Sam and Chantelle

Planning your wedding is no easy task. From choosing your venue, your dress, the suits, who will be bridesmaids, best man, the cake, will it be chicken or beef, all way right down to the little details of which font will go onto the place cards for the table plan!

I like to send out a few questions to my brides and grooms about a month before the big day to get to know them a little and to find out which lovely suppliers they’ve asked to help make their day so special.

Here’s Sam and Chantelle’s wedding story.

Greenery and simple to reflect Delamere Forest. Green is Chantelle’s favourite colour.
