In this episode of Yes to I Do, host Lydia Wakefield is joined by Coton House Farm’s coordination team, Louisa, Meg and Maggie, to explore how couples can personalise their wedding without feeling tied to tradition. From playful themes (Jurassic Park, Disney, car marques and even Land Rover paint colours) to rethinking seating, speeches and the evening flow, the team share practical ways to make the day unmistakably you.
Key Takeaways
Personalisation > tradition: Couples are leaning into unique touches, themed table names, photo “memory lane” walkways, and letting different voices give speeches, to reflect their story.
Pups & personality: Dogs are making appearances everywhere, ring bearers, napkins, table numbers and cake décor, adding charm and laughter.
Flexible formats work: Coton’s relaxed Twilight Package (street-food vibes, chilled timings) shows you can skip formalities and still have a seamless, joy-filled day.
Rethink seating & layout: Consider a round “top table”, long trestles with the couple in the middle, or even an alphabetical seating chart listing guests with their table numbers.
Mindset matters: Don’t let social media pressure you into “more”. A smooth timeline, chosen traditions, and happy guests are what people remember most.
Key Moments
“People are really bringing their spin on things… moving away a little bit from traditions.”
“You don’t necessarily have to [do the top table] that way… do your own thing.”
“Our Twilight Package is very relaxed… more in touch with a lot of people’s visions now.”
“Don’t put too much pressure on yourself… you’re different anyway because no two weddings are the same.”
