their modern craft wedding.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Royal Welsh was the starting point for our ideas \u2013 a beautiful modern building with all of the creative links to music and theatre that are perfect for us (Rob is an actor and sings in an a cappella group and I love theatre, music and dance),&#8221; Jo, 30, explains.<\/p>\n<p>Jo and Rob, 31, also used their creativity to make as many things for the big day as possible &#8211; from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/weddingfavours\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">favours<\/a> to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingDecorations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">centrepieces<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I put an emphasis on patterns, paper and books, another of my loves!&#8221; says Jo.<\/p>\n<p>The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff \u00a0hosted the couple&#8217;s ceremony and reception on July 23, 2016, celebrated with 130 friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I think that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingDecorations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the look and the feel<\/a> was something a bit different, full of colour and music,&#8221; Jo says of the celebrations full of home-made gems.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For me, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/WeddingMusic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">music<\/a> was what made it \u2013 with our amazing friends I bet it was the best show on in Cardiff that day as well as being our best day ever.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a
