Two Day Village Hall Wedding with DIY Decor

What Made Our Day Unique

A wedding weekend! We both wanted an intimate wedding ceremony and we fell in love with a secluded fort which we discovered on a dog walk in the County where we live, Rutland. As such, we had a small ceremony on Friday with our close family and friends, concluding the evening with an exquisite meal at a nearby gastropub. The next day, hand in hand, we repeated our wedding vows in front of a packed church of friends; we then walked to the village hall next door, enjoyed drinks on the lawn in the sunshine, and partied into the night.

Inspiration & Styling

Simon’s connections in the drink and hospitality business made it an easy decision to organise the wedding ourselves, from helping to build the bar in the village hall, to cutting and sanding old Two Bird’s spirit bottles to make flower vases. Our invitations and large poster at the back of the hall were designed by Simon’s friend who is also part of the Two Bird’s family. The design was based on the Glastonbury Festival logo; we went to the festival soon after we got engaged and we are excited to be going again in a few weeks!
