After much searching around we found Blithfield Lakeside Barns, which had the most amazing stunning views.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">They married at their rustic festival wedding on June 30, 2018 with 120 guests. \u201cAs Blithfield Lakeside Barns was not a licensed wedding venue, we decided to have our legal marriage at a registry office which fell on a Friday, and then our wedding day at Blithfield on the Saturday,\u201d explains the bride.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\">Sarah says her parents\u2019 garage became a wedding d\u00e9cor warehouse in the lead up to the day, filled with online purchases! \u201cWe decorated the whole venue ourselves with the help of our family and friends \u2013 it was amazing to use all our family and friend\u2019s talents for our wedding which really helped cut down the costs but also made it that extra special.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Daniel McClane Photography\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dmcclane.com\/\"
