The catering was simple and informal - tapas brought out to the tables in rustic bowls for sharing and later on, we had artisanal pizzas, plus some decadent brownies and doughnuts from Crosstown Doughnuts! The speeches were all great, spaced out during the day, and each with their own energy and vibe. They all made people laugh and get slightly emotional at points too!

Ullman Ltd, https://arullmann.com | Wedding co-ordinator, Foil Events, www.foil-events.co.uk For us, the best things about weddings are having a big party, celebrating with friends and family. Getting so many of our favourite people together in the same room was such a highlight. It was a proper reunion and an epic party. The table plan, table names and signage were designed by my colleague Georgie Cobbs, with a decorative floral theme and lettering. We both felt super relaxed all day, albeit excited and nervous at the start, as expected. We had so much fun all day. The cocktail bar by Crimson Mobile Bars went down a treat later on. We served espresso martinis, bee’s knees and margaritas. It felt relaxed, perfectly on-point, and was another hit with guests! Our band was incredible. We had the sax player during the drinks reception and the whole band joined for the evening, soundtracking our first dance to You’ve Got The Love, by Florence + The Machine, which is one of our favourite tracks. Our place names were on cute wine glass charms, with fun, cartoony versions of each person’s likeness (hair, eye colour, glasses etc) that our guests really loved and kept. 31 REAL WEDDINGS
