WWW readers Kate and Jon tied the knot on 24 ^th August 2013 and chose Wethele Manor, Warwickshire to hold their outdoor ceremony and marquee reception. With a love of country cottage garden flowers Kate chose the prettiest natural summer blooms for the bouquets and table flowers. She also sewed the sweet fabric table names and hand stamped the spoon favours.

Kate looked so beautiful in an ethereal feel Mia Mia wedding dress which she teamed with patent nude Jimmy Choos and flowers in her hair. Jon looked dapper in a grey suit by Reiss and the bridesmaids wore pretty peach Laura Ashley dresses. So beautiful.

Thanks so much to the super fabulous Daffodil Waves Photography for sharing her photographs with us.

I wanted to make as many of the bits for the wedding as my (limited) skills allowed as I love crafting things, I made the table number with some Cath Kidston fabric I had kicking about at home and some buttons, I bought some cheap frames of them and have reused the frames and they have some wedding pictures in them now in our bedroom. I bought some plain cardboard letters form Hobbycraft and covered them in pretty paper. We reused the potted plants from the ceremony and filled them with flags to use as an unusual table plan.

The biggest challenge I gave myself was hand stamping all the old spoons which we used as name places and favours, this was trial and error, as I made so mistakes to start with of not banging the stamps hard enough, getting the letters backwards, to close together or silly spelling mistakes! But it was so worth it in the end, our guests loved them, even if they were a bit wonky!

I was really pleased with the layout of the tables, because we had a small number in the day I wanted everyone to be able to see each other and I think the square we had the tables arranged in really worked, and filled the big marquee brilliantly.

I have some great friends who really helped, including my friend Tania who helped me for hours making tissue pom poms for the dance floor!

The confetti throwing was so dazzling in the sunshine, some of my favourite photos!

Walking into the marquee for the first time, it just looked so amazing with all the bits I'd put together and seeing the gorgeous flowers, and a feeling of relief that the shape of the tables had worked!

Dancing the night away, and laughing at our 2 year old strutting his funky stuff, it was so cute and I would recommend having children at your wedding, they really we so sweet and added to the relaxed fun feel of the day.

Go with vendors you like and that get back to you quickly, nothing worse than having to chase people.

Don't always hire stuff, we bought all our bunting because it was only a bit more expensive, and you can sell it after! We are using some of ours to decorate a the nursery of the baby girl we are now expecting!

Enjoy every second!
