Follow the bride - The Big Day

5^th December 2015 saw Katie and Graham get married, here's Katie with lots of photos from the big day and of course some confetti shots…

Brew me up a cup for a winter's night
When the wind howls loud in the cold moonlight
Spice it with love and stir it with care
And I'll toast your bright eyes, my sweetheart fair

There's nothing better for Graham and I on a cold winter's day than a good walk with our dog Bramble, then coming home to a mulled cider with a warm blanket in front of the fire… except maybe a Wedding! Well the wind certainly did howl loud on the 5^th December when storm Desmond decided to make an appearance, but a blustery day saw fun and laughter had by all and an amazing confetti shot!

Working for Shropshire Petals I've obviously seen a lot of confetti go out the door and I've been to a lot of weddings and thrown a lot of confetti. With the wind blowing a gale, even I had my doubts on the confetti shot, but with confetti in hand and an awesome photographer -Lois Rowlands - everyone was ready to go and I know I'm biased but what a confetti shot!

The confetti shot is such a surreal, once in a lifetime moment, everyone is standing waiting, confetti cone in hand and ready to throw, there's a moment of calm then all of a sudden confetti is in an absolute whirlwind and everyone loves it! I think with the wind all of our guests got their own confetti moments too, it really was like a confetti blizzard, Graham and I loved it!

Making mine and the bridesmaid's dresses and most of the wedding details meant we didn't use a great deal of suppliers, so a big mention must go out to those who we did use; Appleberry Press, The Wedding Tree, Silverline Cars, Yarwood-White, Irregular Choice, Jasmine's Floral Fancies and Hill Valley Golf and Country Club, oh and Shropshire Petals of course! Lois has just featured our wedding on her blog if anyone would like a look at all the details of the day.

All the details came together and I even had pockets in my dress! I also had gloves and a cardigan and all the girls had cosy shawls. The mini Christmas trees in the church added a festive feel and arriving at the venue to mulled cider, good food and a fabulous cake added lots of rich flavours, the fun was topped off with our amazing 'over the moon' photo booth which Graham's brother made for us.

Two people I would obviously like to add a big mention to are; Mum who helped and guided with the seemingly endless amount of sewing and of course, my Husband, ah that word never gets old!

Love Katie at SP x x
