They opted for a \u201cclean\u201d colour palette of whites and greens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are a very laid-back couple so we wanted the day to be chilled and just have fun,\u201d smiles Ashleigh. \u201cThat\u2019s exactly what we did. We had our very own tractor ride, which our guests took full advantage of, and fire pits with marshmallows to toast in the evening.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her advice for other brides and grooms-to-be is to stick to your guns, invest in a great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/articles\/look-good-in-wedding-photos\/\">photographer<\/a> and videographer and make sure you get a few minutes alone as husband and wife! \u201cPeople still talk about our wedding as one of the best they\u2019ve been to,\u201d recalls Ashleigh.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Lorna Newman Photography\"
