Elizabeth took on as many tasks as she could, putting her DIY talents to the tesxt – even adding handmade flowers to her own wedding dress! Now that is a committed and confident bride!
“The best piece of advice I was given, which I wish I had remembered, was if you see something you love and it’s a good price, just get it. So often I searched and searched only to end up with the first thing I had found.”
“Without our family and friends our wedding just would not have been possible, my bridesmaids were always helping search the net for prices and ideas, I was always on the phone to my mum for help picking things up I’d found somewhere.”
“We paid for everything our wedding party needed to look fabulous on the day!”
