Bride and grooms names: Bart Kohler and Carly Laughton
Did you have a theme? If so what was it? We loved the pale pink heart on your invitations, so decided to carry this through as our theme! We also wanted the wedding style to be fairly simple and ‘us’, with a little bit of vintage.
Colours that your used? Vintage pinks and ivory
What Venue(s) did you use for the ceremony and reception?: Ceremony - Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Hampton (where my grandparents were married and where I was Christened). Reception - Sails on the Bay in Elwood (because we met on the beach in front of the reception venue where our triathlon squad trains)
What invitation design did you have?: The ‘Heart’ style - we loved it!
What was your favourite bit of the ceremony?:Carly - walking down the aisle and seeing all our family and friends, then Bart with an enormous smile waiting at the end. Also Bart’s face as the doors of the church opened at the end of the ceremony and he saw the guard of honour his Army mates had formed as a surprise!
Bart - The congregation filling the church to watch my beautiful bride beaming down the aisle.
What was your favourite bit of the reception?:Carly - The Mr Whippy van, the speeches and my mum’s awesome flowers on the tables! Bart - The look on people’s faces as they saw the table settings, which included their names on scrabble boards, the hand made bomboniere and the Mr Whippy tickets!
Who made your Cake?: Sails on the Bay. And my mum did the flowers on the top of the cake.
Top tip for soon to be brides and grooms?: Keep it simple. Think of a few extra special things for the reception - our family and friends loved the Mr Whippy van and photo booth, and they created a great atmosphere at the reception. Take time to enjoy the planning and the day - it all goes too quickly! And make sure the bridal cars have a full tank of petrol!
