Welcome to the gorgeous Hall Farm Events<\/a> wedding of Jack and Emily in Suffolk<\/a>! Their day was packed full of their personality and they created their day on a \u00a310,000 budget. How amazing is that?<\/p>\n

Being vegan, it was important for them to have a vegan wedding<\/a>. They also added lots of DIY wedding decor<\/a>, with upcycled and handmade items. Plus their outfits were gorgeous! I love Emily’s original 1970s vintage wedding dress, as well as Jack’s cool mix-and-match attire. Didn’t they look incredible<\/em>?<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to WWW wedding supplier fave, Thyme Lane Photography<\/a> for sharing these sensational shots with us.<\/p>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Jack proposed in the Maldives<\/strong> (a place that\u2019s very special to Emily as she visited many times with her family as a child). I left it quite late to decide I was going to propose (the holiday was already booked). This left me with only a few weeks to find, purchase and pick up the ring before hiding it in the case.<\/p>\n

I waited until sunset<\/strong> on the 3rd night of the holiday to do it. Emily was conveniently swinging on a ring-shaped swing on the beach as the sun disappeared behind the horizon. I asked her to turn around and I was on one knee. The rest is history as they say!<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

Our vision was to create a wedding that was reflective of both our personalities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Something fun, that oozed creativity and also an opportunity to prove to our guests that you don\u2019t miss out on anything at a fully vegan wedding<\/strong>. Ultimately, we wanted to get all our friends and family together who hadn\u2019t seen each other for a couple of years to have fun, drink, dance and celebrate our love!<\/p>\n

Budget<\/h3>\n

Originally we were looking to keep things as cheap as possible but after the postponements, we decided to loosen our belts a bit. \u00a310k<\/strong> was our estimate and ended up costing around that amount.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

The venue was Hall Farm Barn<\/strong> in Wordwell, Bury St Edmunds. A hidden gem in the Suffolk countryside. You walk into the rustic barn (perfect space for our ceremony). It then opens up the other side to a marquee, which overlooks the edge of Kings forest.<\/p>\n

We loved that it was basically a blank canvas<\/strong> for us to decorate. We loved how nice and attentive Sarah and Mike were (venue owners).<\/p>\n

The Ceremony & Music<\/h3>\n

We booked a celebrant for the ceremony (Anthony Dowling), so that we could personalise aspects whilst keeping others more traditional. We were keen on keeping it relatively short, but more insightful and captivating than a standard ceremony. We also wrote our own vows<\/strong>, which were a struggle to read without getting emotional! There were a few tears.<\/p>\n

Me and Emily are big fans of the Lumineers and other bohemian rock\/indie music<\/strong> such as Feist, Florence and the Machine, Of Monsters and Men among others. This featured throughout the day and was played through speakers in the barn. It perfectly complemented the venue and vibe of the whole day.<\/p>\n

Emily is also a big Twihard<\/strong> (Twilight fan). The aisle music was a song featured in the movies.<\/p>\n
