Food & Cake

de Haven Oost prepared our food.

Connie Pelzer from Soete vingers made the cake. It was amazing as always.

Wedding Stationery

We used Forget me not crafts.

They did our welcoming board, gifts, wedding boxand Guest signing puzzle.

Everything was wood... It looked absolutely amazing.

The Reception and Entertainment

The reception: We started off with canapés while we took photos. We played the shoe game and from there all the speeches. Then we ate and had our first dance... After that we did the bouquet toss. Then the party started.

We did not take dance lessons, we just danced like we always do.

The sound and lighting was included in the wedding package.
