The Bride: Elegance in a Pretty White Dress

Sarah’s bridal look was the epitome of elegance and sophistication. She found her dream gown at the renowned boutique Pretty White Dress, where the selection of exquisite bridal gowns made choosing the perfect dress an experience to remember. The dress Sarah chose was a true reflection of her personal style—classic yet modern, with intricate lace detailing and a silhouette that flattered her figure beautifully. The flowing skirt and delicate train added a touch of romance to the overall look, making Sarah feel like a princess as she walked down the aisle.

Her bridal look was completed with makeup by Cheshire Bridal Company, who enhanced Sarah’s natural beauty with a soft and radiant look. The makeup was expertly applied, with a focus on creating a flawless complexion and accentuating Sarah’s eyes with a subtle yet glamorous touch. The result was a look that was timeless and elegant, perfectly complementing the style of her dress.

The finishing touch to Sarah’s bridal ensemble was her hairstyle, crafted by the skilled hands at The Salon of Marple. Opting for a loose, romantic updo adorned with small, delicate flowers, the hairstyle perfectly suited the overall aesthetic of the day. The relaxed yet elegant look allowed Sarah to feel comfortable and confident, whether she was walking down the aisle or dancing the night away.

The Groom: Stylish and Sophisticated

Niall, looking every bit the dashing groom, opted for a stylish and sophisticated outfit that perfectly matched the relaxed elegance of the day. He chose a classic suit in a deep navy shade, paired with a crisp white shirt and a subtly patterned tie. The ensemble was both timeless and modern, allowing Niall to feel comfortable and confident while still looking incredibly polished.

His groomsmen wore suits in coordinating shades, creating a cohesive look that complemented the overall color scheme of the wedding. Together, they made a striking group, adding a touch of formal elegance to the otherwise rustic setting of Grange Barn.

The Ceremony: A Floral Dream

Wild Floral, the talented florist behind Sarah and Niall’s wedding flowers, brought the couple’s vision of a floral dream to life. The arrangements featured a stunning mix of seasonal blooms, including roses, peonies, and eucalyptus, in a palette of soft blush, ivory, and greenery. The ceremony space was transformed into a romantic oasis, with floral accents adorning the aisle and a breathtaking archway serving as the focal point.

Sarah’s bouquet was a work of art in itself—a hand-tied arrangement of fresh, fragrant flowers that added a pop of color against her white gown. The bouquet was designed to reflect the natural, organic feel of the day, with a mix of textures and shades that made it both visually striking and beautifully understated.

The Reception: A Celebration of Love

After the heartfelt ceremony, guests were invited to the reception area, where Grange Barn had been transformed into a cozy and welcoming space. The long banquet tables were dressed in crisp white linens and adorned with simple yet elegant floral arrangements, continuing the natural and romantic theme of the day. The warm glow of fairy lights and candles added to the ambiance, creating an intimate setting for the evening’s celebrations.

The catering, provided by Relish Catering, was a highlight of the reception.

For the main course, guests were treated to a variety of gourmet options. Relish Catering offered a choice of dishes that included a succulent roast chicken with seasonal vegetables, a tender beef fillet with a rich red wine jus, and a vegetarian option featuring a delicious mushroom and spinach Wellington. Each dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor, showcasing the culinary skills of the team at Relish Catering.

A Sweet Surprise: The Doughnut Wall

In lieu of a traditional wedding cake, Sarah and Niall opted for a fun and modern alternative—a doughnut wall. This unique and playful feature was a big hit with guests, offering a variety of delicious doughnuts in different flavors and toppings. The wall was not only a sweet treat but also a visually stunning focal point, decorated with fresh flowers and a charming “Love is Sweet” sign.

The doughnut wall added a touch of whimsy to the day and reflected the couple’s desire to create a wedding that was both memorable and fun. Guests loved the opportunity to choose their favorite flavors and enjoy a sweet snack while mingling and dancing.

The Estate Boys ran the bar, offering a selection of refreshing drinks and expertly crafted cocktails that kept the guests in high spirits throughout the evening. The friendly and professional team provided impeccable service, ensuring that everyone had their favorite drink in hand as they celebrated with the newlyweds.

As the evening progressed, the dance floor came alive, thanks to the musical talents of DJ Adam Carr. Known for his ability to read the crowd and keep the party going, Adam played a mix of classic hits and modern tunes that had everyone up and dancing. The barn was filled with laughter and joy as guests of all ages hit the dance floor, creating a lively and energetic atmosphere that lasted well into the night.

About Grange Barn

Grange Barn is a beautiful private location for rustic countryside weddings. Couples can get married in the bespoke indoor ceremony area or outside on the decking overlooking the spectacular views of the Cheshire countryside. For a church service, they are local to the beautiful Saint Michael’s Church of Marbury. There are also a handful of lovely churches all within a 5-10 minute drive from Grange Barn.

The farmhouse was built in 1858 and was originally a dairy farm with the barn being used for storing cattle. After the idea of creating a wedding venue, renovations began on the barn in January 2019, and they have maintained plenty of its original features. They have not altered the building structurally, maintaining the roof and the metal stanchions. They have re-purposed the huge (and iconic) barn doors, so as to keep the authenticity of the venue.
