Bysshe Court is a beautiful barn venue located on a working dairy farm just over Sussex’s northern border into Surrey. With character in droves the concept behind this shoot was to showcase this and capture its authenticity – “without going all-out rustic,” wedding planner, Lisa Evans of Taylored Weddings says. With a team of Sussex-based wedding suppliers Lisa set out to show how a venue that one might usually see decorated in lace, bunting and hessian could keep its rustic undertones, while being transformed with a lux finish. The gorgeous drape design formed the perfect backdrop to both the ceremony and wedding breakfast and the earthy, pastel colours flowed throughout into the table styling, attire and accessories. The team wanted to show how much fun a wedding day can be as well as demonstrating how you can utilise the natural surroundings and décor in all aspects of the celebrations. Lisa says, “Thankfully on shoot day the sun was shining and the animals were on form. Listening to the cows moo reminded us that we were deep in the countryside, which was fabulous. There were a few hiccups in the run up and fixing the floral installation to the ceiling was no easy task, but working with such a devoted and talented group of local suppliers meant any challenge was overcome.” Demonstrating that a barn venue doesn’t necessarily need to mean rustic styling, this team of Sussex-based professionals created a shoot steeped in luxury Images courtesy of Craig Payne Photography and Jo Ellen Pictures | Video courtesy of Jordan Mansfield Weddings LUX Country All images on this page courtesy of https://joellenpictures.co.uk 50
