An Essex Wedding - July/August 2022 (Issue 105)

The flavours of our wedding cake were me and Debs to a tee – chocolate with chocolate buttercream for Debs, and vanilla with white chocolate buttercream for me! We decided against a table plan as we wanted the reception to have a party vibe, with guests sitting wherever they felt comfortable. We knew straight away who we wanted as our photographer and were so pleased Clare was available. It was surreal wandering around Castle Park, having strangers congratulate us as we had our photos taken. Our wedding was so soon after the lockdowns that our guests loved being out and catching up with each other. We were all so busy chatting that the day flew by! We opted to feed everyone canapés and a hot and cold buffet. We had messages for days afterwards asking for our caterer’s details! Make sure you eat before you get married! I skipped breakfast and lunch as I was too stressed to think about food, and it made me feel unwell after the ceremony. 33 REAL WEDDINGS
