Pennard House

Our focus was on both our cultures coming together through the small details! This began with the initial invites through to the stationery on the day. We included the rose, shamrock and lotus to represent our cultures coming together. The wedding breakfast tables were named after the birthplace of our parents and grandparents, incorporating this playfully into an ‘around the world’ theme. We were so excited to celebrate our special day and also wanted to include our guests in our celebrations. We had no airs and graces, and encouraged everyone to get involved whenever they could!
Give yourself longer than the 8 months to plan we had! Make sure you sort the venue out first, as this frames the whole day. While it’s difficult after a day of work, we also recommend pulling together a spreadsheet containing a budget and plan for the day ASAP. Brief some close ones to keep to plan, who can also incorporate suggestions. This allows you to emotionally digest and enjoy the day (which we certainly did and more than we expected!)
