WWW readers Alex and Mel are with us this fine Friday and they are treating us to their delightful real wedding<\/a> story. They were wed on the 18th August 2018 and held their beautiful barn reception at High Billinghurst Farm<\/a> in Surrey<\/a>. There really is no better way to end the week than with a pretty barn wedding, filled with peach and purple flowers all round. The bouquets really were so lovely and the fireplace flower installation using swathes of greenery really did make quite the statement, just beautiful! They had lots of other gorgeous touches in the barns such as a tassel garland, terrarium centrepieces, greenery on the backs of chairs and a foliage adorned seating plan. Also keep your eyes peeled for the magnificent chocolate naked cake, which really looked amazing and by the sounds of it, tasted just as good as it looked.<\/p>\n

The outfits were all super<\/em> stylish, garden games were played on the lawn, live music entertained come evening and Mac and Cheese was served too, yum!<\/p>\n

The relaxed, romantic and fun vibes were all captured just wonderfully by Larissa Joice Photography<\/a> and we are just so thankful to be sharing them with you today.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Alex proposed to me on Christmas Eve 2016 at a place called Newlands Corner in Surrey, which has beautiful views of the Surrey Hills. It was so exciting getting engaged over Christmas as we had a good couple of weeks celebrating with our friends and family!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We wanted to have a really relaxed and informal day. I was also very keen to create lots of personal touches to really make the day our own.<\/p>\n

The Planning Process<\/h3>\n

We weren\u2019t really sure about where we wanted to get married so spent a lot of time looking at different wedding venues in both London and Surrey. We finally found a venue that we both loved. Once we had a date locked, everything else fell into place. We were engaged for about 18 months, so had more than enough time to arrange everything!<\/p>\n

The Readings & Music<\/h3>\n

I walked down the aisle to Songbird by Fleetwood Mac \u2013 one of our favourite tracks!<\/p>\n

Alex\u2019s dad chose a biblical reading and my friend wrote her own, which was themed around how Alex and I met. It was a real hit!<\/p>\n

Your Outfits & Accessories<\/h3>\n

It took a while for me to choose my wedding dress as I found the whole experience quite overwhelming. In the end, I chose a beautiful dress from Sanyukta Shrestha. I wanted something that was romantic, floaty and would make me feel completely comfortable all day long!<\/p>\n

I wanted a pair of wedding shoes that I would wear again. I ordered my shoes from Faber Novella \u2013 I loved the colours and they were very comfortable too.<\/p>\n

Alex had his suit made at a London tailors called Beggar\u2019s Run. Great quality and the service was excellent. It was a modern alternative to the very traditional Saville Row tailors.<\/p>\n

The Details & D\u00e9cor<\/h3>\n

We worked with Devine Bride who helped us run the day, ensuring that everything ran to time and without hiccups. Laura was amazing to work with \u2013 super helpful and professional at all times! Whilst we did the majority of the set up the day before, Laura made sure everything was in place on the morning of the wedding.<\/p>\n
