Imagine planning your whole wedding, only to have to RE-PLAN it all just four days before!

Less than a week to go and the couple found out their venue wasn't ready to host them. They quickly jumped into action and managed to rearrange the whole thing.

They wanted their wedding to reflect all these things that they love; running, London, pie, Haribo and gorgeous friends.

Sally and Nick wanted their wedding to lean itself towards people dressing up and so they went for a vintage Rock n Roll theme with some unique tattoo twists. The bride even wore a tattooed wedding dress made for her by The Couture Company!
