A ‘theme’ was something I tried not to think about/let influence my decisions but I would say ‘simple vintage’.

They had chair covers custom made for the chairs at Glen Tanar they fitted perfect and they offered something totally different to the typical bow: a flower.

Pick n Mix sweet bags as the favours which everyone seemed to enjoy!

Our table names were all a story about either Dan or Myself and our guests had to guess who!

We made our own signs for the wedding!

What was your favourite part of the day?

My favourite part of the day was the service its self it was everything I had dreamed of and more! Dan and myself had written our own vows so I was very excited to hear his!

What would be your top tip for another bride to be?

Don’t under estimate how long the small final touches take they are so important as they bring the whole idea of your day together, chip away at them as and when you can!
