I threw a white rugby ball (rather than my bouquet) to make sure that James had a few rugby elements included in our special day! Our table names were blue geometric numbers displayed in black stands resting on top of blue chiffon table puddles. Our place names were blue with white writing that we attached to the personalised menus. James plays rugby so I surprised him with a cake topper of a bride tackling a rugby ball! On our first holiday in Crete, James picked out this cake topper expressing that he wanted it at our wedding (before we were even boyfriend and girlfriend!) We had timeless white flowers mixed with greenery and tied with blue ribbons for the bridesmaids’ posies and the groomsmen’s buttonholes. Our three-tier cake had a hexagonal-shaped bottom tier and two circular tiers. They were all white with a pale blue marble effect. The delicious flavours included lemon meringue; coconut and lime and also chocolate and clementine and the tiers were decorated with our initials as cake charms. It was important to us to have beautiful tall centrepieces that ensured our guests could see each across the tables because it meant that our deaf guests could easily communicate. They included classic white flowers and greenery displayed in tall black geometric stands. REAL WEDDINGS 35
