chilled and bohemian ceremony.<\/p>\n<p>But time restraints and cost hurdles saw the pair settle for something less grand, but more personal and relaxed than they could have imagined. \u201cMy parents kindly offered us the garden and gave us a complete blank canvas to work with,\u201d says Sarah of the Northampton property. &#8220;Fortunately, we had a beautiful starting point, so we only wanted to enhance this we more greenery, and<a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/articles\/wedding-flower-trends-2019\/\"> flowers<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pair worked hard to create many handmade touches at their relaxed garden wedding. \u201cIt was important that our wedding was personal and told our story,\u201d the bride says. \u201cThe house held so much history for myself and Joe and being at home I had the luxury to add touches that we may not have been able to do in a venue.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As they both really love their food and music, they were priorities on the day. \u201cWe also wanted our wedding to be as long possible as you only get to do it once,\u201d smiles Sarah.<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a href=\"http:\/\/mockford.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener
