We wanted a church ceremony that reflected modern-day thinking particularly with regards to gender equality – so we chose readings that best captured this and spoke about love in real terms. This included a passage from Alain de Botton’s book ‘The Course of Love’.

The Ceremony & Music

We chose hymns that spoke of nature, including ‘For the Beauty of the Earth’ and ‘All Creatures of Our God and King’. The rest of the music included some of our favourite timeless tunes including ‘Lean on Me’, ‘Time after Time’, ‘Stand by Me’, ‘For Once in My Life’.

We wanted to work with a photographer who could capture the relaxed nature of the day – rather it feeling pompous and staged. Noemi and Pal from Thyme Lane Photography appealed to us as they prioritise relaxed, informal and natural shots.

We wanted to re-use and upcycle as much as we could for décor – for example jam jars, glass bottles etc, which we decorated with recycled sari ribbon from TangledArtbyMoniqe. The display stand for table plan was made from an old wooden pallet and the frame for the photo-booth background was made from upcycled materials by Pitt Farm Carpentry. We ordered paper decorations from Etsy store Decopompoms.

We hired the giant garden games (Jenga, Connect-4 and Kerplunk) from Belles and Beaus. The floral arrangements by Myrtle and Thyme included lots of seasonal flowers and foliage (including dahlias, grasses, bramble berries, Amaranthus). The cake also had a natural theme as it was iced to look like a birch tree! It was styled on top of wood slices.

Get all the ‘big things’ (e.g. venue and catering) booked in nice and early and then you only need to worry about the details closer to the time. Try and enjoy the process even if it feels incredibly stressful at the time!
