WWW readers Faye and Dave’s retro rustic barn wedding<\/strong> was an absolute dream! They were wed at Healey Barn<\/a> in Northumberland<\/a> on a wonderful spring day.<\/p>\n

I love how their wedding had an old Hollywood glamour feel, with Faye looking radiant in her 50s-inspired look and Dave rocking a tweed check suit. Their table stationery was ever so stylish and I love the retro Cadillac wedding car, just epic<\/em>.<\/p>\n

From the gorgeous flowers to the candid moments, Paul Santos Photography<\/a> was there to capture it all in authentic style. Thanks so much to Paul for sharing with us these tremendous shots of one very fabulous celebration.<\/p>\n

After visiting the house, we went down to its gardens overlooking the lake. We sat on a bench to admire the views and that\u2019s when it happened. Afterwards, we wandered down to the caf\u00e9 to enjoy a sticky toffee pudding. It felt like our little secret that we\u2019d just got engaged!<\/p>\n

The ultimate goal was to have fun<\/strong> and for our wedding to feel authentically \u2018us\u2019. We wanted it to feel relaxed, but also magical in the right places, so it was about striking that balance.<\/p>\n
