\"Harefield<\/p>\n

You think of a barn wedding<\/a> and usually, you imagine rustic charm. But barn weddings can also be modern<\/a>, classic and chic, just as this Harefield Barn<\/a> wedding is I am featuring today.<\/p>\n

Emma and Steven were hitched on the 18th December 2020 and wanted a London meets Devon<\/a> wedding, which was traditional yet contemporary. Even though this wedding was held at Christmas<\/a>, it has a really sleek vibe with grey tones and greenery throughout. Simple touches such as the Christmas tree, crackers and bauble favours gave a gentle nod to the festive season.<\/p>\n

Emma and Steven looked amazing in their stylish attire as well as totally loved up and happy. It is so lovely to see. Jennifer Jane Photography<\/a> thank you so much for sharing these incredible captures with us.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Steven and I had been together for 10 years when he proposed. We are both from Devon and never met, we then went to the same University and didn\u2019t meet there either. On a random night out in Oceania, Kingston our eyes met across the light-up dance floor and the rest was history. Our special place is Polzeath, a place that brings back memories from our childhood and in October 2019 we went for our 10-year anniversary. It was a rainy cold day and we went for a disastrous WET walk (I think he planned to do it at the beach but I was very cold and moany!) so we went for lunch in the Oystercatcher. Over a glass of our favourite champagne and a bowl of cheesy chips he got down on one knee and made me the happiest drowned rat!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We wanted to mix our Devon routes with our London lifestyle. I am a very classic cut fan with a love for eucalyptus. Black tie was a must and so was Aperol Spitz! We actually won a competition, and they sponsored our wedding!<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

My dress was from Pronovias, from The Wedding Shop in Wimbledon. It was number 32 to try on and I had admired it on Instagram for a year but could never find it. I went to The Wedding Shop and it was the last one in stock. Meant to be! I wanted a classic cut but loved the very low neckline and buttons down the bottom (Pippa Middleton bridesmaid dress vibes!).<\/p>\n

I treated myself to the Carrie Bradshaw Manolo Blahnik\u2019s in grey to match the greys in our home and the autumnal tones of the wedding \u2013 I plan to continue wearing these on our anniversaries \u2013 \u2018an investment piece\u2019.<\/p>\n

Steve\u2019s Tux was from Thomas Pink, London \u2013 he wanted a velvet jacket and a traditional cut. He had more fittings than I did and probably spent more money on it than my dress.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

Due to Corona we were not allowed a band so my bridesmaid pulled together an incredible Spotify playlist, which suited Steve and I very well.<\/p>\n

First dance \u2013 Luther Vandross \u2013 Never Too Much (Steve swung me around the dancefloor of Oceana to it on our encounter!)<\/p>\n

Aisle Song \u2013 Ho Hey \u2013 The Lumineers<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n
