’s green floral dress ended up complementing perfectly. I loved that they looked like a pair whilst celebrating their individuality. 33 REAL WEDDINGS
