After the ceremony we both went into the barn alone and had a glass of champagne to toast the fact that we’d just got married. It was amazing to see how the barn had come to life and to steal a quiet moment together. I made the table plan using a hoop with mini pegs attached along with everyone’s names for each table. We also got some Polaroid prints to go alongside our table numbers. My favourite drink is Diet Coke and Kieron loves spiced rum so we got miniature ones as wedding favours and tied labels to them saying ‘Katie’s choice,’ and ‘Kieron’s choice.’ I used old Hendricks gin bottles as centrepieces and filled them with bunny tails and eucalyptus with a faux flower wreath surrounding them. We had a two-course wedding breakfast plus canapés after the ceremony. We opted for prawn, smoked salmon and avocado for starter; and pulled beef, mini roast potatoes and veg for main (with veggie pie vegetarian option). During the evening reception,we had pulled pork baps with apple sauce and all the trimmings. I made the bridesmaids’ bouquets myself but our florist made mine using fresh flowers. I wanted timeless white roses and green foliage. REAL WEDDINGS 39
