DIY skills helped create the shabby chic wedding of Lauren Kidd and James Elleray.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The pair, aged 25 and 28 respectively, celebrated the start of their marriage\u00a0on June 6, 2015 and worked hard to bring the bride\u2019s vision to life. \u201cI wanted a vintage, shabby chic wedding. I love vintage d\u00e9cor,\u201d says Lauren. \u201cI also love pastel colours.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

So everything from hessian sashes, lace bunting, decorated jam jars, a wooden drop-top guest book and centerpieces with bark and hearts were born!<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe made our own place cards on brown card<\/a> and stamped the guest names on and put a button on each place card,\u201d describes Lauren. \u201cThe buttons were James’ gran’s which she used to collect, she was too unwell to attend the full day so was nice to have this touch on our place cards.\u201d<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

Their ceremony with 84 guests at Healds Green Church in Chadderton was followed by a reception with 110 guests at The Fleece Inn in Ripponden. \u201cIt was so special and such a nice relaxed service, which is exactly what we wanted. We loved every moment of the day,\u201d smiles Lauren.<\/u><\/u><\/span><\/p>\n

The couple are planning a cruise through the Caribbean for their honeymoon.<\/span><\/p>\n
