Our blog post this month is dedicated to special moments. Weddings are full of them (obvs!) so we want to celebrate, not just the first looks, first kisses and first dances, but the funny, spine-tingly, heart-fuzzying, smile-making intimate moments. Enjoy!
Catering for your wedding guests can be a delicious but stressful minefield. Deciding on whether to serve a three-course wedding breakfast or a belt-busting all-you-can-eat buffet is only half the quandary. Depending on what time of day you get married, can mean the difference between one or two (or sometimes even more) servings of food.
Traditionally, a symbol of fertility and prosperity, with the top tier saved for the christening of a wedded couple’s first born, the humble wedding cake is now a whole lot more then ever before!
Today’s beautiful wedding, which was held at The Great Barn Devon over the Easter weekend, just goes to show that, even when the weather doesn’t want to play, the show will most definitely go on.
For this month’s Great and Good feature, we’ve decided to dedicate it to some of our favourite bridal blogs. They are bursting at the seams with wedding inspiration, helpful advice and tonnes & tonnes of real brides and grooms, and are a regular stopover for a lot of our couples. And you can see why …
When you book your wedding at The Great Barn Devon, we give you a full weekend to totally relax and take in every, single moment of your special celebration. Our beautiful, cosy cottages are the perfect place to pamper yourself the night before, to prepare at leisure the morning of your big day and sleep in late, the morning after.
Because we are nestled in 120 acres of idyllic Devon countryside, we think your wedding guests should have the chance to enjoy the full weekend too and so, we are offering the use of our fields behind the Barn, for glamping or festival style accommodation galore!
Pastels come and go, but are a huge wedding trend this season and, we don’t think they are going anywhere again for quite a while. There are some, simply stunning, pastel elements you can bring into your wedding day; small things that will add a subtle touch of femininity … or why not go all out and shout PASTELS from the rooftops!!
In other news, we are absolutely thrilled to share with you, our brand new baby – The Great Event. Here you can search for unique and unusual handpicked finds, that are perfect for styling your wedding, party or any celebration. From trestle tables to vintage chairs, from candle holders to linen napkins, from barrels for beers to buckets for ice. We would LOVE for you to pop on over and have a look. And if you know someone who is looking for furniture and accessories with a vintage twist, tell them about us!
