For our centrepieces, we purchased jars with chalkboard lids and wrote the table numbers on them. We used fake ivy and fairy lights to put in the jars to give them a warm and natural feel. We finished the look with mini gold jars with roses, log slices and gems. The cake was kindly made by Matt’s mum and had a Victoria sponge, chocolate and lemon drizzle layer. The cake was put on a log slice to match the table centrepieces. We purchased a personalised topper from Mudcards on Etsy that resembled us in our wedding attire. It also featured our cat, Luna, for an extra personal touch. Our flowers were mainly white with lots of greenery to match the natural theme. We had a table topper for the wedding ceremony where the register was signed; this was reused at the wedding breakfast on the top table and at the wedding reception by the guest book. With the wedding venue having the natural, rustic feel we were looking for, we didn’t need to add much additional decoration. We placed photos of us when we were younger on the guest book table and pictures of us throughout our relationship in a large photo frame. We made our table plan by printing names on tanned paper, adding mini craft pegs and some string, and displaying it in a white frame on an easel. Isaacs on the Quay was the ideal venue for us and had the intimate, rustic feel that we were looking for with beautiful views of the marina. It was close to lots of hotels, so our guests could stay the night if they wanted, and it was accessible by car or train. There was also accommodation that could be hired at the back of the venue, which we stayed in the night before and after the wedding. Donna and the venue team were extremely helpful throughout the wedding planning process, which took away so much of the hassle and kept us calm. 48
