Happy Festoon Lit Bashall Barn Wedding & Multicolour Flowers

Oh, what a delight it is to be sharing the Bashall Barn wedding of Mark and Becki held in the autumn in Lancashire. Their day was all kinds of colourful and happy, with bright multicolour florals and the most beautiful barn wedding decor ever. Think festoon lights, colourful candles and all the autumn wedding flowers. Swoon!

From the stylish outfits to the cheese tower wedding cake and all the love, this day is sure to leave you with a smile.

Rachel Kenyon, I can’t thank you enough for sharing these fantastically beautiful and joyous images with us.

Bashall Barn Wedding

The Proposal

We went on our traditional Garstang walk; Mark proposed at the famous castle and then we ventured down the high street to choose the ring at the local jewellers.

The Vision

Lots of colour with a rustic/traditional edge. Happy, relaxed atmosphere, together with family and friends.

Budget

We blew it.

The Venue

Chipping Congregational Church and Bashall Barn.

The Ceremony & Music

Bride entrance song – The Pogues, Love you till the end.
Exit Song – Florence and the machine, You’ve got the Love.

Your Outfits

Bride – Love Story Bridal

At Love Story, I tried on a number of dresses, however, none of which felt ‘the one’. After leaving my initial appointment disheartened to not find my dress, I decided to book a second with them as the staff there were really friendly and helped me feel so relaxed about the situation and listened to what I’d envisioned, covering all aspects of styles of dresses.

Groom – Slaters Menswear – Mark had been there before and liked it.

The Styling & Decor

Cake – The Crafty Cheeseman
Flowers – The Flower Shop by Morgan – bouquets and buttonholes
Venue Decoration – Flowers & The Moon / Bashall Barn
