Zara and Tom’s Wedding Day
Zara and Tom’s wedding day was as vibrant and full of life as they are. The couple styled their day with simple yet stunning details that matched the barn’s rustic-meets-modern vibe. Think soft whites, natural greenery, and pops of warm gold accents, it was the perfect mix of cozy and elegant.
Zara wore a strapless white dress with a flowing veil that seemed to catch every breeze, so timeless and graceful. Tom looked dashing in his green suit with a matching tie, which was such a refreshing choice. Together, they looked like they’d stepped straight out of a wedding magazine!
The Ceremony Barn
The ceremony took place in the smaller barn, which was transformed into a romantic haven with delicate floral arrangements and soft lighting. Zara walked down the aisle to smiles, happy tears, and one of the sweetest looks I’ve ever seen on a groom’s face.
After their heartfelt vows, the couple made their way into the courtyard for a confetti-filled exit. The wind added a little drama to the moment, scattering petals everywhere—it was pure magic.
The Party: A Reception to Remember
The reception kicked off in the larger barn, which was decked out in fairy lights and long rustic tables brimming with candles and greenery. Guests enjoyed a delicious meal, followed by heartfelt speeches that had everyone laughing and tearing up in equal measure. Zara’s dad absolutely nailed his speech, he had everyone in stitches!
There was a gorgeous tiered wedding cake that looked almost too good to eat (but trust me, it didn’t last long). Family group shots were taken outside before the real party began. The DJ got everyone on the dance floor, and Tom’s groomsmen even busted out some questionable moves, absolutely hilarious!
Couples Photoshoot: Windy and Wonderful
After the speeches, Zara and Tom snuck away with me for a quick photoshoot around the venue. The wind was definitely making itself known, but honestly, it added such a fun, playful vibe to the photos. Zara’s veil seemed to have a life of its own, and the way these two laughed through it all just made the pictures even more special.
We explored the grounds, from the charming courtyard to the open fields. The golden hour light breaking through the clouds? Chef’s kiss.
