What Made Our Day Unique

We planned the wedding rather fast due to my father being terminally ill. When his illness progressed faster than we'd hoped we had a ceremony in the hospice and our legal ceremony soon after. My dad still wanted me to have my dream wedding. It was like a wintery country fete with a sprinkling of showbiz, We had a drag queen and my bridesmaids perform.The wedding was in the picturesque Wentworth Village, every door is painted forest green and everything was walking distance from each other - it felt very intimate, like the village was ours for the day.

Advice For Planning Your Wedding

Wedding Fayres are great, but don't go to TOO many, especially if you're on a budget, the pressure to book everything ever is real. We catered the evening ourselves with cheese, chutney, crackers and cupcakes, it was super cheap. Car boots and markets can be treasure troves - I got all my table decorations, and my table runner hessian for about £30.00. If you’re making your own petal confetti, next time you buy flowers ask the florist for the offcuts from the floor - they’ll only be going in the bin!
