Tammy & Nettie's Civil Partnership | A Shabby Chic Wedding | Sopley Mill, Christchurch

Tammy & Nettie got married on the 8th September 2010 at the riverside venue Sopley Mill, a beautiful 19th century mill near Christchurch. Sopley Mill has rustic charm and is a friendly venue- perfect for relaxed country weddings! This peaceful retreat over looking water-meadows was the perfect spot for Tammy & Nettie's wedding ceremony and reception.

Tammy & Nettie had a 'Shabby Chic' theme and made many of the items for the wedding themselves as well as having plenty of fun scouting around charity shops to find trinkets for their table decorations. A lot of hard work had gone in to making games and personalised gifts for their friends and family. With teapots and jam jars full of sweets and puzzles laid out on the tables the guests were amazed at how beautiful the reception room had been decorated. Our favourites at reception were the Wishing Tree, where Netty & Tammy had left messages of love and invited friends and family to leave some tips and advise for happy marriage and an old recipe book, which the couple had adapted with 'The Family Recipe of Love'.
