\"Fresh<\/p>\n

This wonderful wedding day has so many elements that I adore. Let me share all…<\/p>\n

Thomas and Ana tied the knot on the 7th May 2016 in a church ceremony followed by a reception at Manor Mews<\/a> in Norfolk. The countryside barn setting was just magical and their simple touches really made the space their own. The rustic touches included metal jugs filled with flowers, hessian, wooden details and a nod to Thomas’ love of super heros. I especially love the pastel toned lace cake and floral bunting paper goods, they looked lovely.<\/p>\n

Ana wore a lace gown accessorised with pearls, while Thomas donned a check suit. Didn’t they look fab? I adore the bow ties on the gents and the gypsophila and roses used throughout, it all worked so well.<\/p>\n

Thanks goes to Charlotte Leys Photography<\/a> for sharing these darling images.<\/p>\n

THE PROPOSAL | Tom proposed to me in March 2015 in Rome looking over the colosseum, it was absolutely magical and I had no idea it was coming!<\/p>\n

THE VISION | It was everything that we had hoped for and more! We could not have wished for a more perfect day.<\/p>\n

THE PLANNING PROCESS | We had just over a year to plan our perfect wedding. In my head I already had a picture of what my perfect day would be and I can honestly say our wedding day was exactly as I pictured. Tom and I planned most of the wedding ourselves and just did things bit by bit. One of the first things was church and venue. Once we had those booked it started to feel very real! Everything after that just fell into place. At summer fayres we found our bunting and most other things found us rather than I specifically looking for them.<\/p>\n

THE VENUE | We got married at St Mary Snettisham church and had the reception at Manor Mews Tatterset. The church was absolutely stunning and so was the reception venue, I think we made the perfect choice!<\/p>\n

THE DRESS & ACCESSORIES | I went to a few bridal fares and tried on a variety of dresses and found ‘the one’. Tom of course did not see it before the wedding day but said as soon has he saw me in it, it was a splitting image of what he imagined it would be like. I wore a small pearl necklace, pearl bracelet, and pearl earrings (I love pearls).<\/p>\n

GROOM\u2019S ATTIRE | Tom wore a grey Ted baker suit with a vintage style flowery bow tie and pocket square. All of the groomsmen had matching bow ties and pocket squares which looked very smart.<\/p>\n

THE READINGS & MUSIC | We chose together some lovely readings from the bible and also chose our hymns based on what they mean. We chose ‘one more step along the world I go’. We loved this as we felt it was appropriate for our next step in life together.<\/p>\n

Our first dance was Angels by The XX. This song was one we both really liked from years ago and seemed the right one to have as our first dance.<\/p>\n

BEAUTIFUL BRIDESMAIDS | I had 2 bridesmaids, Livvi and Nikkita. They both wore long pink dresses with flower details at the top and looked beautiful.<\/p>\n

THE FLOWERS | All flowers were gyp and light pink roses. The groomsmen and groom had a gyp lapel and bridesmaids and bride a gyp and rose bouquet. The table flowers were also gyp and roses in a vintage style jug.<\/p>\n

THE CAKE | Our cake was 3 tier, 1 chocolate sponge, 1 salted caramel and 1 strawberry. Each tier was a different colour, pink, yellow and green with flowers on. We wanted our cake to be different to the standard wedding cake so decided to have a more colourful one that fitted in with our vintage pastel type theme.<\/p>\n

YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER | Charlotte Leys Photography. She was absolutely fantastic and made us feel so comfortable throughout the day, we are so grateful to have had her as part of our very special day.<\/p>\n

THE DETAILS & D\u00c9COR | We had floral bunting and fairy lights across the ceiling of the barn which looked really pretty. I made some of the d\u00e9cor, such as table confetti, and favours. I loved having handmade bits & bobs at it made it feel a little more personal and unique. We had floral straws in the water glasses which gave the tables an extra bit of colour and quirkiness!<\/p>\n

Tom was feeling a bit overwhelmed by girlyness so I surprised him with some marvel cupcakes and also the table names were superhero’s, At first I was not overly sure about this but they went down well and gave Tom slightly manly part of a rather overall girly wedding!<\/p>\n

THE HONEYMOON | We went to Gran Canaria on our honeymoon on 9th May 2016. It was absolutely beautiful and was so nice to spend quality time together relaxing and reminiscing our beautiful day!<\/p>\n

MEMORABLE MOMENTS | The weather was definitely memorable. At the beginning of May we were slightly anxious about what the weather was going to be like however the entire weekend was clear blue skies with full sun, it was absolutely perfect. The drive to the church in the VW camper van with my dad was very memorable, my dad was singing away to the radio! Of course walking down the aisle and seeing Tom turn round and look at me was one of those moments where your heart feels all ‘lovey’.<\/p>\n

Vows, speeches, first dance\u2026 It was all memorable!<\/p>\n

ADVICE FOR OTHER COUPLES | Enjoy every moment and don\u2019t let the planning become stressful. At times it can become a little stressful but keep reminding yourself that it is all going towards the happiest day of your life and will all be worth it. On your wedding day take a moment aside with your new husband\/wife and just take it all in for a moment as the whole day goes by so fast.<\/p>\n

I can honestly say I was not one bit nervous the entire day, just extremely excited and happy! When you are marrying the one you love there is no need to be nervous.<\/p>\n
