large arrangements filled with hydrangeas, roses and snowberry flowers. I wanted them to look natural and they worked so beautifully. I loved the floral archway that Sarah made for outside the church doorway. We used it twice, with our ushers moving it up the road to the village hall for us so it could be enjoyed at our marquee reception.” Inside the marquee were four large floral hoops made with larch, twisted hazel and willow. “We grew hundreds of stems of amaranthus and hung them from the hoops which filled the space well,” Charlotte tells us. The couple had plenty of other handmade details created by their loved ones. For their table plan, Charlotte purchased an old door at a farm sale which she painted and Craig made a stand for it. “My bridesmaid, Jacalyn created our wonderful watercolour invites that she painted and I added the wording to,” Charlotte explains. “Craig’s mum, Caroline made our two-tier fruit cake which tasted delicious and it all got eaten on the day!” LOOKING THE PART Charlotte’s dress was an elegant, simple design which she teamed with a pair of earrings, a gold watch and her antique gold rings. Craig and the groomsmen wore linen suits while the couple’s bridesmaids looked stunning in their full-length navy dresses. TIME TO CELEBRATE “We hired the Basher Tate wedding band to entertain our guests all evening which was a real treat!” Charlotte tells us. “The caterers did an amazing job, we had a three-course sit-down meal which was delicious.” - Charlotte and Craig 28
