Bride and groom laughing at their wedding at the Mill Barns, Alveley, Shropshire

Gabby and Kyle had their February wedding at the Mill Barns in Alveley, near Bridgnorth in Shropshire, and I’m not sure I’ve seen a bride laugh so much as Gabby did on her big day! Gabby chose the most stunning gown with a huge beaded train and long veil to match, and Kyle looked very dapper in his bowtie (I love it when grooms choose bowties!). When paired with a classic boutonniere and bridal bouquet of white roses these two simply oozed elegance! The barns had been beautifully decorated by Perfectly Unique Occasions to complement the couple’s style, with plenty of candles and foliage.

After their civil ceremony under a floral archway inside the barn, the couple enjoyed the unexpected late winter sunshine while mingling with their guests out on the terrace overlooking the mill pond. A short stroll through the venue’s lovely gardens gave us some beautiful photo opportunities for couples portraits, before the pair returned to their friends and family to share some anecdotes during the lively and heartfelt speeches.
