Your Sussex Wedding - April/May 2022 (Issue 96)

“My bouquet, the bridesmaids bouquets, corsages, buttonholes and ceremony flowers all tied in with our neutral and greenery theme.” Enchanted Events and Prop Hire to bring together their ideas for the centrepieces. The top table was decorated with a beautiful, tall rectangular gold stand with white and champagne flowers and eucalyptus. Using the same flowers, the other tables had circular gold stands. Plus, further small details were added to the tables to tie together the theme including gold tea light holders, a vase with matching flowers, the table name and a gin bottle filled with lights. The super-cute wedding favours were mini envelopes containing wildflower seeds. The table plan was made from photo frames of varying sizes painted gold, while the place names were made from brown card and stood in mini wooden stands in keeping with the netural theme. The table names, each one a different gin, were made from the same materials as the invitations and placed in gold stands. Other décor included a welcome sign, order of the day, and a flower arch for the ceremony lawn. DRESSED TO IMPRESS Charlee tells us, “After trying a few fitted dresses, I eventually chose an A-line gown from designer Nicole Milano. I had off-the-shoulder sleeves added, which I think completed it. I then accessorised with a beautiful dried flower crown. “Sam wore a cream dogtooth three-piece suit with gold accessories, including a gold paisley bow tie. The best man wore the same while the groomsmen chose their own suits to complement the ties Sam gave them. So, we had quite a few colours including navy, grey and brown. “The bridesmaids also chose their own dresses from all different places. I asked them to find neutral-coloured full-length gowns, which all ended up looking perfectly harmonious.” “We opted for a threetiered cake with different flavours decorated with flowers – it tasted unbelievable. Our wedding breakfast was a starter of pâté, followed by beef wellington for main course and chocolate delice to finish.” REAL WEDDINGS 35
