They decided early on to celebrate two wedding days: a formal ceremony with close loved ones and a more relaxed farm wedding with 200 people. The big party was on July 29, 2018 in Somerset. \u201cThe easier decision was that we wanted our informal ceremony at the family farm,\u201d says the bride. \u201cWe were looking for a place we could have a celebration where we could have an open bar and people could camp for free.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>When planning the day, Amy says the couple \u201cbroke every rule there is\u201d when it came to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.easyweddings.co.uk\/planning-tools\/budget-calculator\/\">budgeting<\/a>. \u201cWe tried to have a system, but spreadsheets are really not our strong point,\u201d she laughs. \u201cThere are a lot of expenses with having a ceremony on the family farm that you wouldn\u2019t get with a professional venue, like toilets, generators, tables and chairs, and even laying a chalk floor in the main barn.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Amy says they were very lucky everyone pitched in to help. \u201cWithout the kindness of our friends and family, our wedding would have been a lot more expensive.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Photos courtesy of <a title=\"Andrew George Photography\" href=\"https:\/\/andrewgeorgephotography.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Andrew George Photography<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-127817\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amy_Ned_Farm-Wedding_Andrew-George-Photography_003.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-127816\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amy_Ned_Farm-Wedding_Andrew-George-Photography_002.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-127815\" src=\"https:\/\/content.easyweddings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Amy_Ned_Farm-Wedding_Andrew-George-Photography_001.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" title=\"\"><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Don\u2019t spend time on the day worrying about perfect photos or staged group shots,&#8221;
