Old Kent Barn Wedding<\/em><\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

After 7 years together whilst on holiday in Crete<\/strong> (our first proper holiday as a couple), Marcus took me down to the beach and got down on one knee just the 2 of us.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

we wanted our wedding to be suited to us, neither me or Marcus are big summer people so decided that autumn<\/strong> was the best time for us.<\/p>\n

We took a few aspects of what we love and combined them all, autumnal colours, nature, music<\/strong> and of course our dog Bailey. We also didn’t want a ‘large’ crowd at our wedding so decided a maximum of 50-day guests worked perfectly for us.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

The Old Kent Barn<\/strong>. As soon as we walked into The Old Kent Barn Marcus looked at me and said this is it. I don’t think we could of asked for a better wedding venue and the team were amazing. We could not fault a single thing!<\/p>\n

The Styling & Decor<\/h3>\n

Flowers & Decor<\/strong>: Chic Weddings & Events – listen to me ramble about my dream flowers and made them come true.<\/p>\n

Cake<\/strong>: The Cake Witch – we didn’t want the standard ‘white’ wedding cake and Nicola did a perfect job of making our woodland wedding cake dreams come true.<\/p>\n

Canopy Trees<\/strong>: Light of my Life – I don’t think our wedding ceremony would of been as magical as it had been without our beautiful trees, they tie everything together.<\/p>\n

Signs\/Calligraphy<\/strong>: Boards by Jess – Jess is amazing! I have never seen someone make writing look so beautiful, she helped our table name dreams come true!<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

Lily: I went to The Bridal Boutique of Jules<\/strong> for my wedding dress after seeing amazing reviews about Jeska and her team. Most important for me with my dress was comfort and ease. I didn’t want to feel like I was weighed down by my dress.<\/p>\n

The designer is Rembo Styling<\/strong>, my day shoes were Charlotte Mills and in the evening I changed into Vans.<\/p>\n

Marcus: Marcus went to a local tailor in Tunbridge Wells called Hardman & Hemming<\/strong>. We went through different fabrics and styles and decided on a navy suit with a check going though and a burnt orange waistcoat.<\/p>\n

His shoes were from Office<\/strong> and his bowtie was from Dickie Bows<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
