WWW readers Emma and Ashley are here today to totally brighten your day with their rustic summer nuptials, which were held on the 28th July 2018 at Cannon Hall<\/a> in South Yorkshire<\/a>. They plumped for a church ceremony followed by a tipi reception, which was decked out in festoon lights, lanterns and florals galore.<\/p>\n

There were so many fab elements, from Ruby the Morris Minor to the sunflower bridal bouquet<\/a> and the glitter station to name a few. Guests were treated to a vintage photo booth, live music and a fire pit complete with marshmallows to toast come evening. All in all it was a magical wonderland folks!<\/p>\n

The outfits were totally on trend, many of the details were DIY and the atmosphere buzzing with festival vibes. We are just so<\/em> grateful to be sharing these incredible images by Neil Jackson Photographic<\/a> with you all. What a feast for the eyes.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

What can I say, he couldn\u2019t have got it more perfect! We were in Jamaica at the time and I wasn\u2019t expecting a thing! Day 5 into our holiday and we went on a trip to climb a waterfall followed by a private bamboo river raft through the jungle with a rum punch in our hands. At the most beautiful moment, just as the sun shone through the trees on to the calm turquoise water, he pulled out a box containing a ring I\u2019d mentioned ages ago and asked if I\u2019d marry him.<\/p>\n

My initial reaction was to swear a bit, ask if he was being serious and start crying. Then I said YES! We kept it to ourselves for 48 hours and then told everyone back at home \u263a<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Boho \/ wedfest \/ fairytale wonderland.<\/p>\n

Church ceremony.<\/p>\n

Tipis to look like a magical corner of Glastonbury Festival with an informal, relaxed feel.<\/p>\n

Fresh flowers and candles everywhere.<\/p>\n

Loads of good food and drink and live music!<\/p>\n

Woodland.<\/p>\n

Slight Jamaican theme to remind us where we got engaged.<\/p>\n

The Planning Process<\/h3>\n

We (and by we, we mean Emma because it\u2019s not Ashley\u2019s thing\u2026) absolutely loved researching; organising and coordinating everything for the wedding however, the planning process can take over your life if you let it!<\/p>\n

We had a few bumps along the way which did test us but we\u2019re both mega laid back and chilled about pretty much everything so we just got our heads together and came up with a plan B! To see the whole thing come together on the day and every single person with a smile on their face made it worth all the late nights replying to supplier emails or tears cried because someone cancelled at the last minute.<\/p>\n

My tip would be to enjoy the planning process rather than stress over it because once it\u2019s all over, you\u2019ll wish you could do it all over again!<\/p>\n

\"Cannon \"Groom<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

We originally set a budget but didn\u2019t stick to it. We just saved our every last penny to get what we wanted BUT, if we couldn\u2019t afford it, we didn\u2019t have it!<\/p>\n

\"Cannon \"Dress<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

All Saints Church, Darton \u2013 Barnsley.<\/p>\n

Boutipi (tipi supplier).<\/p>\n

Cannon Hall \u2013 Barnsley.<\/p>\n

\"Cannon \"Cannon<\/p>\n

The Readings & Music<\/h3>\n

We kept it traditional in church so I walked down the aisle to The Bridal Chorus – \u2018here comes the bride\u2019 and we left to \u2018The Wedding March\u2019.<\/p>\n

During the signing of the register, we played Masterplan by Oasis.<\/p>\n

Reading was from the bible – \u2018Eccles 4:9-12 The Value of a Friend\u2019<\/p>\n

First Dance was Bob Marley \u2013 One Love<\/p>\n

We had a Caribbean Steel Band playing as we arrived at the tipis for our Jamaican themed welcome \u2013 CCC Steelband.<\/p>\n

Our evening band were \u2013 The Fallen who were absolutely amazing! We both wanted plenty of live music and silly dancing so picked a band that did a mixture of genres but nothing cheesy! It\u2019s not our thing to have any cha cha slides or YMCAs going on\u2026<\/p>\n

\"Sunflowers \"Confetti<\/p>\n

The Details & D\u00e9cor<\/h3>\n

The details and d\u00e9cor are what makes a tipi wedding different and magical. You have the complete freedom to create your very own whimsical wonderland!<\/p>\n

A lot of the d\u00e9cor in the tipis was through Boutipi and our florist Wickham and Taylor. We had a vision in our minds and built our dream through the extras and props catalogues of both these suppliers.<\/p>\n

The main features were:<\/p>\n

The lantern walkway up to the tipis \u2013 Boutipi<\/p>\n

Kung Tipi (included fire pit, blankets, furniture etc.) \u2013 Boutipi<\/p>\n

Woolly Mammoth hanging flowers \u2013 Wickham and Taylor<\/p>\n

Candles (and lots of them!) \u2013 Starchild Glastonbury<\/p>\n

All other d\u00e9cor and detail was DIY. We added to our collection over 18 months, buying bits along the way, which really helped us in the end. We had dream catchers, empty gin bottles and jars, a dressing screen with polaroid photos for our table plan, a glitter station, lots of fairy lights, bunting, ribbon hanging from trees, handmade wooden signs, blackboards and marshmallows for toasting on the fire pit!<\/p>\n

