The weather was kind to their outdoor wedding plans and the setting looked just magical. &#8220;<em>Nordic forest fairytale with a humanist woodland ceremony and part modern country style with a good dash of Downton Abbey<\/em>&#8221; was the vision and what a plan it was.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This lovely pair and their nearest and dearest crafted their hearts out creating a personal day and they even won a contest on WWW with Candelabra Wedding Stationery to win their gorgeous stationery. Wild flowers, a cake bake off and stylish attire all featured heavily.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Samm chose a strapless lace gown with fairy-like flower crown, Jon donned a tweed jacket and chinos combo, while the maids wore long neutral dresses.

proposed on a holiday inter-railing around Italy that I planned as a surprise for his birthday. So needless to say, little did I expect he had a surprise of his own up his sleeve! He asked me in romantic Venice, on top of a cute bridge over one of the many canals. He popped down on one knee for the briefest of moments and a nearby family, who we hadn\u2019t even noticed stood nearby, burst into applause. I was so taken aback with surprise that it felt like 10 minutes passed before I could speak! I said yes, we kissed and then ducked into a nearby bar for some prosecco. We didn\u2019t tell anyone else until the end of our holiday and it was a glorious few days revelling in our little secret.<\/p>\n<p>THE VISION | We started with a blank canvas and decided we wanted it to be an informal (formality gives me the heebie jeebies), fun and full of our personalities. Jon had a view on the big things like the location (close to home so it was easy for folks to get there), the venue (not in a field!) and the food (plenty of it!). Other than that he let me run wild with my imagination. I loved creating a mood board and quickly came up with the ingredients for our day. I described the vision as \u2018part Nordic forest fairytale with a humanist woodland ceremony and part modern country style with a good dash of Downton Abbey, but with a budget and vibe more suited to the servants than the Grantham\u2019s. Imagine the staff being home alone for the weekend without fear of being caught, with relaxed family style dining around long wooden tables, homemade desserts and kick your shoes off, beer swilling, dressing up and dancing in opulent surroundings.\u2019 In summary an eclectic, rustic, DIY wedding which was full of love.<\/p>\n<p>THE PLANNING PROCESS | We started with a discussion about what we envisaged for our wedding day, which began with a quiet elopement in a woodland setting and became increasingly about ensuring our family and friends could celebrate with us. We set a budget to work to, pulled together a loose guest list to get a sense of numbers and then set to work finding the venue. My inner organiser took over and I created a spreadsheet for the number crunching and a calendar for keeping track of key milestones. We also had a Dropbox folder for things that needed both of our input, such as invitation designs. I made sure DIY projects were planned in early to give us enough time. My mum was a big help with making some of the decorations.<\/p>\n<p>We also created a wedding website to keep folks updated on progress, plans and answer any FAQs, which was a great time saver and stopped us getting bombarded.<\/p>\n<p>BUDGET | It was a DIY wedding on a budget, with a view to saving money wherever we could, but without compromising on what we really wanted. We wanted it to be fun, our guests to be well fed and watered and there to be plenty of entertainment. We managed to pull it off for under \u00a310k, even with a few little extras such as the pony and trap. We\u2019ve since sold some of our DIY decorations too, which helped pay for printing some of our wedding photographs. Wherever we could we tried to save, from holding the wedding on a Friday, negotiating for discounts, using students from the local university for entertainment and serving our cake as dessert.<\/p>\n<p>THE VENUE | We live in an area of beautiful countryside and so we wanted an exclusive hire venue that could provide the nature inspired outdoor ceremony we craved. I stumbled across the intimate venue of Saltmarshe Hall online and fell in love with the romantic history but modern decoration of the house and most importantly the 17 acres of gardens it sat in, all overlooking the mighty River Humber, known locally as the chocolate river. We went for a visit and found the owner to be really relaxed about our ideas for personalising our day, with nothing being too much trouble or too out there. The spooky wine cellars and derelict stables also appealed to us and we could imagine getting some great photos down there.<\/p>\n<p>THE DRESS &amp; ACCESSORIES | I wore a whimsical, vintage inspired lace dress with a sweetheart neckline, which I bought from a local bridal outlet. The day I tried it on, complete with a puddle length veil, myself and my mum had big smiles on our faces and I suddenly felt like a bride. I ordered some \u2018Madden Girl\u2019 by Steve Madden shoes, as a nod to my maiden name which had \u2018Madden girl to my sole\u2019 written underneath them. I wanted a boho feel to my look and would never have been able to get married without having flowers in my hair which led me to purchasing a beautiful medieval flower crown which really completed the look. My garter was a boho thigh chain and my something blue was a sapphire bracelet of my mums. I made a bespoke Jo Malone fragrance to wear at the wedding.