...No we are not talking about a style of hat, that my friends is Finnish for 'A Finnish Wedding' (funny language - we never did get the hang of it)
We thought it would be nice to document a few details about Ida and Luke's wedding and what made their day so special and different.
(photographs on blog by Kimmi Piggott - Not an official wedding photographer)
1. THE DRESS ('S)
The Bride made all of her own dresses. Yes you heard right. Ida is a dab hand with the sewing machine. She has never had any formal training but seeing as she started when they got engaged, she had a year to perfect it.

| Dress no. 1 made for the registration. We love how they have coordinated. Note to all - Flowers are made from a bunch bought at a supermarket - Simple, cheap, and lovely. Photo by Sofia (Ida's Sister) |

| Dress no. 2 Royal Blue Maxi dress made for the party day. |

2. THE LITTLE THINGS THAT MAKE THE DAY
 |
| Homemade bunting (By Ida, of course!) in a cute town hall. |
 |
| Strip of ribbons on a wall with photographs attached of the Bride and Groom growing up, and their friends. |
 |
| Party Favours - Lolly pops! |
 |
| With hand stamped labels |
 |
| The Book of Love... Ida created a scrap book with postcards in for people to write messages on. Also there are some heart bubbles to accompany the lolly pops! |
 |
| Simple, cost effective, and pretty fabric tied into bows on the back of every chair. |
 |
| Handmade (by the best friend) place settings |
 |
| A lovely bouquet given to the bride as a gift. |
 |
| And someone always has to turn up in a traditional costume! |
 |
| Each table had an envelope with a challenge on. Our table had to battle it out in a quiz about the b&g with another table. (we won!) These chaps had to sing a traditional Finnish song to the bride. Photo Copyright: Kimmi Piggott |
 |
| Games for the kids (and Kimmi) to play whilst the grownups could catch up. |
 |
| Every wedding usually has an extremely cute child there to entertain. Meet Charlotte, the Groom's Niece. We LOVED her shoes, and so did she! Photo Copyright: Kimmi Piggott |
