Best moment: “One of my favourite moments was releasing the doves at the end of the ceremony,” says Ashley. “It was a last minute decision and a surprise for all our guests, and everyone really loved it. Of course dancing the night away was an awesome part of the day as well.”

Favourite detail: “I loved all the DIY elements we had,” explains Ashley. “We made our own photo booth, which was a total hit during the reception.”

Wedding song: “Just a Kiss” by Lady Antebellum. “I let my husband pick the song as I wasn’t fussy, and he picked this song because that was how he felt when we first started dating, and he said it fit perfectly,” says Ashley.
