The Tythe Barn
Bicester
Is it even autumn without a wedding at The Tythe Barn?! Honestly, this place is just as beautiful all year round, but there's something about it in autumn that holds a very special place in our hearts. The gorgeous trees, the cosy interiors, the fire burners and all those warm, golden tones. It's just a big old YES from us!
And Alex and Basak's wedding was the perfect reminder of exactly why we love it so much. A beautiful fusion of Turkish meets British, with the most gorgeous mix of colours, textures, food and thoughtful details.
The flowers by The Flower Story were a gorgeous mix of vibrant oranges, sunshine yellows, deep burgundies, rich pinks and softer tones, all working together in the most beautiful way. There was such a lovely variety of flowers and textures, and the display in the church was just stunning. The bouquets were equally as gorgeous, adding the perfect pop of colour against Basak's beautiful Allure Bridal Aurora dress. Such a gorgeous look and one that fitted the day perfectly.
The cake had to be one of the most show-stopping wedding cakes we've seen in a long time! We absolutely loved the shape, the detailing and the way Rachel had incorporated the flowers and fruit into the display. It was almost too pretty to eat. Almost… the flavor was sticky toffee pudding! We mean, come on!
The styling throughout The Tythe Barn was just as lovely. Beautiful fruit displays, candles, rugs and all those little finishing touches that brought everything together so effortlessly. It all tied in perfectly with the character of the venue, adding to that cosy, rustic feel without losing any of the colour or personality. We loved how everything felt considered but not overly done. Just the right amount of everything!
And, of course, a wedding isn't complete without a good party! With accordionist James Frederick bringing some extra musical magic and Paper Kisses taking over for the evening celebrations, we can only imagine the dance floor was in very good hands!
A huge thank you to Alex and Basak for having us along to capture your day. It was such a pleasure, and we're still thinking about that cake!
Personal Highlight:
Oh, the first dance has to be our personal highlight! It started off so beautifully, with Alex and Basak sharing a romantic, perfectly co-ordinated first dance. All very lovely and romantic… until a surprise Halay broke out just moments later! Suddenly the dance floor was filled, the napkins were flying and everyone was joining in. What a way to kick off the evening celebrations!
