I found an ornate mirror and painted it white to create the table plan. I then printed off the guest list for each table to stick to it, topped with diamantés to accent it. It stood on an easel supplied by the venue. My dad owns a white Bentley V8S Continental, which he bought along for the day. We used it for some photos and a short drive, just the two of us, after the ceremony. Our bouquets too were themed in white and green and featured roses and peonies, which are my favourite flowers. The groom’s party wore white rose buttonholes with foliage, and we chose the same as corsages for our grandmothers. We also had flower garlands on the top table with a flower arch behind the two of us. We wanted traditional white-wedding style blooms for our classy summer nuptials. The Cheshire Dining Experience were great, and the food was amazing. During our drinks reception we had canapés of arancini, satay chicken skewers and duck pancakes – some of our favourite foods. We wanted our wedding breakfast to be light and summery. For starter we had leek and potato soup, followed by a main course of chicken ballotine wrapped in Parma ham, and finished with white chocolate cheesecake for dessert. Escapade Bars provided all the drinks and we chose a personalised cocktail called a Mr and Mrs Martini, which was our favourite, along with a lychee Martini and Pimms for the garden drinks reception. 29 REAL WEDDINGS
