Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Dousi!
Marlies & Daan celebrated their wedding day on Friday at Colwick Hall inside the stunning Grand Ballroom.
Arriving on a horse and carriage- just in time before it started to rain!!
After a beautiful ceremony their guests enjoyed drinks and wedding cake in the lounge whilst I helped the staff to re-set the Ballroom ready for the wedding breakfast.
It was an extra special day for Marlies & Daan, not only was it 10 years to the day they had met but it was also the queens birthday in the Netherlands, a national holiday and a day that you can't marry there. Originally from the Netherlands, Marlies & Daan shared there day with family and friends who had made an extra effort to travel to the UK to celebrate.
Therefore they now share their wedding anniversary with the queen!
As you can see from the photos, the inspiration for their day was taken from all things Dutch... the colour orange, tulips and the ornaments used to decorate the cake and as favours and place cards.
It was a fantastic day and they were a wonderful couple to work with!
The highlights of the day for me was definitely the group shot using the orange umbrellas (I can't wait to see that photo!) and the first dance, Marlies & Daan had been practicing and it was great to watch!
A huge thank you to all the suppliers...
Cake - Adele at April Flowers & Cakes
Flowers - Zoe at Zinc Floral Design
Disco - Sara at DiscoMania
And last but certainly not least the talented Stuart at Photo Nottingham who captured the day and even surprised guests during the evening reception with a slide show of photos from the day!
I can't wait to see the rest....
