ZPJ Love Stories - Fliss & Tom

I was lucky enough to attend Fliss & Toms' wedding, a very special ceremony in the garden of her parents' home followed by an incredible night with a raging dance floor in the marquee later on.

Fliss told us a bit about the process of bringing to life all the ZPJ pieces for their special day...

"Seeing the designs come to life was so exciting. Being able to work with Zoë on the designs made the process so relaxed, fun and easy. It is also so special that one of our friends made our rings for us! I also had tie pins made for Tom, my dad and brother, with their initials engraved on them. I was also very lucky to be surprised with a beautiful ZPJ necklace from my bridesmaids to wear on my wedding day."

Fliss's engagement ring used an existing oval diamond Tom had sourced and we set it in a lovely simple 18ct yellow gold setting and band. Her wedding band was a little more intricate with a cluster of different diamonds set to fit around her engagement ring, again set in 18ct yellow gold. Tom went for a timeless silver comfort fit band.

"I was completely overwhelmed with my engagement ring, simple but a classic, it is perfect! Zoë worked with me to help design the wedding band, I was so incredibly happy when I saw it for the first time, it complements the engagement ring perfectly." - Fliss

"I love that Tom spent time carefully selecting the perfect diamond for my engagement ring, it makes it all the more special knowing he put a lot thought and love into it." - Fliss

After attending Fliss' hen's do at her family farm, I really wondered how the wedding could top it (the hen's do was complete with a bouncy castle!!!) - but the whole wedding weekend was so much fun, with a ‘day after’ of games and drinks as well!

"One of our favourite moments was while we were taking sunset photos looking back at all our friends and family in the marquee talking, laughing and having a good time. Knowing they were all their to celebrate us was so special! And of course the party and dancing to follow." - Fliss
