This wedding has everything that makes my little heart go all fluttery. First off, I LOVE me a city wedding, and Katy's Palace Bar is quickly becoming one of my favourite venues for its eclectic urban appeal. Then there's the mix of glam gold, greenery and pale blooms that Georja and Danny chose to decorate their reception - the perfect way to bring a touch of garden romance to their warehouse-style location, and let's not forget Georja's pastel bouquet, and feather-detailed dress. Sparkling fairy lights, gold-painted animal favours, tall candelabras - oh, and a glittering gold cake. Not to mention pretty maids all in a row in charcoal infinity dresses by our friends at Gelique. I love it all, so let's get to oohing over it, shall we? These fab pictures are from the team at Blackframe Photography - always a pleasure to share their work!

Wedding DetailsDIY Elements Memorable Moment
The day itself was always going to be little nerve wracking, but I remember all the nervousness melting away the minute I saw Danny at the end of the aisle. I didn't get a chance to see the venue before I arrived to get married, so an amazing moment was walking through both venues and seeing how spectacular everything looked, and what an amazing job all the suppliers did to pull everything together so beautifully.
To save on costs, we took on several DIY projects for our wedding. As an Art Director I'm fortunate enough to be equipped with a good knowledge of design, and have several graphic designer friends - one of whom was willing to help us out with a monogram design that we used across almost all of our elements: from our animated invitations, to our lasercut cake topper. My mother, sisters and I spent many long nights spray-painting little plastic animals gold for the place settings, and hammering patterns into tin cans collected by all my friends to use as candle holders for the outside section of the venue.
The design of the wedding stationery was very important to us, and we were involved in designing every element ourselves. The venue itself was a reflection of our individuality as a couple - it's not every day someone ties the knot in a bar! We are a family that are passionate about food (Danny's Italian), so the menu was a huge thing for us. We spared no expense making sure that our guests were served multiple plated courses of the most amazing food, supplied by the fabulous Fresh team. I was quite particular about the look of the wedding cake, so I also designed it myself. We wanted our first dance to be unique and personal, so we got two of our very talented musician friends to perform an acoustic cover of our favourite Bob Marley song, which was magical.
