Romantic Rustic Charm: Katy & Matt’s Wedding at Stretton Manor Barn
There is something so effortlessly beautiful about a wedding that feels warm, welcoming, and full of personality – and Katy & Matt’s celebration at Stretton Manor Barn captured exactly that. With a soft blush pink colour palette, rustic textures, and thoughtful personal touches, it was a day that radiated love and joy from start to finish.
Photographed beautifully by Fly on the Wall Photography, their wedding was the perfect blend of timeless elegance and relaxed countryside charm. Every detail felt intentional and full of heart – from the romantic ceremony setup to the laughter-filled wedding breakfast that followed.

The ceremony took place inside the light-filled barn, where we styled a wooden backdrop draped with blush pink and white fabrics, creating a soft and romantic frame for their vows. The registrar’s table featured a delicate blush pink table runner, adding just the right touch of colour to tie the look together. The combination of natural wood, soft fabric, and gentle tones created a timeless and romantic atmosphere.
We love how Katy’s bridesmaids wore blush pink dresses that perfectly complemented the groom’s matching tie, bringing the entire colour palette to life. The couple’s styling choices balanced femininity with rustic charm – the kind of look that never goes out of style.

After the ceremony, the space was transformed for the wedding breakfast, with sustainability in mind. The ceremony arch and backdrop were reused as a beautiful focal point behind the top table (a sweetheart table for the couple), giving the space continuity and making the most of every design element. We always love this approach – reusing key styling pieces not only reduces waste but also ensures your favourite styling details are part of every moment of the day.
The dining tables were kept simple yet full of character, with dried flowers in bud vases creating a soft, natural look that echoed the rustic setting. Each guest found a scratch card and a wedding newspaper at their place – a brilliant personal touch that brought plenty of fun and conversation to the tables.
The white chair sashes, each tied with a simple pink ribbon, added a subtle nod to the blush theme without overwhelming the space. It was a lovely detail that tied everything together and kept the styling cohesive throughout the day.
Katy & Matt’s wedding is a perfect example of how thoughtful wedding styling can transform a rustic barn into something timeless and personal. The mix of soft blush tones, simple details, and sustainable choices created a day that felt relaxed, elegant, and completely theirs.
