While we had a DJ for the night, we also had a crazy golf set-up that was a massive hit with guests. People loved it, though Nik’s parents and sisters were incredibly competitive with it. We had a bouncy castle for the children too.

Nik saw the idea of “When we were…” on Instagram for table names, and I loved it too. We had fun looking through old photos to display. Libby from Hiya Petal was an absolute dream. I wanted bright and vibrant flowers, full of love, and she nailed that. I was completely calm all morning, but when Libby brought in the flowers, I began to feel emotional. She is a true artist and so talented! Kirsty, one of my bridesmaids, gave a speech, and it touched my heart! Nik’s sister Katie created our wedding cake and cupcakes. We kept it nice and simple with Victoria sponge to match the afternoon tea theme for the catering. The groom comments, “I was nervous right up to the start, and then the day went by in a flash – it’s a cliché for a reason! The best man’s speech went down fantastically; it was the right mix of comedy and heartfelt gestures. Plus, it made my mom cry, so that helped too.” REAL WEDDINGS 27
