We got married in Spain, and had some bespoke tiles made for our wedding, which we used as favours. I then had an outdoor table made using the leftover bespoke tiles, which I gave to my husband as a belated wedding present. The tiles were hand-painted in Seville by Tania Terranova, a seller I found on Etsy, and the table was made by The Moroccan Encaustic Tile Company, who sourced the extra tiles and had the table made for me in Morocco.
Tiles, From £50
Table, £350
