Our wedding favours - sewing the seeds of love!

For our placenames, Ryan and I collected pebbles from the local beaches around us in South Wales; Penarth, Llantwit Major, Lavernock Point.
I painted everyone's names with white ink and we sprayed them with a varnish. I think they turned out lovely and contributed to the rustic vibes!

Flip flops to keep that boogie going all night long.

Sweet peas from Mrs Carter and Gayle. Fittingly with the sweetie table!
For all of our flowers at the reception, everyone pulled together to grow as many purple flowers as possible, and ivy to dress the room. They were all displayed in jam jars we had collected and displayed on log discs donated by Uncle Matt.
I love the connection it gave to all those who have known, loved and supported us as a couple.

Our wedding postbox was lovingly personalised by my new pa-in-law, Nigel. A special touch.

I made Mum a photobook and gave it to her the night before my wedding. It documented the process we shared when she made my beautiful and special wedding dress. She brought it along to the day and showed it off to all her pals!
