Our talented florist, Flora Special Occasions, created all of our pretty floral arrangements and bouquets. She produced vision boards for us first, which reflected our summery theme.” The couple’s delicious wedding cake was made by one of their bridesmaids and covered in pressed flowers to match their blooms. LOOKING THE PART Sam chose a dress designed by Maggie Sottero from the boutique Sophie Grace Bridal. “I knew that I wanted something with lace and flowers to tie in with our wedding theme,” she tells us. “The team in the boutique selected the dress for me to try.” Ben wore a dark blue suit with a floral tie and pocket square to reflect the theme. “Our groomsmen wore similar outfits to Ben with brighter floral ties while our bridesmaids wore mauve-coloured gowns which is my favourite colour and matched the flowers well,” Sam tells us. “They all got to choose their dress style so they would feel comfortable on the day.” TIME TO CELEBRATE Sam and Ben booked a guitarist to play during their ceremony. “One of our bridesmaids sang for us which was special,” Sam says. They also had a live band perform during their reception. “This was excellent – many of our guests were up dancing on each other’s shoulders including my father!” Sam tells us. “Having our best friends do readings added a personal touch.” - Sam and Ben “The speeches by our best man and maidof-honour were special.” - Sam and Ben
