Your Devon and Cornwall Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 21)

Our bridesmaids and flowergirl complemented these suits, and our colour theme, by wearing full-length navy dresses. They all looked so elegant. Alasdair wore his Cameron tartan kilt and his groomsmen wore a mix of their own family kilts or Cameron tartan ties teamed with a navy suit if they weren’t of Scottish decent. Our cake was a three-tiered design with each layer being a different flavour. These included coconut and passion fruit, white chocolate and raspberry, and carrot and mango. It was decorated with pastel-coloured meringues. We were lucky enough to travel to our reception in a beautiful silver classic car. It was an Alvis model that was a wedding present from my parents. We wanted as many things at our wedding to be locally grown so chose beautiful, bright blooms from the region. We collected different gin bottles to display flowers in as our centrepieces on each table, and our favours were packets of British wildflower seeds. REAL WEDDINGS 43 
