Oh, what a delight it is to be sharing The Love Shack <\/a>wedding of Stacey and Adam. Their plans changed considerably from a large wedding of 120 guests to their intimate micro wedding for 6. And it’s wonderful to hear that they are really pleased they opted for a small wedding and wouldn’t change a thing<\/em>.<\/p>\n

I’m not surprised though as their day was divine. Set in the Cheshire<\/a> countryside and woodland, they had a sweet ceremony flanked by a flower arch. Following they had a picnic feast outdoors with the most darling table set up in pink and grey complete with a pressed flower cake. Of course, Stacey and Adam both looked stunning and everything from the flowers to the stationery was really elegant and stylish.<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to Natalie Coultas Photography for sharing with us these gorgeous shots of a very happy celebration at The Love Shack.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

We got engaged during a 2 week trip around Italy<\/strong> in 2019.<\/p>\n

Adam got down on one knee on a bridge in Venice<\/strong> on the second day of our trip after we\u2019d had a wonderful day exploring the wonders of Venice and enjoying music and drinks in St Marks Square.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Our initial vision for our wedding was very different<\/strong> to the one we had due to Covid. Initially, we were planning a barn-style wedding with 120 guests in York. We were going to have lots of outdoor games and an Easter egg hunt as we were due to get married Easter weekend.<\/p>\n

After 2 cancellations and 2 more years, we scrapped this original wedding plan<\/strong> as we just wanted to be married and the guest numbers were still not allowed for our original plans.<\/p>\n

We found a beautiful venue that opened recently for weddings in Chester \u2013 The Love Shack. The venue specialised in elopements and micro weddings and looked stunning. We fell in love and started planning a wedding for 6 guests<\/strong>, with all the things we wanted that we couldn\u2019t afford in the original wedding – beautiful flowers, picnic-style catering and a venue stylist.<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

Our wedding’s original budget was around \u00a320,000,<\/strong> however, our beautiful micro wedding<\/a> ended up costing considerably less<\/strong> and allowed us to have all the amazing things that we wanted.<\/p>\n

We spent around \u00a36,000<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
