My Best Friend's Wedding


I am so excited to share this post from my best friend’s wedding with you all. It was the most wonderful day full of laughter, smiles and happy tears.
Kerry and her lovely fella Sam got hitched at Rivervale Barn in Yateley, Hampshire; the perfect venue for their ‘shabby chic meets vintage’ wedding. With 7 bridesmaids, 2 flower girls, 2 best men and 6 ushers; Kerry and Sam were well accompanied. The bride chose to wear the most beautiful ivory lace dress featuring a deep V-neckline and even deeper V backline. I know I am biased, but she really did look incredible.
Soft mint hues featured heavily throughout, from the bridesmaid’s dresses and usher’s ties, to the hanging heart table favours, floral and checked bunting, and of course the wedding cake – which was adorned with cream roses and gipsofila, and trimmed with string pearls and pretty lace.
The weather was gorgeous; sunny and warm, and the barn itself was beautiful, with large green grounds and a courtyard where most people congregated.
Extra touches were left all over the venue, making the day even more memorable. These included a basket of flip flops for the females to change into when needed, a pick ‘n’ mix’ sweetie table, and a personalised Instagram chalk board with the hashtag #MrandMrsPilkington.
The photography was provided by local company Lilybean, along with a photo booth full of props – a firm favourite at any wedding. As always, I took hundreds of photos throughout their special day. Below are just some of my favourites.
