The reason my boyfriend and I went was for a wedding that had a very vintage/handmade feel to it. I spent the day of the wedding (as well as the four days in between the wedding and touching down in Brisbane) setting it all up which was quite a flashback to my first job in which I worked on around three weddings a week at a hotel based in Derbyshire.
The Bride and Groom had got wind of my experience, and the few days I was around before the wedding I helped them out with all manner of things.
When arriving I helped Emma (the bride) plan how to set the tables out at the reception given that it was meant to be outdoors and the weather forecast was rain throughout the day. They had hired a house to have the wedding in, and were unsure as to whether the tables would work inside.
I was entrusted to set it all up in the four hours between the ceremony and the reception. I had help from Emma's Mum who was a star when it came to tidying and cleaning as I am a little messy.
So colourful. Such a shame the sun didn't shine.
Handmade (by Emma and I) tissue paper pompoms hung on the stairs....
...and on the ceiling.
Gift table.
Gorgeous floral prints used for the swing tag style name cards.
The napkins were handmade by Emma's Mum.
A range of cocktails in large glass jars.
The best sweet (or "lolly" as the say in Aus) selection I have ever seen.
The flowers were a mix of real and fake, all sat nicely in recycled glass bottles.
The wedding looked absolutely amazing and Emma and John put so much time and effort into finding all the gorgeous props and accessories. Helping them out wasn't a chore at all. I love getting involved with this kind of thing and they bought my boyfriend and I dinner to say thanks. Getting paid in food is definitely the best.
