Just wanted to pop in and let you all know that the wedding was just beautiful, it's hard to imagine anything better suited to Pippi & Mr F. Pippi's dress looked absolutely amazing, the young adults both looked fab, Mr F looked handsome, and EVERYONE looked happy!
Greying your napkins were just fabulous - I used a purple one! It was lovely looking round the tables and seeing all the colours! Wik's food was a triumph, and the forest, thankfully, changed its clothes just in the nick of time and had a good attempt at upstaging the bride in its beauty!

Pop a few photos up when home.
Epic and bang on budget.
And if you think I wonder if she really asked her chums to put Nutella jars with foraged berries on recycled roof tiles on the tables instead of proper wedding flowers - you'd be absolutely right.
Epic - just shows what can be done on a tight budget and shopped around.
