We’re a little bit in love with this homespun, vintage feel, rustic wedding at The Ashes.
The Look
Kirsty and Adam got creative and hands-on with their wedding décor and called in favours from family and friends to make their super-relaxed rustic wedding a day they’ll always remember.
The bride was lucky enough to count a professional make-up artist amongst her friends, who offered to do bridal hair and make-up on the big day, which helped her stay relaxed and enjoy the atmosphere of nervous excitement as she got ready in The Old Dairy at The Ashes.
I think the boys nailed it!
I Do
There’s nothing like an emotional wedding ceremony to remind you what the day is all about…love.
Having poured over the photos of Kirsty and Adam’s ceremony I just want to hug them both!
Their sheer joy, the excitement of tying the knot, sharing the moment with their loved ones… just shines out of the photos.
Kirsty says “Adam was quite nervous, stood at the front waiting for me but I was just so super-excited and relaxed, I just couldn’t stop smiling.
‘it’s your day, make sure you have the time of your lives, you don’t need to worry about your guests having a good time, if they see you having a ball they’ll relax and enjoy every moment too.”
It was the perfect sentiment.
I’ll Have What She’s Having
Total foodies, Kirsty and Adam treated guests throughout the day.
“We loved being able to supply our own drinks, my Aunt and Uncle were so touched that we’d gone to the trouble of supplying some Theakstons Old Peculiar for them and the canapés were a total hit with guest during the drinks reception.”
“We chose dishes we’d never have gone for if we hadn’t tried them at the Experience Event; it was such a good night and really helped us make our minds up about the wedding menu”
Determined not to take themselves too seriously, Kirsty and Adam had a bit of fun with their table names, opting for quotes from their favourite movies; 1.21 Gigawatts anyone?
Eat Cake and Party
This charming rustic wedding at The Ashes was all about celebration, joy and having fun. We often advise couples that the easiest way to pack out your dancefloor is to lead by example and by the looks of it there was no way Kirsty and Adam were going to miss out on the fun!
They hired our recommended wedding DJs Sound Solutions and emailed them in advance with a short tracklist of songs they knew would get their friends jiggling. “The guys were brilliant, they kept the dancefloor packed all night and everyone had a blast.”
