After mocking up a design, helping me choose the georgette silk, chiffon and embellishments for my dress, they also arranged a designer to make my dress. It cost me less for my custom-made dress, than it would have to purchase an off-the-shelf gown from one of the wedding boutiques.

With two delicious flavours - flourless chocolate, and white choc and raspberry - topped with macarons, white chocolate shards and succulents from my garden, the cake was more like a piece of art. It fitted perfectly with our rustic, beach-inspired theme and was devoured by both children and adults.

MaryAnne and the band were a great find for our wedding. We really enjoyed their music, and had lovely feedback from our guests. They helped to create the upbeat and relaxed atmosphere we were hoping for and were kind enough to throw in some Irish songs for my husband's family.

As I was a having a contemporary beach wedding, I decided not to wear a veil. I opted for a diamond and pearl comb, which I picked out, tried on, and paid for in 10 minutes. It finished off my outfit beautifully, and kept my mum happy!
