Do you dream of getting married in the countryside? If so then the English countryside is the perfect setting for a romantic wedding and in London, South farm you could either get married outside in the enchanting Summer House or indoors at the Tudor Barn. You will be able to host an intimate wedding from 10 guests to larger weddings of up to 140! South farm is truly a distinctive wedding venue and offers you and your guests to stay in Romany Caravans, family suites and en-suite double bedrooms in the restored granaries, to camping in tents or caravans in the camping paddock. If you’re interested in this venue then visit http://www.south-farm.co.uk/

For a classic country wedding reception there is nothing better to offer your guests than cucumber sandwiches, scones with Devon clotted cream and strawberries served on vintage plates in an old fashioned canvas marquee. To help to create a relaxed and informal atmosphere for your guests decorate the tables with vintage china, food and magnificent table centres of fragrant, colourful home-grown garden flowers. Also, while you’re off having photos taken it would be a great idea to serve your guests Pimms and arrange for them to play croquet to pass the time especially if you’re getting married in the summer season.\nHopefully these country inspired wedding ideas will help you to make your big day even more special and personalised. So start hanging the fairy lights in the trees, hire the live band and find the perfect vintage dress to help you and your big day feel country chic!
