High fives to Sam and Ade who had the most awesome Low Hall The Lakes<\/a> wedding in the Lake District<\/a>. First up, they tied the knot in a beautiful woodland wedding ceremony<\/a> before they headed to the barns to celebrate.<\/p>\n

I love how family-friendly their celebrations were and all the younger wedding party members looked so adorable in their sweet outfits. Then there were the pretty pink flowers throughout; the bouquets, flower crown and ceremony flower arch looked so lovely.<\/p>\n

They kept the details and decor simple, instead, they rocked gorgeous attire and focused on a fun, comfortable day that ditched elements such as a wedding table plan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Maddie Farris Photography<\/a> was there to capture all the smiles and every little moment just perfectly. Thanks, Maddie for sharing with us these brilliant captures.<\/p>\n

Low Hall The Lakes Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Being a big Lionel Richie fan, we went to Scarborough open-air theatre with some friends. Ade tapped me on the shoulder during my favourite song<\/strong> (Penny Lover). The crowd had created a circle around him and he was on one knee.<\/p>\n

We had only been dating for 6 months<\/strong> at the time.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

We knew we didn\u2019t want anything too formal. We wanted our friends and family just to come and have fun<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We feel that seating plans and such were unnecessary stress. We just wanted something relaxed and comfortable<\/strong> and hopefully outdoors.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

We knew we wanted something picturesque and I couldn\u2019t think of better views than the lakes. I found this new wedding venue called Low Hall the Lakes<\/strong> and I just instantly fell in love.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t quite finished when we visited but I could see all the potential and nothing compared to it. Guests were asking me how I found something so beautiful.<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

My wedding dress is by Suzanne Neville<\/strong> and I got it from Perfect Daze<\/strong> in Scissett.<\/p>\n

I knew I had to try on lots of dresses to make sure it was the right one. But this was the first one I tried on and I compared every other dress to it, so I know it was the one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The groom and groomsmen\u2019s outfits were from Next<\/strong>. They didn\u2019t want anything too fancy and comfortable for the day.<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

The ceremony was held in the woodland<\/strong> behind the cottage we were staying.<\/p>\n

We wrote our own vows<\/a>, which proved to be tear jerkers.<\/p>\n

I walked down the aisle to Jason Wade – You Belong To Me<\/strong> (from Shrek) because it was one of the first songs Ade played and sang to me on guitar. The amazing band we had was the \u201cSouth West Band\u201d they were so accommodating and their range was outstanding. People still ask us about this band almost a year later.<\/p>\n

Your Photographer<\/h3>\n

Our photographer was the excellent Maddie Farris. Excellent with everyone and so easy to talk to. She made us feel comfortable<\/strong> and we knew we were in excellent hands.<\/p>\n

Maddie knew how to catch each precious moment without it looking staged.<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

All decorations apart from the flowers, fairy lights and table cloths. The rest were just little things we picked up from charity shops and social media<\/strong> sites.<\/p>\n

Memorable Moments<\/h3>\n

Oh which ones to choose? Ade and I had wager on who could make the other cry<\/strong> during our vows and for a moment, when Ade started to well up, I forgot everyone was there and kind of shouted \u201coh ho! I win!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

Or in the photo of us laughing and walking in a field, we had just invented a game<\/strong> that involved throwing cow pats at children and seeing if they could avoid them.<\/p>\n

The Honeymoon<\/h3>\n

We are going to Punta Cana<\/strong> next week (26 weeks later) due to travel restrictions and such. We plan on reading and swimming in the sea. Just a nice laid-back honeymoon.<\/p>\n

Advice For Other Couples<\/h3>\n

Do what you want to do<\/strong>, not what other people \u201csuggest\u201d just to please them.<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to invite your in-law’s old next-door neighbours because \u201cPat & John are like family<\/em>\u201d\u2026.then don\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Ahh so stunning!<\/p>\n
