First off, lets talk flowers, Katy had heard from a friend who got married last year, that they picked all their flowers from a local nursery and arranged them all by themsleves, so of course you might remember that I went on a bridal bouquet and buttonhole course earlier this year, well that was all in preparation for the big day! The Friday before the wedding, Katy, Mum and I headed down to Blooming Greens to pick all our wild flowers, it costs £50 per bucket and they advised we would need 3 buckets to allow for one bridal bouquet and 10 table arrangements, it was such a lovely thing to do and I loved the fact the flowers were all seasonal we did it all by ourselves ....
Katy & Martin decided they wanted fresh strawberries and cream for dessert, but also opted for these gorgeous assortment of different flavours of meringue kisses, made by the exremely talented Meringue Girls, check out their website, they recently made meringues for the opening of the new Picadilly Cath Kidston store....
Next up, the favours, I saw these bride and groom pegs on pinterest ages ago, and fell in love, so did Katy, we wanted to incorporate them into the wedding somehow, Katy decided to use them to fasten the pic n mix favours bag and attach their wedding compilation CD to the bag, cute or what?? Martin also had a stamp made to match their invites.... and a very lovely talented guy who i met through work, Andrew, very kindly made the crate out of salvaged crate, hopefully Katy & Martin can use it as a herb garden.....
Last up, thought you might like to see a few snaps of the venue and the very happy couple.... (Martins Dad, Mick made the Mr & Mrs sign, very clever man!!) and my Mum and Nan Violet made all the pretty bunting.... what an amazing day, epic wedding never to be forgotten....
