For someone who wasn\u2019t sure she wanted to be married, Sophie Philpott sure threw an amazing wedding.<\/p>\n

She\u00a0and beau Daniel Thompson, aged 26 and 32 respectively, married at their boho<\/a> vintage wedding on April 23, 2016. The Tamworth couple couldn\u2019t find anything locally that suited their needs, but The Old Barn in Devon, 200-plus miles away, was exactly what they were searching for. \u201cI’d never really thought about getting married before, but straight away we knew that we wanted a bit of a different wedding,\u201d explains Sophie. \u201cThe Old Barn was advertised as a DIY venue<\/a> \u2013 providing the opportunity to decorate the entire venue ourselves, arrange our own caterer and entertainment<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

And that they did! The couple worked hard organising absolutely everything, including a catering<\/a> option with a difference. \u201cWe had a wedding picnic served in individual floral suitcases with luggage tag labels with each guest’s name on,\u201d explains the bride.<\/p>\n

But not content with just putting their own stamp on the day, Sophie and Danny wanted a surprise\u00a0for their guests. \u201cInstead of waiting around for the room to be rejigged for the evening after the meal, we treated our guests to an hour-and-a-half of bumper cars!\u201d smiles Sophie.<\/p>\n

Sophie wore a teardrop diamond necklace that\u00a0had been in the family for years. “It was presented to me on my 21st\u00a0birthday and I saved it for the big day, so it was both my ‘something old’ and my ‘something new’,” says the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“If our wedding venue itself wasn’t amazing enough, we had our couples photoshoot down on the beach at Clovelly,” explains Sophie.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Everything was very informal so our family and friends arranged the table flowers,” says the bride.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

“The photobooth<\/a> was made by us with fancy dress hats and accessories\u00a0we already owned, and a curtain of lights which we had made,” smiles the bride.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
