Your North East Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 57)

Neither of us are cake lovers, and we know friends who gave out cake weeks after their wedding. We instead decided on a selection of chocolate brownies, which went down a treat. To go with our bohemian theme, I wanted dried flowers which included pampas grass. The bouquets also featured subtle sprays of rose gold, just because I love the colour! We wanted our wedding to be laidback; and Barn on the Bay totally fitted that brief. We also loved how close the venue was to the beach – one guest even went for a dip on the day! The wedding arch featured one of my own macramé pieces, which I do as a hobby in my spare time. It’s now available to hire via our florist, so I’m excited to see it at other weddings! The bouquets were used as centre pieces for the tables, with Barn on the Bay also discussing with us the type of colours and textures we wanted for the tables. We made the table plan ourselves. We took ideas off Pinterest, did a bit of shopping for collage photo frames on eBay, and printed the table plans off. 26
