Life Update - Our Wedding
The Cake
I was concerned I wouldn't find anyone to make me a vegan (milk & egg free) and gluten free cake (my sister is coeliac) but I ended up getting quotes from a number of people in the local area. In the end we chose Sugar Mouse Bakery. We wanted to keep things simple with the design as the important part for us was the flavour. We both dislike fruitcake so it was always going to be sponge. The top tier was chocolate with fresh raspberries in the "buttercream" and the bottom tier almond with fresh cherries (aka Bakewell tart flavour!). I kept the cake topper a surprise and found it on via Etsy (Bee3dGifts), a perfect choice because Mr Sugarpuffish is a Dr Who fan.
The Flowers
I've never been the type of girl who dreamed about their wedding day from a young age but randomly the one detail I knew right away was my bouquet. I adore Gerberas so I kept my flowers simple and colourful. Our florist was Va Va Bloom. I had my bouquet and our family had matching buttonholes. For our tables I borrowed an idea I saw on Pinterest and bought mini milk bottle crates and put gerbaras in them.
The Favours
You know me I had to sneak Green Beauty into the wedding some how (aside from my makeup of course) so I asked Sam of Sugarloaf Soaps to make the favours. We had heart shaped soaps stamped with our initials and wedding date.
The Dress, Hair & Makeup
My sister did my hair and makeup using the products I had shared with you over the past months. You can view the final selection in my recent post - My Bridal Makeup. My dress was bought from a local store who specialise in plus sizes. For those interested it was Callista London in Vanilla. My hairband came from Ebay, I also had a personalised clutch bag from Mabelicious Clutch and my shoes I bought online from Elegant Steps (Amelia by Paradox Pink in blue). My necklace was purchased in a local store and my earrings from Accessorize.
The Groom's outfit
We bought the Groom's suit at Next and his waistcoat and cravat from DQT. His shoes were a bargain find in a Next Outlet store.
The Photographer
We hired Leslie of BH13 as our wedding photographer. He was great to work with and put everyone at ease. We are delighted with our photos and highly recommend him.

I am going to blog separately about our Honeymoon as we just came back from a week in Venice, Italy.
