Looking at photos from the themed 1960s wedding of Demelza and Andy is like stepping back in time. The couple got married at their local town hall and took care of as many of the wedding details themselves as they possibly could. Andy took the time to design a custom font for their names and had a stamp made—each of the 130 invites were stamped by hand. Demelza is quite crafty too, as proven by the alterations she made to her Valentino wedding dress, which included adding a bow and a train. The hands-on bride also made the mod blue bridesmaid gowns, which all vary slightly in style.
Although a lot of the wedding's details were taken put together by couple and their friends, they did splurge on a live band for the event. The stunning photos that capture the wedding day were shot by PhotoMadly.
