My last wedding for the 2010 summer wedding season was possibly my biggest. An absolutely gorgeous couple, Deanna and Simon engaged my help around August 2009. They wanted a wedding at Rippon but were cautious about the work involved with it being a marquee.

My involvement was full for their wedding, from organising the stationary, which was designed and produced by the talented Kate Holland of Ruby & Willow, to the de-rig the day after and even organising he shipping of their wedding gifts to London.
