We decided to hire Reesey’s ice cream van (yes, I know ice cream in February...we must be mad!) for after the ceremony. They provided a great service and even came with dog-friendly ice cream. We had a live band called Under the Covers who performed a variety of songs and they were a big hit with guests – dancing to the music all the way to the end! It felt really magical. We made confetti pops using dried flowers and our photographer directed our guests to form a line each side of the courtyard to pop the confetti over us. I wanted sunflowers for my bouquet and hair, as well as for the dog collars and buttonholes. Hunstanton florists provided us with beautiful sunflowers, even when they were out of season! We decided we didn’t want a traditional three-tier cake, so we found someone who could make us a doughnut tower with a top cake. To represent us at the top, we had two deck chairs and a name topper; we also had clay figurines of our dogs, Millie licking the icing and Maisie trying to get to the top. We also provided cupcakes after the ceremony in our wedding colours of blue and white. These came in three glorious flavours from a local baker, Megs from Cakeaway, who we often get our sweet treats from. I created messages in bottles for the table names using sand, wine bottles, and tracing paper. The bridesmaids wore dusky blue, floor-length chiffon dresses. 35 REAL WEDDINGS
