Your West Midlands Wedding - August/September (Issue 81)

We wanted a property that was local, and we particularly liked that Warwick House was exclusive use which meant we were the only people at the venue on our day. It had plenty of space for us to comfortably fit all of our guests, and it also had the added bonus of a honeymoon suite and additional rooms for our friends and family to stay over too. Our table plan was made by Pure Invitation Limited. We chose a laser cut background and had blush card mounted on top to tie in with our colour scheme. We then placed the card on a mirror, which was provided by Warwick House. Mel from Your Big Day Events was full of fantastic ideas. I really wanted roses in my bouquet, so we decided to make it the main feature in all of our flowers We had a faux flower arch which framed the ceremony and we also used it behind our sweetheart top table, which made a lovely backdrop for our photos. We had personalised candles made as favours for our wedding. We wanted to keep it simple but also create a lovely keepsake for our guests to take away and remember our big day. We hired the centrepieces from Warwick House, and we really liked the simplicity of the hurricane vases. We used them to line the aisle during the ceremony and later moved them onto the tables for the wedding breakfast. We placed sand in the base with pillar candles to add elegance to the aisle, and for the tables, we had a wreath of flowers matching my bouquet put around the base. Dan and I chose a three-tier heart-shaped cake from Daves Demon Cakes. It was decorated with ivory icing, ribbon and roses. We had the two bottom tiers as jam sponges and had decided after hearing many stories of the bride and groom missing out on the cake that we would like to keep the top tier for ourselves and our family. 28
