This absolute dream countryside Silchester Farm wedding is so pretty with a rustic-luxe vibe. Kate and Nick also got to take their couple portraits with a glorious rainbow in the background! You definitely need to see those pictures taken by Recommended photographer, Annie Bradney Photography. Their autumnal wedding day was styled with lots of simple and natural decor and deep jewel tones. Plus, this couple sorted their gift list with Recommended supplier, Prezola.

To be honest, we didn't know where to start with suppliers! We were planning our wedding during the lockdown, so couldn't explore wedding exhibitions and things. We did a lot of inspiration searching online and found suppliers who matched our relaxed vibe, and whom we got along with! For food, we were very lucky that Silchester Farm partners with three great catering companies - so we chose from their supplier list after a lot of drool-worthy menu perusing.

Silchester Farm

Kate & Nick went for a rustic-luxe vibe to suit the relaxed feel they wanted. Silchester Farm captured this perfectly, by blending stunning countryside with a modern-rustic style. The setting was so gorgeous, the couple really didn't need to overdo it when it came to decor. They kept things simple with lots of eucalypti and deep, natural colour schemes to reflect the autumnal surroundings. Kate & Nick just wanted everyone to have an incredible time really, so food, drink and music were their priorities, over some of the smaller details. 

Relaxed Vibes

Kate & Nick were conscious that they didn't want to feel stressed when planning or on the day of the wedding. They went with simpler ideas they knew they could pull off well. The couple were carefree about most decisions and so were able to create a day where everyone could have fun! Their favourite moments of their day were when they had some quieter time. When it was just the two of them and they had some time alone to take it all in and enjoy the moment, before being welcomed again by so much love, smiles and dancing at Silchester Farm.

You'll have an incredible day together, so try not to stress over the small stuff - it fades into the background compared to the sheer happiness of the day! Also, do the planning together and make the day how you want it to be, without worrying about the pressure of other expectations - it's much more fun and means the day will really represent the both of you.
