WWW readers Stacey and James are spreading the colour and joy through their dreamy Bassmead Manor Barns<\/strong><\/a> wedding<\/strong> story in Cambridgeshire<\/a> today. And I am so here for it!<\/p>\n

Their day was packed full of personality, fun, colourful style and smiles all round. They chose to incorporate their favourite colours, green and orange into the outfits. Plus they used tones of pink, red and gold alongside monochrome touches to represent their relationship. The results were stunning<\/em>.<\/p>\n

From the boho-style cake to the dreamy flowers, tassels, modern stationery and barn setting, it was all really gorgeous. A bold and romantic day indeed.<\/p>\n

Thanks ever so much to Two-D Photography<\/a> for sharing with us such beautiful images that clearly show how much joy there really was all day long.<\/p>\n

Stacey and James on WWW<\/h4>\n

WWW was one of the many platforms\/sites I followed during the planning process. I loved the features of \u2018REAL\u2019 weddings and taking inspiration from a design, colour, theme and wedding collective, perspective.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Bassmead Manor Barns Wedding<\/h2>\n

The Proposal<\/h3>\n

Very laid back \u2013 I (Stacey) didn\u2019t want a \u201cproposal\u201d, I don\u2019t like that whole Prince Charming getting down on one knee, vibe. I wanted it to be a joint decision<\/strong> – something we both wanted.<\/p>\n

So it was a conversation whilst watching Big Bang Theory.<\/p>\n

The Vision<\/h3>\n

J didn\u2019t have much input on this (he\u2019s happy to go with the flow) and largely trusted me. We\u2019re not very traditional. I wanted it to match our personalities<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

It had to be boho, whimsical. Rich in colour and vibrant<\/strong>, relaxed yet full of energy. I wanted it to come alive with the addition of colour and styling. Stationery had to be monochrome \u2013 a nod to us as a couple (ying\/yang). I wanted pampas and tassels, crocheted bunting to elevate the style along with the vibrant floral displays.<\/p>\n

The Venue<\/h3>\n

Bassmead Manor Barns<\/strong> \u2013 the only venue we looked at. J said \u201cit couldn\u2019t be any more perfect<\/em>\u201d (he\u2019s a carpenter\/cabinet maker by trade, and LOVED the barn), so I ran with it!<\/p>\n

Your Outfits<\/h3>\n

My dress was two different dresses brought together \u2013 Harlow (topper) and Winona (dress), both Shikoba Bride<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

I had to have tassels but also wanted pockets on my dress. I wanted a skirt with room and a longer train, the Harlow skirt was too restricting for me. I wore DM sandals<\/strong> \u2013 I wanted to wear them again and didn\u2019t see the point in wearing heels, they\u2019re just not comfortable. I purchased my \u2018something blue<\/a>\u2019 from eBay<\/strong> \u2013 a vintage blue leather jacket.<\/p>\n

James wanted a relaxed suit so avoided a jacket and opted for an ASOS<\/strong> green waistcoat and trouser 2-piece and t-shirt, with Converse<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Our fave colors are green and orange, hence the dresses\/suits. For me = the guys in green and the ladies in their mixed-style dresses represented flowers; each of us are different in style and bring something unique to the table.<\/p>\n

Our daughters also wore white DM sandals, I wanted to add snippets of continuity throughout the whole day.<\/p>\n

James made his own wooden wedding ring and I designed my wedding ring with the talented Max at Fields Jewellery<\/strong>. I told him I wanted black and white stones to represent me &an James (ying\/yang) and 2 x gold elements to represent our girls \u2013 because they\u2019re worth their weight in gold.<\/p>\n
