As an ‘On the Day’ wedding co-ordinator I am generally booked by couples who are planning a D.I.Y wedding. When choosing the D.I.Y option it means you have the freedom to create whatever you like, which is why I love to share ideas that can be achieved when you put your creative head on.
With the shoot planned for just after hay baling season Barry and Nicola offered us as many bales as we needed, as well as providing us with two huge hay bales to use as a backdrop.
...we were going to build as many wedding props as possible out of hay and straw bales to create that Farm-Fest wedding vibe!
Between Lucy and I we contacted some fabulous wedding suppliers who were all keen to collaborate and bring our vision to life.
Several straw bales, a scaffold plank and stunning flowers arranged by Nia from Luvshifting Flowers should hopefully inspire you to do something different on your wedding day.
Our models Abbie and George show our straw bale arch off perfectly...
After your ceremony you will definitely need a drink and there is no-one more perfect than the lovely Jan to pour it for you (or in this case George!).
Once your ceremony is over transform your arch into a photo-booth frame just like we did with this wonderful door frame from Gayles Wedding & Events Prop Hire.
Gayle and Michael supplied all the fabulous rustic props for our shoot...
Abbie and George needed a bit of practice!
...this is generally used to keep drinks cool, but we put Abbie in it!
...to make our straw sofa and table seating less scratchy on their legs,
...which can be used for anything but they made great flower pots for Nia,
...which we used as a wedding breakfast table with straw bale seating,
Beer or Abbie?...anything goes when it comes to Farm-Fest!
Abbie’s dresses were just to die for and you won’t believe me when I say Zaneta Burnett Designs whipped them both up from scratch in only ONE WEEK! I was thrilled when Zaneta stepped in to join us on our shoot and when she said she could possibly make two dresses we were like...
With a beautiful bride it was important to have a dapper groom and George fitted that bill!
Wearing two different three piece suits with a mix of accessories all from Charles Gale Formal Wear Hire, George looked fabulously...
To finish the look off we stuck them both on a tractor that Barry had left us in the field and ‘Voila’...the perfect ‘It’s a Good Life’ wedding setting!
These amazing bridal boots were designed and supplied by Sarah at Wedding Converse, a fabulous alternative and comfier option for bridal footwear.
True to form Nia from Luvshifting Flowers arranged these beauties, with Orchids, Sweet William, Allium, Lilac Fern and Foxgloves, to name just a few.
...but by using the straw bales Carol created this fantastic table-plan. Incorporating Gayle's milk churns and decorating them with flowers from Nia it looked just perfect for our Farm-Fest theme.
You can imagine how thrilled we all were when our shoot featured on 'Unconventional Wedding'. It is such a great feeling to see the whole teams hard work go live on a wedding blog and of course we do love to receive a badge!
This is what makes our photo-shoots so much fun. I mean what’s not to love about getting creative with fellow wedding suppliers and two pygmy goats in the great outdoors?
