For Chris and Alice, their spring wedding day in ADD LOCATION was all about kicking back and soaking up every moment! They wanted a celebration where everyone felt totally at ease and could just mingle and enjoy themselves – no strict schedules here! After saying their "I dos" at the church, the party hopped over to a local field with the most amazing hilltop views, where a spacious wedding marquee was all set up and ready for some fun.

What really made their day them? The food, hands down! Instead of the usual formal dinner, Chris and Alice went for a fantastic food truck lineup with a whopping nine different delicious options – talk about wedding catering choices! And when it came to dessert, who doesn't love an ice cream van rolling up? As the evening went on under the marquee lights, they even had a "make your own pizza" station – how fun is that?

The super chill vibe wasn't just about the food, though. With no assigned seating in the marquee or out in the field, guests could just wander around, catch up with each other, and find their comfiest spot. It was a day for everyone to truly relax and enjoy the beautiful setting and tasty food at their own pace. As Chris and Alice put it, "It was the perfect day and everyone is still talking about the food and feeling of the day!"

Speaking of the happy couple and their awesome style, Alice looked absolutely radiant in her sleek white dress with those gorgeous floral details – such a timeless pick! And her natural, textured bouquet was just perfect. Chris and his guys looked so sharp in their light beige suits, and those blue and green ties were a really stylish little touch that totally fit the relaxed but put-together feel of the day. The bridesmaids looked so lovely in their flowy, silvery-blue dresses, which just tied in beautifully with the whole chic and easygoing vibe of Chris and Alice's spring wedding celebration.

Looking back at their fun, relaxed spring wedding, Chris and Alice had some great wedding planning advice for other couples: "It’s ok to do something different, everyone will love it no matter what you do." They also really emphasised how important it is to find suppliers who are genuinely enthusiastic and helpful. "If you aren’t getting the answers you want from a supplier during your enquiry stage don’t be afraid to look for a new one, they should be doing everything they can for you as a client and to please you, if they aren’t doing it now they probably won’t do it in the day."

So, a wedding gift list wasn't even on Chris and Alice's radar at first – making them think, "Do I need a wedding registry?". But after some gentle nudges from their family, setting up their list was a piece of cake for the couple, and it totally showed off their love for adventure – their honeymoon fund was a big hit! As Alice said, "We love to explore, and having the honeymoon pot was a great option for us, and why we chose Prezola." And for their guests, especially the older crowd, it was super straightforward. "Another reason for having our gift list was the older generation of our guests," they shared. "The process had to be straightforward and easy to work out. The link straight to our gift list and easy selection and checkout process mean we didn’t have any questions from relatives when it didn’t work." Win-win!

The couple loved how simple Prezola was to use and the great range of suppliers available, meaning they could pick out things they'd actually use. "The gift list itself was simple and easy, with a great choice of suppliers, meaning we could pick a couple of those that are actually useful to us, other than some bedsheets or towels."

"It’s been great using all of our Prezola gift and sending pictures to the people that brought them for us," Alice shared, adding that their gifts have even sparked a super sweet weekly tradition. "Making good food is one of our favourite things to do when we get time together, deciding whose idea sounds more tasty and making it has been a weekly joy and connection point of our married life so far — our wedding gifts have definitely inspired the food ideas."
