A LOCAL LOVE STORY

Raegan and Jack Robson married on 1st October 2021 at Saxon Barn in Leonard Stanley, Gloucestershire.

Raegan and Jack met when she started working for his mum. “Jack used to visit the office to see his mum and we caught each other’s eye,” Raegan tells us. The couple became engaged during a trip to Vienna to celebrate her birthday. “It was a big surprise when Jack popped the question in a beautiful park, about an hour after we had landed!” Raegan says.

SETTING THE SCENE

Saxon Barn was the natural choice of wedding venue for the couple because it’s situated on their good friends’ farm. “It’s a converted barn with a high ceiling that offers a rustic-inspired setting,” Raegan says. “The local church is located just behind it and, along with the pond on the farm and the beautiful fields surrounding it, it was the perfect place to host a relaxed day which is what we wanted. We enjoyed canapés by the pond in the sunshine and then walked through the picturesque orchard to the marquee, where the sun set behind us. The marquee was covered in festoon lighting which lit up the field all evening and looked so romantic.” The couple styled their day with plenty of white flowers and greenery that complimented the surrounding scenery.

LOOKING THE PART

Raegan wore an ivory satin backless dress with a high neck from the White Rose collection. “I knew that I wanted something stylish and simple and I fell in love with this gown straight away,” she tells us. “I teamed it with a two-tier veil, a hair comb and a pair of drop earrings.”

Jack and his groomsmen wore green tweed jackets with beige chinos and grey bow ties with brown shoes. “Jack chose a different waistcoat to his groomsmen,” Raegan explains.

TIME TO CELEBRATE

Raegan and Jack hired a duo of acoustic singers to perform during the drinks reception. “Their full band joined them for the evening entertainment which was a big hit with our guests,” Raegan says. “The dancefloor was packed until the end of the night creating such a happy celebration!”
