A Pretty in Pink Spring Wedding planned in Five Months

Burlap and lace, baby's breath and bunting, paper poms and fairy lights, just a few of my favourite wedding decorations in the world! The lovely Charlotte and Chris planned a pretty in pink wedding, and I love all their feminine details. Can you believe Charlotte organised it all in five months? Even the wedding favours are printed with a personal message. Other wedding ideas to steal include the giant wooden heart wedding guest book, and the beribboned jam jar vases - a super easy DIY you can re-create at home. Thank you to Alexa Poppe Wedding Photography for her lovely pictures. Make sure you check out her blog for more wedding inspiration.

We got married on 21st Feb 2015 at The Green in Upton Cross, near Liskeard in Cornwall.

We loved the shabby chic feel of the barn venue, and the pretty scenery. We wanted a vintage theme - the pink came later!

Our wedding favours were all edible. Personalised chocolate bars, Cornish fudge, pink 'Just Married' rock, and pink, foil-covered love hearts.

Our florist was Escential Blooms who came recommended. I wasn't disappointed, everything they did was perfection. They captured my ideas in just one of two emails. 

We had lots of baby's breath in jam jars, burlap table runners and vintage-style pink tea-light holders. Everyone was very impressed with all the decorations supplied by Escential Blooms.

Our wedding food was created by Haycart Catering, who also have a restaurant called Hayloft in Menheniot, in Cornwall. The food was first class quality. Great selection. Excellent staff. Everyone complimented us on the food.

I really enjoyed planning our wedding, although I only had 5 months to do it!

My advice to other brides? Trust your instincts and do not doubt yourself. Don't try to please everyone, as your guests will all have a good time no matter what. Be prepared, but don't panic if things change on the day, just go with the flow. The day goes so fast, so savour every moment.

We chose a two-tier wedding cake, decorated with pink flowers, because I'm not a fan of cake toppers. The cake was also decorated with pearls in keeping with our feminine, vintage theme.

Our wedding photographer was Alexa Poppe, who was a recommendation. Again, she was the perfect choice!

A Pretty in Pink Spring Wedding planned in Five Months

I love a winter wedding! Brides who are brave enough to embrace the chill have a huge head start.....they know what the weather will be like. Charlotte and Chris prepared themselves with pretty umbrellas in their theme colours of pink and blue, and some seriously classy wellington boots. I love Charlotte's selection of three different types of footwear. Glittery heels, glittery flats, and glittery boots. All fabulous. I'm also swooning over her classically British dress, from local designers Romantica of Devon, and her simple one bloom bouquet. There's plenty more pretty in pink details coming in Part 2 of this lovely wedding - don't miss it. Huge thanks to the lovely Alexa Poppe Wedding Photography for these beautiful images. Find similar wellies via Zalando or Joules. And for a similar pretty wedding barn venue, check out Heaton House Farm.

I chose a Romantica wedding dress which is uncanny, since they are based in Devon. I loved the lace vintage look. Very British.

My bridesmaids chose the dress they wanted, and  I picked the colour. They were made by Linzi Jay.

My husband's wedding outfit was a bright navy suit, with a waistcoat from Hugh Harris Menswear in Surrey. He teamed it with a white shirt and blue tie. The only pink accent was his pin.

We had a few DIY decor projects, including several rustic-style hay bales decorated with signs, hearts, wellington boots and lucky horseshoes.

Our florist was Escential Blooms who came recommended. I wasn't disappointed, everything they did was perfection. They captured my ideas in just one of two emails. Everyone was very impressed with all the decorations they supplied.

I walked down the aisle to Amy Winehouse's song 'To Know Him is to Love Him'. 

We left the wedding barn to 'At Last' by Etta James. Our first dance was 'Loving You Baby' by Charles Bradley.
