Alongside a network of friends and family, the pair pulled together all of their resources from seating to teepees, food to lighting and everything in between.
"A friend and event planner said to me that the more casual you want the wedding to be, the more planning you will need." Sarah says. "My advice is to accept all the help you can get; people love to feel needed. Let people in, listen to their ideas and utilise their strengths. People jumped at the chance to help us and it was amazing to see all their talents come together in the weeks leading up."
