Your London Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 91)

We had a fantastic band called Party Up who played funk and soul music, as well as a half an hour medley of garage classics. It was really good fun ‒ the dancefloor was full all night! Seb and I had snippets of the day to ourselves, which were lovely! We had some time at the town hall after everyone had gone, then outside in the courtyard while our guests were seated and then again a little later, we slipped out for a walk along the streets for a few minutes. Those moments were great because they gave us time to spend the day together. We had a pink, silver and gold shimmer curtain in the second studio with a pink neon light with our wedding date in the middle, it worked as a photo backdrop for some Instax cameras. The venue also has a mega glitter ball in the second studio, which is great. I most enjoyed the speeches! It’s perhaps quite self-indulgent having people talk about you at great length, but I enjoyed reliving memories, and there was so much humour in each speech. We had long banquet-style tables for our wedding breakfast with small vases filled with individual flowers in sunset colours for the centrepieces. Cutter & Squidge created our three-tiered cake, each with a simple pink dash design on a white base.
