Freya & Connor’s wedding at Maidens Barn in Essex was a fun and vibrant celebration with a tropical twist. Their outdoor ceremony took place in the Birch Garden—a first for me at Maidens Barn, which made the day extra special. The bright colours of the bridesmaids and the bird of paradise flowers as the floral centerpiece added a pop of tropical vibrancy to the day.

Steel drum music set the tone for the reception, giving the entire event a laid-back, island feel. And of course, the sun was shining throughout, making it the perfect day for an outdoor ceremony and garden games.

One of my favourite parts of the day was Freya & Connor’s joint speech. It’s always great to see couples put their own spin on traditional wedding elements, and their speech was personal, funny, and completely them.

As the evening kicked off, Freya & Connor got their guests involved with garden games and karaoke (such a great idea!). And, of course, Freya had a dress change to ensure she could party the night away
