This wedding party was made up of the traditional groomsmen in matching outfits, the best girls in pale blue bridesmaid dresses and more unusually, the beloved pets of our gorgeous couple! Lyra the labrador and Spencer the horse were the VIP guests, groomed to perfection and adorned in blush florals, with Lyra even having a staring role in the ceremony. The outdoor-loving couple fell in love with the rustic feel of Odo’s Barn wedding venue in Kent, with it’s exposed beams and high ceilings, there was a sense of bringing the outdoors in! The DIY decor, including the seating plan, paper peonies and favours, had all been lovingly made by the bride and groom themselves and their families. All these beautiful details and moments were captured by one of our favourite photographers WE ARE // THE CLARKES, who you can find on our list of handpicked suppliers!
WHT MADE OUR DAY UNIQUE
“I think the addition of our furry family made our day really special and a bit different to others. We had our black labrador, Lyra walk down the aisle before me and sit in church throughout the ceremony. After we were married and making our way across the field to the Barn for the reception, my horse Spencer greeted us and our guests and we had some amazing photos taken with them both and as a family!” – Rachel & Richard
Pale Blue Bridesmaid Dresses
The pale blue bridesmaids dresses and blush pastel flowers perfectly complemented the rustic charm of the Kent wedding venue and of course the stunning bride. The Martina Liana wedding dress with lace strap details, button back and beautiful train was paired with some silver embellished heels and a half up half down hairstyle, topped off with a blush flower hairpiece to match her beloved four-legged guests!
INSPIRATION & STYLING
“We lead a very outdoors lifestyle and the Bride especially spends the majority of her time in her Hunters in muddy fields with Lyra and Spencer. So we wanted to make sure that our outdoors lifestyle was reflected at our wedding and holding the Reception in such a beautiful, rustic and original Barn certainly ensured that. The addition of the animals as special guests, hay bales, views and sharing food bought that alive. All of the decor, tables, favours, menu board, seating plan etc were very in keeping in the barn vibe and the majority of the styling was made by us by hand.” – Rachel & Richard
