Reminiscing on our first wedding anniversary

Who can resist the urge to reminisce on their first wedding anniversary? I can’t believe quite how fast the last 12 months has gone or how much we have packed in, including half a year gallivanting around Europe and the US. It really has been the most brilliant start to marriage!

If you missed it at the time, you have to check out our wedding video. Of course we are biased, but we think it is incredible and cannot thank The Story of Us enough for giving us the perfect way to remember our big day and share it with friends and family for years to come. We have definitely looked at is so many more times than our photos!

But while we’re at it, here are a few of my favourite photos:

I know we all say it, but it truly was the best day of my life. Pure magic! In some respects, I’d love to do it all again, but in others, I’m happy to keep my perfect memories. It couldn’t have been any better.

But I’m pretty certain the best is yet to come! Thank you, Damian, for the happiest 365 days and here’s to many more.

Get the look: the Interiors Addict guide to wedding styling

Today it’s 2 months since I married my love. How times flies when you’re honeymooning, moving house and enjoying married life! Before I completely let go of being a recent bride and get on with being a wife, I thought I’d share one last wedding post with you, this time about the styling aspect.

It will come as no surprise that I was more interested in what my wedding would look like than what I’d look like! I don’t DO dresses. I do however, do decor! So I had a lot of fun with this part of wedding planning. Here are some highlights and details of all my suppliers.

Perhaps the most talked about things at my wedding were: the dress, the flowers and the vintage caravan which I had arranged to serve tea and biscuits (I know, how English) as a fun and pretty time-killer after church and before the reception. That Vintage Caravan were brilliant. I’d seen their pink caravan (Sweet Jane’s Travelling Teahouse) at events before but when I found out they had a new addition, Spencer, who was not only very handsome but also navy and therefore on colour scheme, it was just meant to be!

Suffice to say none of my guests had ever been to a wedding where they served tea from a caravan parked on the street outside the church before and everyone said it was “very Jen”. The priest, in his wisdom, didn’t hesitate to give us the go ahead. Kelly Holcroft and her team did a top job of styling the grassy area around Spencer too, which suited the relaxed, pretty vibe we were going for. Total event professionals!
