Your East Midlands Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 32)

We had an old-fashioned photo booth from that our guests absolutely loved. When I arrived at the venue I was a bundle of nervous excitement but I calmed down as soon as we were standing together for the vows. I’ve never smiled and laughed so much – it was the happiest day of my life. For the ceremony and reception we had a pianist and in the evening a band played and DJ’d for us in-between. We had a real indie disco vibe for the live music. We always had our hearts set on a cake of cheese and it went down a treat in the evening!

We collected vintage postcards and used bulldog clips and a mesh planter panel sprayed gold to display them. For our favours we gave the men a bottle of Modelo lager with a key bottle opener on the name tag – our drink of choice in California and Lindt chocolates for the ladies. Anna’s top tip: Don’t worry about things going wrong. Everyone’s there to celebrate with you and nobody’s bothered if a candle’s in the wrong place. 46
