I chose daisies to reflect my name and all of the other flower varieties were cream, white and pale yellow mixed with soft green foliage including eucalyptus.” The couple wanted round tables with no formal top table, instead deciding to sit with their groomsmen and bridesmaids instead of family. “Our seating chart featured our wedding bees with the table number in the centre of the petal arch and gold lettering at the top of the sign,” Daisy explains. “We also had a table plan presented on a gold stand with gold lettering in the same font as the illustration of the wedding bees. For the favours, we gifted guests a small pot of honey and small love spoons individually carved with a daisy and daffodil, plus our names and the date of our wedding.” Daisy and Rhys also had other decorative details to style their special day. “We loved our feather wall and also the sweetie table that had a yellow ribbon tied around the sweet scoops and boxes in the shape of bee hives,” they explain. The couple’s cake was a four-tier design covered in white fondant icing and decorated with a gold leaf design. “On top was an iced daisy and daffodil flower,” Daisy says. LOOKING THE PART “I chose two dresses,” Daisy tells us. “The first was a gown by Enzoani which was classic with a detachable skirt that featured a dramatic long train. I wore the skirt during the church ceremony and then removed it for the wedding breakfast and our first dance. This revealed the fitted train of the dress which had beautiful button detail going down it.” Daisy’s second dress was a lace, strapless style with beaded detail. “It had a glamorous 1920s look to it with a small train meaning it was much easier to dance in!” The bridesmaids wore pale lemon-coloured dresses. “They were wrap maxi dresses with a side split, chiffon overlay and one-shoulder design,” Daisy says. Rhys wore a three-piece stone-coloured tweed suit with a floral waistcoat. “Our fathers and the groomsmen all wore similar three-piece suits in a slightly different shade and didn’t have the patterning on the back of the waistcoat,” Daisy says. “They all wore pale lemon-coloured ties and had buttonholes with daisies and daffodils in them. We hired brown shoes for everyone which finished off the look perfectly.” TIME TO CELEBRATE The couple had a vintage tripod camera as their photo guest book which their guests loved. “Everybody had a great time during the evening dancing the night away,” they tell us. “We couldn’t stop smiling and both felt excited throughout the day. We felt so loved not just by each other but also by all of our guests and everyone involved throughout the wedding.” 28