<\/p>\n<p>FINDING THE DRESS | I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted and changed my mind a million times about the style over the course of our planning, even after I had already bought my dress. I was adamant before I started I didn\u2019t want a fit and flare dress but it just goes to show you don\u2019t know what will suit you or what you\u2019ll fall in love with until you\u2019ve tried a few on. It was one of the things I found most stressful and part of me wishes I had tried a few more boutiques\/ dresses before I took the leap, just so I didn\u2019t spend 6 months worrying, but I really did feel amazing on the day and got a lot of compliments on the dress, so obviously my initial instincts must have been right.<\/p>\n<p>GROOM\u2019S ATTIRE | We wanted an informal country gentleman\u2019s club look for Jon and the groomsmen and so went for a mix and match suit with the blazers and waistcoats from Asos, ties and pocket squares ordered online and high street chinos and brogues. The photos of the groomsmen wearing their tweed with cigars and brandy in hand are some of our favourite shots.<\/p>\n<p>THE READINGS &amp; MUSIC | We had two ceremonies on the day as we didn\u2019t want a separate registry office ceremony, which meant we could have quite different music and feel to each of them but also created more work! For the legal ceremony, we kept it short and sweet and Holly Maher\u2019s Perfect Day played, along with a Thousand Years by Piano Men, Greenday Time of your life, and Jackie Wilson\u2019s Your Love Keeps Lifting Me Higher (and Higher).<\/p>\n<p>For our woodland ceremony, I imagined a Botecelli inspired scene with medieval flower maids surrounded by beautiful woodland and a harp strumming to Florence and the Machine\u2019s Cosmic Love. We found so many beautiful readings but none that felt very us and so my Maid of Honour read the lyrics to the Friends TV show theme tune \u2018I\u2019ll Be There for You\u2019. Silly but fun.<\/p>\n<p>BEAUTIFUL BRIDESMAIDS | I love all of my girlies, so choosing a small number of maids was always going to be tough, but there could have been no other choice to walk at my side than two of my oldest friends who have been through so much with me. We set to work looking online for a classy but boho inspired dress which would suit them both. I came across the LOVE dress on ASOS and with its kimono sleeves and muted colour, we all liked it. Winner! To preserve the girl\u2019s modesty and to differentiate them slightly we customised the front with grey and cream lace inserts, respectively, which set them off nicely. Finally to transform them into the perfect woodland flower maids they each had a foliage crown made for them. Another of my oldest friends played a special role in the day as our Mistress of Ceremonies and did a great job of organising everyone and keeping the party going.<\/p>\n<p>THE FLOWERS | We love nature and the great outdoors so bringing as much of the outdoors in was the brief we gave the lovely Jane of Blooming Yorkshire, who we liked so much we asked her to be our celebrant too! Jane grows all of the flowers in a Victorian walled garden which suited our ethos of local, seasonal and sustainable. I liked the botanical foliage look and the colour and texture of wildflowers, which Jane managed to interpret in the most stunning way. Most of the budget went on the reception room where we had our feast. I asked for long foliage centrepieces with trailing ivy at the ends to suit the long table arrangements and an abundance of wildflowers in a variety of jars we had collected over the year. The tables were each named after a flower that had a special meaning in the Victorian era, when people would give flowers as a symbolic gesture.<\/p>\n<p>We had a trailing ivy garland running down the staircase and hydrangea heads in a collection of demi johns we previously used to make our home made sloe gin favours. Jane also titivated the flower crowns we wore and made button holes and wrist corsages for the bridesmaids instead of bouquets. Jane also made the most stunning, magical cascading bouquet for me, which I wish I could have kept forever.<\/p>\n<p>We tried to keep costs low by doing as much decoration as we could ourselves and with our woodland ceremony, the beautiful outdoors did the hard work for us. Inside we made a statement love centrepiece at the entrance made out of succulents and old wood pallets placed on a shabby chic ladder. I also raided the outside of my friend\u2019s house for ivy and placed it anywhere and everywhere to create a green feel.<\/p>\n<p>THE CAKE | When I was considering the budget, I thought the cake wasn\u2019t something we were prepared to pay a lot of money for, as for us cake is for eating, not looking at. However, Pinterest did almost sway me with some absolutely stunning creations. We wanted to use our cake as a dessert to save on catering costs, as so often it goes to waste anyway, which swayed us to get a 3 tier naked cake decorated in moist berries, which a family friend provided at cost for us. The piece de resistance was our cake topper, hand knitted by another friend, in the form of our pets, the tortoise and the hare (well, house rabbit).