The National Wedding Industry Awards are held annually to recognise and reward excellence in the Wedding Industry. As the UK Wedding Industry is not regulated it's a great way to find quality suppliers as Brides nominate in each category and winners are picked by a panel of expert wedding industry judges, based on customer testimonials.

The stars came to Somerset this weekend when Hollywood actress Carey Mulligan married her singer fiance Marcus Mumford of  Mumford and Sons. Reports show that the couple chose to marry in the barn and in a marquee at a private farm that is owned by Carey's family.

                            

The Bride is said to have worn Versace and had eight bridesmaids in turquoise gowns. Celebrity guests have been named as Colin Firth, Sienna Miller and Jake Gylennhall. It has also been claimed that singer Adele sang for the couple at Marcus' request.

If you'd like your own A-list barn style wedding there are lots of stunning barn and farm locations locally such as Priston Mill, Wick Barn Farm and Kingscote Barn. Check out our rustic barn theme for inspiration on how to have a relaxed but stylish big day like Carey.

A while ago I promised you some gorgeous winter weddings. Well, you're in for a treat with this beauty, courtesy of the Little Wedding Helper, who styled the day. The lovely Bride & Groom were Ellen & Neil Sanders who tied the knot at Westbury-On-Trym Parish Church before heading to the fantastic Kingscote Barn for their winter themed reception.



Although it was Christmas the couple opted for colours of purple, teal & green, which look stunning. A special mention also for the Brides shoes, which I am reliably informed are the exact same shoes that Carrie wore at her Wedding to Big.

Kingscote Barn sits in a gorgeous rural location close to Wotton-Under-Edge and Tetbury surrounded by fields and country lanes. The barn was originally part of the farm that also occupies the land and it was specifically converted to become a venue for Weddings, conferences and events.


                                           


There is also accommodation on site where the smaller surrounding barns have also been converted, meaning plenty of room for the bridal party to stay.


                                          

The barn really does combine the best of modern and traditional with original stone and oak combined with a light and airy feel. Kingscote Barn provides you with an onsite Events Manager to coordinate your day and thought they do not have a restaurant on site, they offer you a choice of four caterers giving you plenty of choice for your big day.
