Scott & Jason got married in early Autumn at Pangdean Barn just on the outskirts of Brighton on a gorgeous sunny day, which quickly turned to a rainy day! The great thing about a lot of barn venues is that they have licences for outdoor weddings as well as indoor. Pangdean Barn is always prepared for whatever weather may arrive – expected or unexpected! We were all set up outside but then moved indoors in the end. It is just as gorgeous indoors with their magical feeling twinkly fairy lights and lanterns with candles in, it’s lovely and cosy.

These guys were such a treat to work with, they completely trusted me to choose and work with the seasonal flowers that I thought were best. I worked within a colour palette they chose and then had a great time with my lovely local grower here in Sussex choosing some beautiful dahlias, garden roses, amaranthus, caledula, rudbeckia, ammi, hawthorn berries, snowberries and some eucalyptus. From further afield we used spray roses, lisianthus, craspedia, alstromeria and crocosmia.

The below photos were kindly shared by Scott and Jason and were taken by Artasia Weddings.

Below are some pictures I took on the day before we moved the ceremony indoors. I love this colour palette, it’s such a nice transition time of year as it’s still warm but you are getting the autumn shades coming through too.

Thank you Scott and Jason for allowing me to be part of your day!

Pangdean Barn Foliage Garlands

Autumn wedding flowers are a joy to work on! I loved working with this late summer/early Autumn colour palette of oranges, mustard yellows and plenty of textured foliages. Desiree and James organised their whole wedding at Pangdean Barn via email as they are based in New York. We worked from pictures and talked through ideas and finally met when they were over much closer to the wedding date. I often work with couples who live far away or can’t meet up for one reason or another – this is when Pinterest really comes in handy!

Desi and James were so lovely to work with, in fact I even met up with them for a coffee when I happened to be over in New York the following month! The whole wedding had such a laid back vibe and their wedding style really reflected that, with lovely textured garlands of foliage placed down the centre of long banquet style tables the whole look really suited the barn. Looking over the professional photos by Paul Read Photography there was so much love, laughter and happiness throughout the whole day.
