Inspiration Behind The Styling
Our aim was to have a fun and relaxed day surrounded by friends and family. The style of the wedding was guided by the natural beauty of RMW recommended venue, Middleton Lodge. We wanted to keep it simple and natural, with lots of candle light and open fires to create a cosy, wintery atmosphere. Brass and natural wood featured heavily, and we had lovely wooden tables and chairs with simple table decoration in the form of foliage runners, tea lights and candlesticks. Jane at Wedding and Events Floral Design - one of RMW's handpicked suppliers - provided lots of greenery, foliage and white flowers and did an amazing job in bringing our vision to life (as well as adjusting things to fit our budget).
Advice For Brides-to-be
Try to get your main suppliers booked in early on so that you can relax knowing the key things are sorted and take your time over the smaller details. I have fond memories of Sunday afternoons spent together making playlists, putting together our invitations and making name tags for our place settings. Also accept help from friends and family. My mum made and painted signs directing people to the venue and the box for cards, which helped us stay within budget. Finally, try not to worry about what other people think. Yes, you will have to take certain people’s opinions into account, but it’s important that your day is a reflection of the two of you and it’s okay to be a bit selfish about it.