<\/p>\n<p>I also arranged to have a wedding bake off, with guests bringing their lovely home made creations to form a wedding dessert table which our friends outdid themselves on, with yummy cupcakes, lemon drizzle and even a gluten free offering. I invited them to come up with a name for their creation and provided some cake flags. The \u2018Got Squashed in the Car\u2019 cake won the day!<\/p>\n<p>YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER | I set to work early looking at photographers work I liked and we both agreed that this, along with the venue, would be one of our main indulgences, as ultimately the only reminder left of the day are the photos. I spotted the work of Hannah on a blog where she\u2019d done a film and photo fusion for another wedding which moved me to tears. I knew that if her fusion of someone else\u2019s wedding could leave me with that feeling it would be so much more special if it was ours. I must have watched our fusion 50 times (okay, probably more like 100!) and still get choked up when I see it. Hannah was great fun to work with and instantly put these two camera shy folks at ease. She even indulged our suggestion to go visit the haunted cellars of Saltmarshe Hall and got stuck into the East Yorkshire staple of Patty Butties. Our kind of gal!<\/p>\n<p>THE DETAILS &amp; D\u00c9COR | It was a true DIY wedding and we undertook a lot of projects to put our individual stamp on the day. We designed our own logo which we included on the save the dates, invitations, \u2018the feast\u2019 menus, orders of service and a who\u2019s who telling funny stories about each of the bridal party. We also set out our vision for the design of the invitations, complete with bluebell wood illustration and little packets of wildflower seeds, which the amazing Candelabra Designs helped us create and print as part of a competition we won on WWW.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-172363\" src=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2016\/06\/P1050176.jpg\" alt=\"Ethereal Forest Eclectic Fairytale Wedding Stationery Invitations\" width=\"750\" height=\"972\" srcset=\"https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2016\/06\/P1050176.jpg 750w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2016\/06\/P1050176-150x194.jpg 150w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2016\/06\/P1050176-300x389.jpg 300w, https:\/\/whimsical-cdn.wedissimo.com\/2016\/06\/P1050176-720x933.jpg 720w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Where possible we wanted to engage all of the senses, so we placed vintage swiss cow bells on chairs and asked people to ring them when we kissed and placed lavender filled hanging jars on the chair ends to leave a lovely lingering scent. People were very generous and gave us hundreds of jam jars and wine bottles which we decorated, spray painted and distressed with candle wax, to dot about the place with flowers and candles.<\/p>\n<p>We created a DIY photobooth out of a tepee, which my hubby made from scratch, as a backdrop for people to pose inside with props. As the night went on the dressing up got crazier and we got some great photos.<\/p>\n<p>As the night wore on and the girl\u2019s dancing feet became sore, I set out a basket of granny slippers and invited them to slip a pair on and get down with their bad selves. There were some comedy moments with a pair of \u2018special\u2019 winkle pickers with bobbles on the end that I found in a charity shop! We also put out some glow sticks for when the lights went down and the serious dancing moves came out.<\/p>\n<p>We made distressed signs to direct people to the bar, woodland and lawn games area in the kitchen garden and made home made blackboard signs dotted around the venue to invite people to help themselves at our tuck shop, which we filled with 80\u2019s classic crisps and other pub snacks, and at our signature \u2018tie the knot\u2019 cocktail and cigar bar.<\/p>\n<p>Outside we created woodland d\u00e9cor to complement the beautiful nature surrounding us. We made a boho ribbon curtain as a backdrop and placed cut logs holding candles in a semi-circle where we said our vows.<\/p>\n<p>Around this we placed hay bales for our guests to sit on which made the handfasting feel very intimate and inclusive. We wrote our own promises for our personal humanist ceremony and each wrote a secret letter to Jane, our celebrant, recalling how we met and our first impressions, which Jane turned into an emotional heart-warming handfasting. Festoon lights and hanging lanterns gave the woodland a magical fairytale feel.<\/p>\n<p>We made confetti cones full of dried lavender and set up our take on a wishing well by providing a crate full of flower petals and pebbles for our guests to throw into the river with a blessing. We also made a swing with our initials carved into it and set it up overlooking the river as a tribute to family and friends that couldn\u2019t be with us.<\/p>\n<p>I love horses and really wanted to have them as part of the day so I arranged a pony and trap, which would have been a cob horse with a rustic apple cart, but they let me down the night before (cue panic!) and Trotting Taxis thankfully stepped in at last minute with Jimbob, their miniature pony. He was adorable and tiny, and we all wanted to take him home.