Your Kent Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 110)

After the ceremony and during the reception we had a saxophonist playing outside. He was fab and it was lovely to have some light music in the background as loved ones mingled. We hired some lovely sofas to stage the dancefloor room and provide décor as well as a place to sit in comfort. However, later into the evening, they became beds for some of my overly intoxicated bridesmaids! Guests’ names were printed onto their own individual menu card made from plantable paper. They could then use these to grow wildflowers when they got home. We named the tables after our favourite trees to reflect our proposal location and our love of nature. Continuing our autumn and rustic themes, we had a beautiful semi-naked vegan carrot cake made. It was dressed in figs, berries and rosemary sprigs. We didn’t have any centrepieces on the tables, but rather small jars filled with gorgeous autumnal flowers, which we dotted around the venue. We also had large floral and hop hoops suspended from the centre of the tipi, which made an incredible statement. We had long trestle tables, which brought a great flow and vibe to the tipi. Everyone felt included. 47 REAL WEDDINGS
