The Modern Table catered for the day. “Liz and her team were incredible, especially given how hot it was,” says Nic. Guests enjoyed canapés, followed by a rustic, family-style Italian wedding breakfast with sharing platters, and flatbreads in the evening. The cake, created by Bakes with Joy, was a vintagestyle two-tier design in sage green and orange, with flavours of chocolate and sea salt caramel, and pistachio and raspberry. Nic wore the Quartz dress by Lucy Can’t Dance, with custom additions including an embellished belt and cuffs, paired with the Florence veil dipdyed lilac. “I was instantly smitten,” she recalls. “I’d thought I wanted a full sequin dress, but they felt too heavy. The Quartz dress was the perfect balance – sparkly but lightweight, with a beautiful low back. When I tried it on, my mum burst into tears, which sealed the deal.” Tom wore a bespoke navy threepiece suit by Trotter & Deane, finished with a sage green polka dot tie. After the speeches, folk musician Nick Hart led a ceilidh that filled the dancefloor and set the tone for the evening. This was followed by the first dance, cake cutting and a lively disco, with Nic and Tom even taking to the decks themselves. “One of my favourite touches was the confetti cannons on the dancefloor,” Nic adds. With many guests staying on-site, the celebrations stretched into a joyful weekend, ending with bacon sandwiches and coffee together on Sunday morning. “There were so many unforgettable moments,” says Nic. “Walking through the woods with my dad and seeing Tom waiting for me in the sunshine is a feeling I’ll treasure forever. We loved the quiet moments we stole together too, just letting it all sink in. The whole day made us feel incredibly lucky to be surrounded by such wonderful people.” 36
