For both sit down meals we put questions on the tables to get guests talking… tell us how you know the bride/groom, then for cheese they were more cheese based, such as tell the table a cheesey joke. They really elevated the atmosphere at the tables. For the afternoon tea, guests were seated at about 5pm, golden hour. Tables were winding through the hedges with the centrepieces moved from the wedding breakfast. It was magical. I’d designed the stationery. My favourite was the hotel door hanger, that the venue popped on guest doors before the party was over. A little finishing touch, with a thank you from us both and a note to join us for breakfast in the morning. The venue recommended our florist. They gave me ideas and just ran with it. They were so easy to work with. We stepped foot in Barnett Hill and said yes on the spot. We could just picture everything there, and we loved the support the team would bring. We had two table plans; one for the main meal – two courses by the wonderful chef at Barnett Hill, and one for the cheese afternoon tea. Both meals were spectacular. We created stickers for the confetti pots and candles and placenames with ‘Mr and Mrs Onions’ that matched our theme to tie everything together. I said I wanted neutral colours for the bouquets and our florist excelled. We had a cheese explainer menu which explained the cheeses and why we personally love them. It was just nice to express to the guests that we chose Bath Soft cheese as long-time fans. 33 REAL WEDDINGS
