WWW readers Jennie and Alan had a cute eclectic wedding which was super personal.

They married in the summer in a wonderful light cafe; the Three Sisters Bake. I so love the bright and fun décor Jennie and Alan used, from origami hearts to stripy straws and bunting.

Jennie looked lovely in her polka dot tea length dress and Irregular Choice shoes while her favourite girls donned flowing teal wrap dresses. I love the rose bouquets, VW camper and just how involved their son was in their day.

Thanks so much to the wonderful Struve Photography for sharing their images with us today.

Our music was actually left quite late on, despite us both being quite opinionated! I walked down the aisle to Cat Power's cover of 'Sea of Love'; for the signing, we had The Beatles 'Two of Us', and for walking back down the aisle we had The Cure's 'Friday I'm In Love'. Our first dance was to The Zombies 'This Will Be Our Year'. During the meal, we had an iPod playing with a mixture of Cairns String Quartet and Vitamin String Quartet covers, which I still love! Our DJs were Glasgow based Pin Up Nights. They were absolutely fantastic; they played a fantastic mix of music which everyone commented on. They were also kind enough to play Gangnam Style for the kids, who got up to dance on the stage!

We had lots of little bits and pieces that caught my eye. We hired bunting and fairy lights from the venue to decorate our hall, as well as a black & white room divider for the ceremony - they all looked amazing. We also hired hurricane lamps and ivy for the staircase.

I borrowed photographs of weddings from our families and made copies of them, and had these on the windowsills around the room. We bought little lanterns from Ikea, which we used during the ceremony to line the aisle, and were then moved to the windowsills, along with little jam jars of flowers.

For our name tags, we bought origami paper hearts from a seller on Folksy. Alan stamped our guests' names onto tags, which we attached to the hearts. I bought stripy paper straws as I loved them! Our tables were decorated with jam jars and bottles with flowers, and the top table had a vase with a lily. Our favours were candles from Cancer Research for the female guests and little miniature bottles of whisky for the male guests. I bought each child a canvas bag with their name on it, and put in little bits and pieces like a bag of sweets and a little chalkboard game - I got most of these bits from Notonthehighstreet.

We bought our invitations and table plan from a seller on Folksy, who was brilliant and so, so patient - especially with me being so last minute with everything.

We bought our best man an engraved hip flask to say thank you. For our bridesmaids, I made up a box with little bits and pieces like a dressing gown, a mirror and little hip flasks. We bought James a little "Thank You" print and a box of Lego, which kept him busy all morning when we were getting ready! For our flower girl (my little cousin Lily) we bought a little star wand for her to carry down the aisle and a necklace.
