Your London Wedding - May/Jun 2019 (Issue 65)

My sister designed a wedding logo for us, which we used on the invites, order of service, timeline, and bar menu. I’m a massive control freak so handing over the reins to Jack, the groomsmen and our on-the-day coordinator was difficult but they did an incredible job!

Our DJ was great, he read the room really well and everyone was on the dancefloor all night. Make it fun: Natasha’s top tips ❤ We made a wedding speech drinking game where each guest had to pick a word from an envelope and drink whenever it was mentioned. ❤ Our menus were spinning wheels, which you turned to reveal each course. ❤ I kept seeing pinatas on Instagram and Pinterest and loved the idea. We had blindfolds and golf clubs to whack it with and everyone thought it was hilarious. ❤ Jack works for Pizza Hut so we had pizzas delivered in the evening, served with raspberry ripple and dulce de leche gelato in little tubs from our caterer, which went down well. ❤ We hired cameras from You Do the Shoot and gave them to the groomsmen to film footage, which the company then edited into a five-minute and 30-second film which really captures the spirit of our day – everyone looks so happy and like they are having fun. 52
