Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - December/January 2023/2024 (Issue 98)

Our table plan was laid out on a rustic white wooden ladder, finished off with dusky pink flowers and fairylights. Each table’s card was hung from a string by white heart pegs. We bought artificial flowers and created our own bouquets using a mixture of dusky pink roses and gypsophila for me, and white roses and gypsophila for the bridesmaids. The stems were wrapped with hessian ribbon. We made a display for the top table from a log we found in the woods. We sanded it down, painted our married name on it, and wrapped it in fairylights. For our centrepieces, we decided to go with a log-slice base with a glass jar on top decorated with hessian ribbon and containing fairylights. We also laid out little heart-shaped memory cards for guests to write good wishes and memories on. We decided to make our own three-tier wedding cake, which sat on a homemade log cake stand. The bottom tier was Victoria sponge, the middle tier was Biscoff flavour, and the top tier was caramel chocolate. It was all covered in white fondant and finished with a single hessian ribbon. We also made our own kids table sign, welcome sign and photo booth sign. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
