Laura and Thomas chose The Kingscote Barn for their wedding in the countryside with a grey and navy colour palette.

 

Laura and Thomas first met through friends and became engaged five years later in a surprise proposal in Palma, Majorca. “Tom asked me to marry him on the terrace in our hotel room, which was a total surprise!” Laura tells us.

The couple fell in love with their big-day setting at first sight. “We had four viewings at different barns booked over the course of a weekend and The Kingscote Barn was the first one that we saw,” Laura tells us. “We reserved a date there and then before viewing the remaining venues because we loved it so much!”

Here, she tells us more about their quintessential Cotswold wedding that had a grey and navy colour palette…

It was love at first sight with our venue!

We gave our florist free reign with the brief for our blooms and they did a fantastic job using options in our chosen colour theme.

Our centrepieces were tall martini glass vases filled with flowers.

Our plants in hanging glass baubles looked so unusual and different.

We had an elegant grey three-tiered cake with a marble effect. Each tier was a different flavour.

Our table names were numbers and Thomas' dad made us our hand-written place names.

We had a 'find your face, find your place' idea for our table plan.

Thomas wore a navy suit with a grey waistcoat, claret-coloured tie and a pocket handkerchief.

My dress was by Modeca. I loved the fitted style of it and the detail down the back. I accessorised it with a pair of simple stud diamond earrings and a bracelet.

Our dimmable fairylights looked amazing in the main barn and bar area.

We entertained our guests with a live band called The Chip Shop Boys who sung a mix of songs from the 1960s through to the present day. Everyone thought they were great and they kept the dancefloor full all night.

Our bridesmaids wore chic grey full-length pleated dresses.

Readers' poll

 

Would you let your bridesmaids choose their own dresses?

 

They need to be comfortable - Absolutely yes.

 

I have a style I want in mind so, no.

 

I will take their opinion into consideration when making final decisions.
