Nay & Richard
The Tythe Barn
Bicester
Back at the beautiful Tythe Barn again and I am there a couple more times yet before the season is out. This is absolutely not a complaint though, the team, the venue, the vibe is always a total treat.
Naomi started the day getting ready with her lovely ladies, and she had a great team making sure she looked incredible, Hannah Addis working her magic on hair and Kirsty Louise on makeup. Before the big reveal, her gorgeous boys popped in for a first look with mum, and honestly I challenge anyone to get through that moment without tearing up! Heart melted!
The ceremony itself was full of love, laughter, and one very big fan club – for the boys! Honestly, they stole the show, and everyone in the room was just as obsessed with them as they were with Nay and Rich. Confetti? Who needs it when you’ve got a bubble machine firing out magical light orbs everywhere? It was the magic and it turns out grown adults get just excited about bubble machines as the kids!
Drinks on the lawn after the “I do’s” gave everyone a chance to soak up the atmosphere and the occasional bit of sunshine, the classic British weather couldn’t decide if it wanted to bless us or test us, but hey, we made the most of both! Guests were kept entertained whether they were indoors dodging the drizzle or out in the sunshine thanks to Spencer Wood Magic and saxophonist extraordinaire Kyri Shionis. Pair that with Absolute Taste’s unreal canapés and fizz, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for happy guests.
The barn styling was beautiful as always. Loads of lush foliage and gorgeous blooms from Joanna Carter Flowers made the space look like a total dream, and of course everything ran seamlessly thanks to the organisational wizard Dani at Acorn & Oak. The tables looked stunning, and Nay & Rich’s idea for table numbers, using photos of themselves at each age was just brilliant, such a fun little detail that had everyone smiling.
Then came the wedding breakfast entrance… and wow. Forget a polite round of applause, this was full-on stadium gig energy! The crowd went wild, and it was the perfect kick-off to a night of food, laughter, and dancing.
Personal Highlight:
The chemistry between Nay & Rich. Honestly, who says love fizzles after kids?! These two were so into each other all day and it was just gorgeous to see.
