This morning's wedding is extra special because it has two ceremonies and two gowns. So there's twice as much wedding pretty for you!

You'd think with two ceremonies to fit into the day that everything would be on a tight schedule and that it would be totally jam-packed, but Yasmin and Alex's big day looks unbelievably relaxed and laid back.

They even stopped off for brunch after the first ceremony. I know? How perfect does that sound?

There are so many gorgeous Spring flowers on show too - bright yellow daffodils, deep purple tulips and dainty crocus, which make such pretty bouquets. The flowers look beautiful in the river side venue too and are the perfect way to bring the season indoors.

Yasmin The Bride:We wanted our wedding to be a blend of vintage and contemporary and a reflection of our our cultures; Alex is English and my family are from Mauritius. I love all things handmade and vintage and being half of Lost, Found, ReMade made me even more determined to make the whole wedding to feel personalised and handmade - from the wedding invitations all the way to the cake stands and wedding cake itself!

We had a small family civil ceremony in Stoke Newington Town Hall and then a religious ceremony and reception in the Ecology Pavilion in Mile End. In between the two events, we had family brunch in a lovely new café, Green Room, at the back of a florists on Church Street.

I searched in lots of London dress boutiques and found gorgeous dresses in Heavenly Vintage and Elizabeth Avey but couldn't find one that felt right for me. In the end I went for a total leftfield option and found my dress in the Oxfam Bridal Boutique in Cambridge! It was the last of eleven dresses that I tried on and the unusual lace scalloping and simple design won me over.

My friend Michelle was an absolute magician when it came to nipping and tucking to make it fit me. She runs Handmade Weddings with a friend - they specialise in workshops to help Brides create all their décor from scratch. I also had a second oufit for the religious ceremony - an embellished ivory and gold sari, which I bought the sari from a shop in Upton Park. Haggling essential!

I wanted to keep my accessories fairly simple as I had two outfits to contend with - and not a lot of time for the changeover! I managed to find shoes, beaded bag and fur coat all secondhand, which complemented the wedding dress. All my jewellery had a sentimentality attached; the emerald ring was a gift from Alex's aunt, the vintage gold bead necklace was my wedding gift from Alex and the earrings and bangles belong to my Mum.

My Bridesmaids were my best friend Lucy and my sister Faiza. I wanted them to wear matching indigo dresses to fit in with our flowers. Their dresses were from Topshop's boutique range - I loved the deep blue colour and huge, sparkly flowers all over them. I knew that a lot of family would be in sparkly saris and so I wanted them to stand out as Bridesmaids.

The flowers in the Ecology Pavilion were all bought at New Covent Garden market a few days before the wedding and we patiently put them in water and hoped they would bud in time! For vases we used old kilner glasses and some that belonged to Alex's Mum or were made by his Aunt, Bridget Williams, who is a potter. The boys' daffodil buttonholes and my gorgeous bouquet were made by two local ladies Lizzie and Moa who only use British grown cut flowers in their beautiful floral arrangements. The other floral touch were pressed flowers which were stuck on everything that I could think of!

The rest of the décor was a DIY project! We transformed the space using real ivy draped from pillars, over 100m of fairylights and lots of tealights in jam jars. As part of Lost, Found, ReMade, myself and my friend Siobhan handmake candles, cake stands and clocks using unloved vintage crockery. This vintage handmade touch was stamped all over the venue - from the cake stands which had delicious cakes adorning them, to teacup candles dotted around the room, and crocuses in teacups on every dinner table. Each guest also walked away with a personalised goody bag that included a Lost, Found, ReMade candle, Divine chocolates and an Espresso Mushroom Seedbomb.

Our catering was done by a great local company Eden, who accepted the challenge of creating a Mauritian fusion meal and created a delicious three course meal - and all sustainably and ethically sourced. Chloe and Adrian were great at adapting their plans for catering and furniture according to our changes of schedule, and planned and executed the day seamlessly. As well as managing the furniture, three course meal and building a kitchen in a space where there was no running water, they also made an amazing selection of canapés and cakes, and handled all of the drinks too.

Our wedding cake was handmade by Alex's dad - he used to be a baker and created a beautiful three tier traditional white cake for us. It was so important to us to have this family touch.

Finally - our photographer! We met Simon through his partner, Heather, who Alex had worked with on some photography projects for his start-up food business, Espresso Mushroom Company. She put us in touch with Simon and over a very tasty breakfast in Brighton, we talked him through our wedding and he talked us through his approach. We totally fell in love with his photographic style and when we met him we knew that his easy, calming nature would be perfect for our hectic wedding! Both him and Heather shot our wedding which was great for us as it meant we could have photographs of both sides getting ready.
