I do love it when I feature weddings where I know the suppliers not just on a professional level but a personal level as well. Today’s couple Sarah and David are from Sheffield but chose to get married in Wales as they spent so many holidays together there. The Sheffield connection meant they used lots of local suppliers, many of which I am happily familiar with. For her dress Sarah chose to use Melvyn & Reynaldo of Vyn Johns who create the most exquisite gowns, pure style and quality, they really did do a wonderful job. As for the rest of the wedding, so many elements of it were DIY, including the yurt, yes the yurt! I think this is the first time in my 10 years of blogging that a couple have built their own yurt (that they now hire out for weddings and events!) The whole wedding is laid back, chilled and totally unique to Sarah and David. Big thanks to Alexandra Wallace  for the images. A truly Magical manifestation of love, collaboration and smiles. But also incredibly exhausting!

Sarah and David were married on 16th September 2018 at Llÿn Peninsula on the North Wales coast Bach Wen Holiday Farm & Cottages. ‘We are drawn to that part of Wales and have been having holidays there almost every year since we met 9 years ago. We had approx 130 guests and it took about a year to plan as we built our yurt within that time.’
