Real life weddings- Mr & Mrs Urie

Michael and Becky had a beautiful new years wedding and Becky has supplied us with some great tips!
Becky's florist took a "simple" cake and transformed it into something spectacular! A tip from the florist check that the flowers have not been sprayed with pesticides so it does not poison your guests! 


Becky's flowers a shower of white roses and calla lillies- the white rose representing eternity (LOVE that there was a meaning behind the flowers!)



The favours were yummy lindt chocolates wrapped in fabric!

The church Becky and Mike got married in did not have a hall big enough for their reception so they hired out a hotel but as Becky said "having the reception at a hotel was cheaper than we thought it would be and takes out the stress/cost of caterers, silverware and glass hire etc and the table settings, menu cards, seating plan etc was all taken care of by them, so does make it worth the money." 
The beautiful bride

Becky's top tip for a winter wedding - "all winter wedding brides need to have someone on hand with a big thick coat for in between pictures outside!!"

Put some limes in your...

So flowers.... how to make them "different". I mean flowers, vase thats about it right? WRONG! How about vase filler, If you have tall centerpieces the vase is pretty much the only bit that is seen when the guests sit down to eat, so why not make it a talking point? (or something that just looks extra pretty!)For mine and the mr's wedding we went with limes- why limes? well to be honest it was the only green fruit I thought would look good all sliced up in the vase, my brother and sister- in - law went for whole lemons. But there are TONNES of ideas out there for lining the vases heres a few of my favourites I have found.....
Sweets make a "yummy" treat


Crystals/Marbles


Cranberries add a festive touch

Paper and ribbon wrapped around the outside


Pretty sand layers



I have NO idea what is in this vase but I think it looks pretty cool!


Or even just dying the water adds a bit of a different touch to the table
The centerpieces from our wedding ( Yes I love them so had to show them off!)
