Fun Willow Marsh Farm Loughborough Wedding

We wanted to really celebrate with lots of colour and fill the room with joy. Our garden at home has orange, pink and lilac flowers, so this felt like a good starting place when it came to choosing a 'theme'! Being the start of spring, we had a decent choice of colourful flowers. Our ceremony was in front of a gorgeous fireplace which we dressed with flowers, candles and disco balls. The Willow Marsh Farm Loughborough had a real Game of Thrones vibe. I made 1000 origami paper cranes to decorate the venue. There is a Japanese tradition where the maker gets a special wish and good luck for the marriage. And, I mean, they just look stunning! We included the wish in our service and all our guests made one too. It was so special.

If changing into a mini dress - have a plan! I had to tear myself away from the reception to change as I was enjoying myself too much. I didn't want to miss out on all the fun! So, I got changed while the guests got seated and it was such a rush. Really, I wish I'd tussled my hair and reapplied some lipstick and perfume, but all my getting-ready products were strewn around the bride's cottage. Luckily, Mark and Charlie were pros and we still got a few pictures in my new dress while there was still daylight.
