What Made Our Day Unique
We’re guessing most couples don’t change venue five days before their wedding!? What made our wedding unique was that despite the venue disaster, it ended up being completely perfect anyway. We had planned to use a working barn at Freddie’s family farm but due to water damage the weekend before the wedding, we were left without a usable venue. The stars seemed to align for us and we found a beautiful local barn venue that had had a cancellation. Our wedding was very DIY, with a mixture of handmade signage, vintage finds and an abundance of garden flowers.
Inspiration & Styling
We wanted a relaxed, whimsical and personal vibe for our wedding day that suited the family farm venue (although we didn’t end up using Freddie’s family barn, the final venue was still a family-run farm that hired out one barn, so it was perfect!). I love vintage, rustic and boho styles and wanted to combine them all in our wedding. There were moments during the planning process that I was worried it might not all work together, but in the end, it united to create a fun, eclectic style that reflected our personalities. There were lots of details to our wedding – some small, like the handmade napkins with monogramming, and some bigger statement pieces, like the gin bar antique dresser and ladder flower installation hanging above the top table. I am also obsessed with flowers and put them wherever I could!
