Three years later....

Over the past few years there have been some big changes to my job, location and marital status. It's been incredible and I've enjoyed it with old friends and new, but I thought that it might be time to dust off this old blog, and share some bits of life. 

In keeping with old posts, here's a little look at some of the handmade and homegrown elements of our wedding day. 

Photography by John Miles.

Invitations and menus designed and letter pressed by the wonderful James.

Homegrown herbs mixed with other beautiful seasonal flowers for the bouquets and the jam jars on tables.

Rose petal confetti - grown and dried at home.

Our tables, all mapped out on Dartmoor.

Homemade peppermint cream hearts were hidden inside the favour bags. I bought the fabric from Cowslip Workshops and sewed for days on end! I enlisted the help of Jo for her beautiful handwriting on the tags, then printed them with old bicycle plates found on the internet.

The boozy fruit cake made by Mama Brown was decorated with more seasonal flowers and herbs, and wrapped in ribbon from VVRouleaux.

When we sent out invitations we asked for pictures on the postcards that our guests replied with. We displayed these in books made by Liz Brown.

I loved all the making, baking, growing, laughing, eating, drinking, singing and dancing that went into our wedding, it made it ours. And at the end of it, there was just one thing that mattered...
