Your East Midlands Wedding - Apr/May (Issue 31)

I’d recommend our photographer, Helen King, over and over. There’s so much colour and romance in her photos and she loves capturing flowers, which was a big thing for me! We had a huge cheese tower instead of a traditional cake. It tasted amazing and we were eating it for a while afterwards! My sister compiled a playlist of our favourite songs for the evening party. Our DJ was great, she really listened to what we wanted. My aunty, mum and I made cakes for the evening so we could have a bit of everything! The DIY gin bar was particularly popular. Guests could play a game of boules, mix their own cocktail or just grab a blanket and sit in the sunshine!
