This is how the story begins...With Kirsty and Dwayne, a couple marrying at the rejuvenated and contemporary styled dairy farm of Southend Barns, close to the infamous Witterings beaches. Set back in the beautiful countryside close to Chichester these lovingly restored barns, which still retain bags of rustic charm, were full to the brim with delightful decor and details that personalised the space in a array of creative and fun ways. The theme of this wedding was largely characterised by the stunning setting and summer feel and whilst the weather was warm and mild, the sky was an unusual shade of white. Like a blank canvas it perfectly enhanced Kirsty’s pastel pink motif for the day and the contrasting greenery of the ground’s lush manicured lawns and gardens. This bride and groom had made every effort to keep their guests happy at all times; their thoughtful attention to detail ensured that they had a thoroughly relaxed gathering of all ages, entertained from start to finish!
