Your South Wales Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 92)

Our favours were Welsh cakes made locally by Truly Scrumptious Bakes. To fit in with our Disney theme, they were in the shape of Mickey Mouse’s head in see-through bags with ‘Be Our Guest’ tags tied with string. To continue our theme, we had Disney-inspired centrepieces that were designed and made by Truly Madly Deeply. Catherine is a creative friend who kindly supplied us with everything we needed to make our tables look gorgeous. Our family friend, Elen, made our wedding cake. It included vanilla, chocolate and raspberry sponges with subtle Disney decorations and a Mickey and Minnie personalised topper. Every part of Rhosygilwen was beautiful, and I could imagine how our photos would turn out in my head. The reality was even better, with the large daisy walkway, John’s very well-kept gardens and, of course, the mansion itself. The main attraction was knowing we’d be able to decorate the Oak Hall however we wanted and hire a caterer of our choosing – it was a very personalised experience! We created our table plan using a mirror; it included the names of the tables decorated with a floral border. All of the text was written in Disney fonts, which was supplied by a small business I found on Etsy called Nicky Noodles Doodles. Although not local, Nicky was excellent to deal with and supplied most of our stationery. Expressions Florists provided our wedding flowers. Julie was amazing from start to finish, and the blooms were everything I had imagined and more! 38
