Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Jul/Aug 2019 (Issue 20)

Our bridesmaids looked stunning in their pink sequin maxi dresses. Our favours were bottles of Corona for the men and gin and tonic served on arrival to the girls with a gin glass as a keepsake printed with ‘love, laughter and gin’. We also gave scratch cards to everyone hoping they were lucky that day, just like we were, and little cards where they could write a message of advice to us both for our married life.” Ben wore a grey suit with a white shirt – he looked so handsome! We had a marble cake decorated with a touch of silver. It had a surprise leopard-print cake inside decorated with eucalyptus to match the bouquets, and it stood alongside 130 cupcakes. Our centerpieces were round slate place mats topped with candles, a vase holding the bridesmaids’ bouquets, scatter crystals and a perspex table number. We ensured that groups of friends were sat together – we had a total number of 112 guests. Our cutlery sat on heart-shaped slates. REAL WEDDINGS 41 
