Upwaltham Barns Summer Wedding in Sussex with Drip Wedding Cake

What Made Our Day Unique

Our wedding was a family affair on one of the hottest days of the year. We felt so lucky to have guests travel from all corners of the globe to celebrate with us at Upwaltham Barns. The family focussed vibe extended throughout the day from suppliers to the family run venue itself. Chris' brother, the best man, James was in charge of 'branding', putting together everything from our save the dates to table menus. Our photographer was Ali Paul, Chris’s cousin, an incredible wedding photographer who we would have chosen regardless of him being family or not!

Inspiration & Styling

The Barns were so beautiful that little needed adding decor wise, but the pieces we did add helped create a romantic, yet rustic vibe. We chose a blush pink colour scheme that flowed beautifully throughout both barns at the venue with stunning flowers from Kerry from Rose Cottage Flowers. My inspiration mainly came from Pinterest. I’ve had a wedding board for years, long before Chris and I even got engaged. My friends always found it hilarious, but Chris knew about it and when it came to planning the wedding it really helped bring our vision together.