We also had multi-coloured, vintage deckchairs provided by \u2018Sophie Likes\u2019 \u2013 Harrogate.<\/p>\n

Vintage photobooth provided by Viva La Booth.<\/p>\n

Our car was a convertible Morris Minor called Ruby \u263a<\/p>\n

\"Cannon \"Milk \"Painted \"Tipi<\/p>\n

The Flowers<\/h3>\n

Our flowers were one of the most important things to us and our request was for everything to look wild and freshly picked from a meadow. We didn\u2019t want anything that looked neat, tidy and too arranged.<\/p>\n

The main flower we wanted incorporating was the sunflower. We had a single sunflower on every pew in the church, part of our bouquets and on the woolly mammoth\u2026<\/p>\n

The woolly mammoth was a huge hanging hoop that was created specifically for us by Boutipi and dressed to perfection by our florist. It was a real talking point and hung beautifully in the middle tipi making it an epic centre piece.<\/p>\n

We had milk churns, crates and jars full of flowers all over the venue, which made it completely magical. It was a hay fever sufferer\u2019s nightmare though so we did provide antihistamines that went down a treat with the guests!<\/p>\n

\"Toy \"Til<\/p>\n

The Cake<\/h3>\n

We only ever had one idea for the cake and that was a white chocolate drip cake with chocolate sponge, decorated with white chocolate skulls and blue roses for Sheffield Wednesday\u2026 the words \u2018Til Death Us Do Part\u2019 were written across the front of the cake. Again, a real talking point with the guests, not to mention DELICIOUS!<\/p>\n

Made by Ashley\u2019s sister, Vicki.<\/p>\n

\"Glitter \"Tipi \"Cannon<\/p>\n

Bridesmaids<\/h3>\n

Bridemaids \u2013 All dresses from ASOS<\/p>\n

Jewellery \u2013 Thomas Sabo<\/p>\n

MOB \u2013 Dress, shoes and accessories from Snooty Frox Harrogate<\/p>\n

MOB Hat \u2013 Ian Stuart<\/p>\n

\"Sunflower \"Bridesmaids \"Dress \"Bridesmaids<\/p>\n

Groomsmen<\/h3>\n

Dads and Best Men \u2013 all same as groom except no jacket worn.<\/p>\n

\"Groom \"Cannon \"Party \"Cannon \"Dress<\/p>\n

Your Photographer<\/h3>\n

Neil Jackson Photographic \u2013 his photos speak from themselves, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ll agree!<\/p>\n

We didn\u2019t want any staged photos or a photographer that didn\u2019t capture raw emotion well. We weren\u2019t having a videographer so it was important that our photos would tell a story of the day and document every moment and emotion.<\/p>\n

We spent agessss researching photographers but immediately fell in love with Neil, his style and his photos.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t put into words how thrilled we are with our photos. AMAZING!<\/p>\n

\"Cannon \"Candles<\/p>\n

The Honeymoon<\/h3>\n

We wanted to go somewhere we\u2019d never been before and experience culture but also relax and take a well-deserved break!<\/p>\n

Audley Travel arranged us the most amazing trip to Bali with 5 nights in the country’s cultural capital Ubud and then 9 nights at the other side of the country in a Spa Village.<\/p>\n

\"Candles \"Wooden \"Lantern \"Cannon<\/p>\n

Memorable Moments<\/h3>\n

Oh dear, there\u2019s so many but here are a few of our favourites:<\/p>\n

Seeing my Dad\u2019s face when I walked in with my dress on for the first time.<\/p>\n

Standing just outside the church door with my Dad just before we walked down the aisle and hearing the organ inside playing \u2018here comes the bride\u2019. I\u2019ve never felt so many emotions in one go but kept it together!<\/p>\n

Seeing Ashley crying as I walked down the aisle.<\/p>\n

Getting to the tipis as new Mr and Mrs and having a rum punch, some jerk chicken (tofu for Emma and the veggies) and listening to the steelband play \u2018you\u2019ve got a friend in me\u2019 from Toystory (our request)\u2026<\/p>\n

The downpour of rain and then dancing in it!<\/p>\n

Sitting back at the top table and just watching what we\u2019d organised and seeing everyone enjoying themselves.<\/p>\n

The surprise green smoke bombs \u2013 captured in the photos!<\/p>\n

Our first dance together to Bob Marley and the party that followed!<\/p>\n

\"Cannon \"Cannon \"Cannon \"Cannon \"Cannon \"Dress \"Cannon \"Cannon<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

Don\u2019t compare yourselves to others. This is your day and should be everything you want rather than what you think other people would want. You can drive yourselves mad trying to please everyone \u2013 it\u2019ll never happen!<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about the last minute drop outs, just make sure you have a guest reserve list but if you can\u2019t fill the space, it doesn\u2019t matter! It doesn\u2019t change how happy and in love you feel on the day.<\/p>\n

For anyone having a tipi wedding, don\u2019t forget toilets, power generator, land hire, insurance, catering equipment, security, glass and tableware can all be additional costs so make sure you factor in all these bits when budgeting \u263a<\/p>\n

Have the best day ever!<\/p>\n
