Inspiration & Styling
The real word of the day was family, we wanted to focus on our slightly untraditional but immensely happy little family unit. The children play key roles in the day, our little sausage Herbie (the miniature Daschund) was with us for the whole day and the vows were focused on the commitments we were making as a family. I think this was also heavily influenced the styling. We tried to create a sort of home from home by bringing elements of our family home along with us. The neon sign which we used to decorate the alter lives on the wall in our 'snug' room at home and was fitted to an a-frame made from leftover floor tiles from our bathroom. The altar itself was made out of a copper pipe and now stands as the entrance to our garden. The bottles, pots, crates and candles used to decorate the venue came from our home and are now filled with the dried flowers and grasses for the ceremony.
