Inspiration Behind The Styling
We wanted our day to be a fun and relaxed Summer day, including Pimms and games and some great food. We wanted our flowers to be large and wild, and to contain in-season foliage and flowers. We wanted a non-traditional semi-naked cake adorned with flowers that tied in with our flowers. We loved that our venue was in a quiet countryside location, allowing us to get some shots in some fields, and with outdoor space for our guests to enjoy as we love spending time outside exploring the countryside and going on long walks. We wanted it all to be personal to us and our stationery was a big part of that- Katie painted illustrations of Lancaster University where we met for our save the date, where we currently live for our invite and Godrevy lighthouse where we got engaged for our RSVP. The on the day stationery was all centred around the beautiful Clock Barn.
Wedding Suppliers
We had some great fun planning our wedding- mulling over cake flavours and designing the desserts for our dessert station, we learnt a lot of new skills DIYing wooden signs, calligraphy on our invitation envelopes, designing our stationery, making over 100 jars of jam + marmalade and designing my engagement and wedding rings. But it was our suppliers that really made our day. Our cake looked absolutely stunning and tasted even better- Harriot who made it was sure there would be a lot leftover (which we were keen on because I wanted my friends to take leftovers into my work as I'm always baking for work and wanted to share our wedding cake too) but it was all almost gone! Nobody could resist it. Katie created some beautiful paintings for our stationery that we can keep always. The flowers were a real star of the show and our florist Lisa really went above and beyond in the run-up to the wedding to try and make all our flower dreams come true, and had some excellent advice for us, even on non-flower related aspects like our seating chart. Evie and her assistant Kat were fantastic on the day, dispelling nerves and putting us all at ease, as well as making us look so great- I was so grateful to have them there- it was just like having an extra couple of friends in the room! And of course Carrie- the photos speak for themselves. She worked so hard on such a hot day, directing unruly groomsmen and bridesmaids into wonderful photos effortlessly and snapping so many fantastic shots of our day that we will treasure forever.
