OUR TOP TIP! Try to make every moment part of your day, as it all goes so quick. Don’t just see the ceremony as the starting time, as half the day is gone by then. Also, something personal feels much more memorable and meaningful than something that’s traditional or not really about you. The evening food was a converted vintage fire truck serving pizza which was lush! The van was even driven across the grounds of Bowcliffe to get it in position. Again, another supplier who would do anything to make it work!

Our friend Kirsty doing the ceremony was so personal and touching and our niece, Immy, doing a speech and a reading was very memorable. When nervous or excited or – anything – Tom has a lot of energy and so our photographer repeatedly had to tell him to stand still so she could get photos of him, otherwise he would’ve been in very few photos from the preparation stages of the day! We loved seeing all of our guests mixing and chatting to each other with everyone smiling and enjoying themselves and no one left out. 26
