Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - December 2022 /January 2023 (Issue 92)

We had some lovely personal touches on the day, such as the bunting made by Tom’s mum to hang across the aisle with our names and wedding date sewn onto it. There were lots of floral displays around the venue featuring dahlias and roses in burgundy and blush, complemented by plenty of fresh greenery and other blooms, which matched my bridal bouquet perfectly. We had a selection of canapés served during the drinks reception, followed by a delicious three-course meal, finishing up with a favourite of sticky toffee pudding. Later on in the evening we had a paella and chocolate fountain to keep everyone going on the dancefloor. A harpist played contemporary songs during the ceremony and drinks reception, including All Of Me by John Legend as I walked down the aisle, which created the perfect romantic ambience. Tom wore a Moss Bros slim fit navy black check three-piece suit. This was paired with a burgundy woollen tie and monk-strap brown shoes. All the groomsmen had the same outfit and the groom also wore special cufflinks that I’d had given him as a present on the morning of the wedding. Tom designed all of the stationery such as our table plan and order of the day, which were displayed on large easels with real flowers arranged around them. He also designed the menus and table names, which matched our invitations and save the date cards. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
