Your London Wedding - Page number 31 - September/October 2021 (Issue 79)

All the confetti we used was lovingly grown and dried rose petals from my mum’s garden.We also purchased some chalkboards and a friend of ours came on the morning of the wedding to design and write them for us ‒ he has an incredible talent for free-hand writing! The bunting we used in Grace’s Alley was actually backstroke flags ‒ a nod to Nick’s competitive swimming days! Our wedding favors were a white fan (it was incredibly hot on our wedding day!) and a pack of mint Polos ‒ something I always has on me and am renowned for! It’s also a nod to my late grandmother who always did the same. All our guests were also able to take home the flower arrangements and plants at the end of the night. We love getting updates from family and friends about how they are doing! I was keen on having protea in my bouquet and Jamie created the most beautiful arrangement, I was blown away. Wilton’s has always been a really special place to us. We first came across it during a London open house weekend. We’ve been to see some great performances and comedy there and just fell in love with the feel and style of the place. It was the first place we thought of when thinking of where to get married. Boulevard Events specially made Welsh cakes and Bara brith – a nod to myWelsh roots. All our flowers, plants, bouquets and buttonholes were arranged by our friend, Jamie, founder of (ohhdeer.com ). He went above and beyond and created the most stunning arrangements. Around the venue we had a mixture of ‘cottage garden’ style flowers, herbs and even vegetable plants. Our cake was three tiers of chocolate, lemon drizzle and Victoria sponge, our favourite cakes it didn’t disappoint on the day! REAL WEDDINGS 31
