Seriously pretty prints. That's what first struck me about today's gorgeous marquee wedding. I do love a Bride who is brave enough to use print on her wedding day. Georgie gets it bang on too...

From the cute floral 50s style Bridesmaids gowns, to the paisley print on the stationery, to the lining of the marquee which is covered in birds and foliage - this wedding is FULL of covetable print action.

The beautiful wooden pergola where the couple held their ceremony is also a permanent feature at Georgie's family home, so they can sit there and relive the memories of their wedding day whenever they chose. How lovely is that?

Georgie The Bride: We married at my parent's home. It's a very special, peaceful place full off extraordinarily happy memories; it was the perfect setting. We got married under a specially designed wooden pergola which was built in amongst the trees. Since the wedding we have been lucky enough to sit in the pergola as a family and reminisce about the day.

Chris' mum is a hairdresser so she helped me with a number of pre-wedding hair trials. I was lucky enough to have her on hand as my hairdresser on the big day. I then had a very old friend (and trained make up artist) do my make up; she always looks beautiful, and since we were little I used to ask if she would "do my make up when I get married" so it was amazing to have her there!

The marquee had the most beautiful lining of wild flowers and birds on the inside, so it meant you didn't need/want to do too much inside. We went for dove grey cloths and a mix of coloured flowers for the centre pieces. We spent the months leading up to the wedding, sourcing vintage/second hand cut glass decanters, bottles, glasses, bowls etc. for the flowers to sit in, surrounded by candles - it was just beautiful as each piece was different and every table varied. Most of the finds came from a little vintage shop in our village.

My Mum created the flower arrangements in the marquee. Our bridal party spent a few hours the day prior to the wedding tying flowers and coloured ribbons to the ceremony marquee legs (drafted in last minute due to rain so it was a last minute creation); and they absolutely made the aisle. Right next to where we took our vows, Chris' granny prepared some old war time chimney pots which she filled with lavender - they had such history and were so special to have as part of the day.

We had a bit of a disaster right before the ceremony in that the music stopped. By the time I got to the top of the aisle, the whole congregation started to sing. It was a moment we, and our guests, will never forget and one people are still talking about.

We had Chris' brothers' band play after dinner, then our friends DJed. The dance floor was heaving all night. Our first dance was a song by the Stone Roses called Tightrope which initially meant more to Chris than me. The more I listened to it in the lead up and absorbed the lyrics, the more it felt right.

As Chris is a barber, we opted for gold moustache place cards. We borrowed some lovely wooden room dividers from friends and used these as a way to hang our table plan, decorated with fake hydrangea heads that I bought from Covent Garden Flower Market.

The table plan design was created in line with the invites by our brother in law, who is a very talented graphic designer. We went for paisley patterns and the overall theme of the table plan was Glastonbury where we spent our "mini-moon" a week later!

Savour the moments that you enjoy with each other and your loved ones; they are incredibly precious and will stay with you forever - our families and bridal party put their own hearts and souls into our wedding day and for that we will always be grateful.
