An Essex Wedding - July/August 2025 (Issue 123)

We also hired sleepover teepees from SleepyInMyTeepee to allow for a calm space in the ceremony room in the evening for the children attending. It was a total hit and the set up was beautiful. Once we were legally married and signed the paperwork, we exited the ceremony room to The 1975’s I’m In Love With You. We chose a three-tier, semi-naked cake with flowers surrounding. Our florist was wonderful and knew exactly the vision we had! I mentioned the idea of autumnal flowers and pampas grass and she sent over a proposal that was exactly how we imagined. Everything had been planned out to military precision (maybe too planned out, whoops!) and there really was nothing left to do other than enjoy the build up. Our centrepieces were rustic log planters, provided by Simply Rustic, with an autumnal wreath wrapped around. All in muted colours: sage green, pale orange and white with small pumpkins. I was getting married to the man I love surrounded by those closest to me so if anything happened, then so be it! 35 REAL WEDDINGS
