Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - July/August 2024 (Issue 105)

My photographer and videographer were amazing; they were like extra guests, not suppliers! All our speeches were funny, emotional and beautiful. We rented eight hours of mini golf, which the kids loved, and a photo booth to entertain guests. It was a great laugh when we got copies of the photos! We had a two-tiered cake with red velvet and carrot flavours covered in frosting and edible pearls. We had a gold hoop backdrop with an ivory fabric draped curtain, lights and a handmade floral corner wreath for some venue décor.
