small white pumpkins and painted the stalks black.” Tia’s brother is a graphic designer and created name cards, which included everyone’s meal choices, and an A3-size table plan which the team at the venue presented on an easel. “My friend from school owns a personalised cookie-making company,” Tia tells us. “She made us some personalised white pumpkin-shaped cookies featuring our name and wedding date to match our décor and everyone loved them!” The couple’s florist did an amazing job bringing their pink Halloween theme to life. “I still have my bouquet now and even after the flowers have dried out, they look beautiful,” Tia tells us. “We opted for a quirky white wedding cake which had two square-shaped tiers placed over one round one. It was iced with a dramatic black dripping rose and the top layer was Nathan’s favourite flavour, carrot cake, and the bottom tier was my favourite, red-velvet cake.” LOOKING THE PART Tia found the dress of her dreams in Prudence Gowns bridal boutique located in Exeter. “My mum and nan visited with me after trying on plenty of dresses at other places,” Tia explains. “I chose a chiffon and floral lace style with subtle sparkle by the designer Stella York. It made me feel feminine, but not too girly, and I didn’t want to take it off!” Nathan and his groomsman wore burgundy three-piece skinny-fit suits. “They both looked so handsome and felt comfortable, even after eating a three-course meal!” Tia tells us. “Our beautiful bridesmaid wore an ivory dress and kept telling me all night how pretty she felt in it.” TIME TO ENTERTAIN Tia’s mum surprised the couple with a homemade photo booth featuring a rose gold-coloured backdrop, fun props and a polaroid camera. “Some of the photographs were put into our guest book alongside messages from our loved ones which was an entertaining read the following evening,” Tia tells us. “The staff at the venue were so welcoming and the food was delicious!We’re planning to head back for our wedding anniversary.” - Tia and Nathan MICRO WEDDING SPECIAL 29
