So how could I resist sharing this lovely wedding full of DIY touches and great ideas with you. It's everything you'd imagine for a countryside wedding and bundles more: there's bunting by the mile, and as an extra treat we have a vintage tractor and of course the adorable Peanuts the pony!

The wedding photography is by Martyn Norsworthy, who captures all those details and the beautiful bride with her handsome groom so well.
Holly & Dan's countryside wedding

My mother, bridesmaids and I went off to have our hair done at Floc Contemporary Hair in Kingsbridge where we met our fantastic photographer Martyn. Whilst having my hair done, our florist popped in with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Dan.

At 1.30pm it was time for my bridesmaids and mother to head off to the church in my Mothers blue VW Beetle-thankfully it had brightened up by then so they could have the roof down!

My Shoes were a complete bargain for £25 from Perdita’s wedding shoes — a website I came across in my searches! My earrings were from a set again from the internet but I can not remember which site. I had originally bought a sparkly/pearl hair slide for my hair but at the last minute changed my plans and bought the flower clip from Accessorize.
My mother gave me a white gold and sapphire ring as a wedding day present on the morning of the wedding-it is beautiful.







Having 5 minutes alone with Dan on the back of the tractor was lovely as we barely spent any time together after this moment!!
We got back to the house where we were greeted with champagne, cloudy lemonade and mini scones but also a vintage Ice Cream bike supplied by Icycle Tricycle. Our guests loved this idea-it was great to see adults enjoying the ice cream like excited children!





For our wedding breakfast we choose a family style picnic at the tables in the marquee. The Dinner Service of Kingsbridge provided the excellent food which ranged from a selection of cold meats, salads, to warm breads and roasted vegetables. For pudding each table had a big bowl of Eton Mess, a jug of chocolate sauce, a big bowl of ice cream and pouring cream which everyone just helped themselves to.


We served a huge cheese platter and a hog roast to our evening guests and rounded the night off at 1am when Dan and I made our way to Buckland Tout Saints Hotel for our first night as a married couple.
