As we were sadly unable to go to any wedding fairs (mainly for a giggle and eating cake), food sampling or even see the venue we had picked.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0727-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal">Michelle crocheted all of her and the bridesmaid flowers, as well as cactus for wedding favours. This took her months but the effort and love in making them made them a talking point and special part of the day and a wanted keepsake for all who attended.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0085-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal"> If you had to offer any advice to newly engaged couples what would you say?</p><ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="1" type="1"> </ol><p class="MsoNormal">Don't be swayed with tradition and really go with what you want for your day, no matter how weird it is. Think carefully of what makes you both happy and don't get bogged down in the mundane, like chair covers...no one cares!! </p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0070-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><o:p><br></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Have a plan of what to do with your decorations after the wedding, so that they can re-sold or re-used, this helps cut down on costs and also helps the environment.<br></p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Is there anything you wish you had done that you didnt?</p><ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="2" type="1"> </ol><p class="MsoNormal">This sounds trivial but booked taxis in advance as the remote location meant it proved difficult at the end of the night for getting guest's home.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0112-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal">Also booked accommodation closer for getting ready in the morning.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"> What were the benefits of having a celebrant led ceremony?</p><ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="3" type="1"> </ol><p class="MsoNormal">We got to tell our story of how we came to be and our journey of getting there. This meant it was humorous and fun which kept it light hearted and inclusive. It also meant we could incorporate lots of poems and meaningful vows, free of religion or patriarchy. We had a hand fasting ceremony which was particularly symbolic and meant we physically tied the knot, as well as the more traditional exchange of rings - (we have the tied ribbons as a keepsake.)<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0133-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"></p><p class="MsoNormal">Is there anything you hadnt considered for a marquee <span class="mark0vibwly01"><span data-markjs="true" data-ogac="" data-ogab="" data-ogsc="">wedding</span></span> that you wish you knew beforehand?</p><ol style="margin-top:0cm" start="4" type="1"> </ol><p class="MsoNormal">Honestly no, we prepared for all eventualities so had lots of blankets, ponchos for rain and umbrellas. Some of the paper decorations were damaged from the rain but it really didn't detract from the overall look. I guess the biggest thing for us was some table decorations blowing away but we quickly spotted this and weighted them down.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0840-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><br></p><p> </p><p class="MsoNormal">DIY weddings take time to set up so allow the day prior to do this and have a clear vision of what you want and what goes where, this really helps as it can be really overwhelming the day before!!</p><p class="MsoNormal"><img src="../blogimages/714056382/pretty-and-punk-weddings-0462-devon-wedding-inspiration-wedding-blog-wedding-directory-wedding-inspiration-uk.jpg" style="width: 100%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p><br></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12pt;"><o:p>Thank you so much to Toby and Michelle for their wonderful advice during their wedding planning.
