Nicki Macfarlane is best known for designing the fairytale bridesmaid and flower girl dresses for that wedding. Yes the W-day of the century, that of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. She’s also the woman behind Poppy Delevigne’s flower girl and page boy creations from her wedding last week to James Cook, as well as a whole host of other fabulous society and celebrity weddings.

I met Nicki a couple of months ago when I was also fortunate enough to see her exquisite designs up close and personal. Since then I’ve quizzed her about how she was chosen for Kate and William’s big day, how she developed her business from zero to 60 (pretty much immediately!) and how she lets off steam…

“Take the time to make the ceremony really meaningful; go beyond the template to something that truly represents your spiritual and personal beliefs.”

That’s the brilliant advice from today’s couple who built in a lot of personal elements, unique to their lives and relationship to create a truly meaningful and memorable, pure and sacred wedding ceremony.

Elliot is a rabbi and Abby is a writer with musical background and together they worked in a lot of spiritual, literary, and musical touches. Their whole W-day was a truly handcrafted affair and the creative couple beavered away on several projects to create their charming mid-century woodland wedding… the exquisite home-made jam favours that doubled up as table numbers, the fifties-style dress, the handmade wedding programs, the challah and cake, the privacy tent (more on that later). Almost every detail was created by Abby, Elliot, or one of their talented family and friends. There was even an appointed ‘decor captain’ so that their woodland theme permeated effortlessly throughout!

Both Abby and Elliot report on their wedding and they have a gorgeous set of images from Miki Vargas that truly capture the emotions and spirit of their day.