<\/p>\n<p>My talented friend created a large personalised colouring sheet for our adult colouring station, which was a nice way for our guests to create something lasting for us that we could display in our house. This worked well alongside our wishing antlers, where people hung messages of love and support written in bright colourful crayons!<\/p>\n<p>We also personalised our food as we wanted it to be a very family style affair, so we had a yummy anti-pasti sharing platters for the starter and a \u2018bake off\u2019 dessert table for pudding, which both helped to break the ice between our guests. For the evening munchies we had a chippy van serving the East Yorkshire delicacy of patty butties, which people loved.<\/p>\n<p>THE HONEYMOON | Our lovely guests gave us honeymoney which helped us create lasting memories in South Africa and Mauritius. We had an incredible time on safari seeing the Big 5 and although the weather was a bit iffy, we had amazing adventures rallying around in our jeep and getting stuck in the mud, which meant we had to get out and walk through the African bush! It also meant we were able to get cosy next to our log burning stove, while fairy lights created a magical atmosphere and the lovely staff even put hot water bottles in our bed at night. We then flew to Cape Town, enjoying amazing food and cocktails, sightseeing and great white shark cage diving, followed by flying to Mauritius for 9 days to have some sun and beach time. We had the most amazing few weeks \u2013 going back to work was a shock to the system, I can tell you!<\/p>\n<p>MEMORABLE MOMENTS | Standing with my lovely, proud mum waiting outside the room at our legal ceremony and feeling the mixture of nerves, giddiness and relief that the moment had finally arrived after months of planning. I walked in with my head down afraid to meet anyone\u2019s eye in case the tears started and then looking up to see Jon with a big grin on his face and just in that moment knowing it was all going to be okay.<\/p>\n<p>Marauding around the grounds in heels with my dress hitched up, with Hannah, our lovely photographer, and Jon, with champagne and cigar in hand, scaling ditches and walls to get the best shots.<\/p>\n<p>We arranged for an acoustic guitarist to play in the gardens during the early evening and I remember kicking my shoes off and Jon and I racing from one side of the house to the other to get there in time to hear \u2018Friday I\u2019m in Love\u2019 by The Cure, which we\u2019d requested. It ended up being an impromptu first dance and was such a happy moment.<\/p>\n<p>I sang our proper first dance song &#8211; Norah Jones, Turn Me On &#8211; which I had recorded on to a CD as a surprise gift for my hubster but the chap who produced it convinced me to use it for the actual dance and despite my initial shyness, it was a really special moment between Jon and I.<\/p>\n<p>ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES | Having a wedding now is the best of times but also the worst because we have the opportunity to make them whatever we want them to be but we\u2019re also inundated with so many magazine worthy images, which creates pressure for perfection. It\u2019s hard not to get caught up in the details when it\u2019s your own wedding but my advice would be to pick a few things and just do them really well. And really, just don\u2019t sweat the small stuff because no one really notices that much. The only thing that lasts beyond the day, except the photos, are the lovely, overwhelming feelings that choke you up when you least expect it and transport you back to that glow you felt on that amazing day. It truly is the most incredible experience \u2013 and this is coming from someone who just didn\u2019t get the fuss of weddings until I did it.<\/p>\n<p>Enjoy every delicious second as it does go in the blink of an eye but also plan something nice to look forward to after the wedding\/ honeymoon hysteria is over as you will probably feel flat for a while.<\/p>\n<p>My other advice is to:<\/p>\n<p>Involve your guests in whatever ways you can \u2013 people love to say they\u2019ve had a hand in creating your special day and it turns it into a real community affair \u2013it also helps take the pressure off you and also saves you money.<\/p>\n<p>Always try to negotiate for discounts but within reason as many suppliers are one man bands. Offer things in kind, such as your own skills or PR, in return.<\/p>\n<p>Look on websites like Sell My Wedding or Gumtree for preloved decorations or upcycle things from your home.<\/p>\n<p>Use college\/ university students to source entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>Get creatively crafty and make what you can but there genuinely are some things that are cheaper to buy than make, so choose your projects carefully.<\/p>\n<p>Plan a 10% contingency budget for hidden costs (there will be some).<\/p>\n<p>Finally, make sure to enter competitions on blogs. I know we all think we\u2019ll never win but we did and it saved us money on our dream invitations.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019d like to read more about our wedding and DIY projects, head on over to my blog at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theinspirationhighway.blogspot.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.theinspirationhighway.blogspot.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE | We loved working with each of our suppliers and got on well with each of them.
