Your Sussex Wedding - August/September 2023 (Issue 104)

As our wedding favours we had lemon-flavoured shortbread biscuits with white icing and a black Z & N for decoration. All of our catering was provided by Roots Catering. It was all unbelievably yummy, and everyone still talks about the food to this day! We had pie and mash, which used to be one of our date-night favourites when we’d head to the local pub. The centrepieces were black trees with perspex discs holding images from Tim Burton films and VHS tapes with a film still on the front and purple LEDs inside. We laid out a game of hammerschlagen to keep guests occupied while we did the boring photo bit. Nick made a ‘Til Death light for the occasion, while further decorative highlights included a moon gate with curtain and flowers, and various Jack and Sally pumpkin lights placed along the aisle, around the venue and on the dancefloor. Unfortunately, I’m highly allergic to flowers, so we used faux blooms. Myself and my bridesmaids had bouquets made by Maddison Rocks Instead of a traditional wedding cake we opted for vegan doughnuts. REAL WEDDINGS 39
