This weekend became the weekend of weddings as I was attending two of my dearest friends weddings in two days. Think of the outfit nightmares as the weather was not playing ball with the day remaining wet and windy but this didn't stop us enjoying the beautiful wedding of Alyson and Dan at the Barn Brasserie in Great Tey Colchester http://www.thebarnbrasserie.co.uk/.
This wedding also gave me the opportunity to try out my new camera which I was uber excited about!
The barn provided a beautiful setting for Alyson and Dan civil ceremony with an international twist with the groom's family watching the ceremony on skype all the way from Brazil and their stunning cake played on this international connection, shaped as the landscape of Rio! I was feeling a little bad that this stunning creation was going to be cut up.
The table settings had a distinctive rustic charm featuring bright sunflowers in wooden boxes. There was also beautiful wooden boxes with candles to create a stunning glow in the dark and damp weather.
Each guest had a picture of themselves as their table setting which created a great talking point as everyone was trying to guess where Aly and Dan had got these pictures from. Mine was from my work's Christmas party fortunately still in a sober state!
The bride had chosen gorgeous sunflowers to accompany her stunning ivory dress and she had created a beautiful contrast with the bridesmaids having ivory flowers
Determined to keep the international element of the day going and with the groom being a keen drummer, we heard the rumblings of a samba band which appeared from the courtyard to entertain all the guests, even had me dancing around so apologies for the lack of good pcitures of this as dancing leads to camera shake! I just could stop dancing to the latin beat :)
