Amalie & Sean’s Sweetly Simple Vows
Working nearly no budget, Amalie, Sean, and their families truly made the day their own. Amalie’s mum paid for food and a party tent (totalling around £300) and hosted the party in her home garden. For decor, they used Danish and English flags and burlap buntings; a family friend folded napkins to look like water lilies, Amalie’s uncle drove 30 minutes to pick wildflowers, and Amalie baked the wedding cake herself.
Their wedding bands were won in a small independent jewellery maker’s contest, and Amalie’s dress was found on sale at SimplyBe. She paired it with opal earrings from her grandmother and a Swarowski crystal moon necklace (the first piece of jewellery Sean ever got her). Sean wore an outfit made up of pieces from ASOS and Next along with a gift. “I bought him cufflinks with a moon and a star as a wedding present, because I always call him my moon and he calls me his shining star,” she said.
Amalie placed disposable cameras at the tables, and loved the raw, emotional photos her guests took.
