A Colourful DIY Wedding with Pom Poms, Disco Balls and a Two-Piece Dress // Clock Barn

Featured


Oh Kirsty… flippin’ flip. YOU. ARE. INCREDIBLE.
We’ve gone through the photos SO MANY TIMES. We’ve laughed, we’ve cried and we’ve smiled the entire time. Words honestly wouldn’t do the work you’ve done justice.

Colour. Laughter. Heart. This day had all three from start to finish.

Charlie and Hannah are two of the kindest people you could meet- the sort of couple who make everyone feel welcome within minutes. By the end of the day, it felt like I was hanging out with a massive group of friends.

These two met at school. They grew up together, and their wedding felt like a celebration of that story, not just a day.

Clock Barn was the perfect backdrop. Relaxed. Open. Full of space for people to be themselves.
What stood out straight away:

  • Pom pom bunting everywhere
  • Disco balls catching the light
  • Stacks of books woven into the styling
  • Personal banners made by hand by Hannah
  • A sweetheart table that kept things calm and intimate
  • Colour used with confidence, not caution

Nothing felt staged. Nothing felt done for show. Every choice had meaning.

The atmosphere was full of loud laughter during the speeches. The kind that catches you off guard and spills across the room. There were happy tears during long hugs. The sort that comes from feeling safe, seen, and surrounded by your people.

Friends showed up fully. Present, supportive, and ready to celebrate every moment.

Family wrapped everyone in warmth. It felt steady, generous, and constant all day long.

I laughed. I cried. I cried from laughing.

Charlie and Hannah were completely present. Up for anything. Trusting. Open.
That trust shows in the photos every time.

Why this day worked so well:

They did things their way
They focused on people, not rules
They cared about how it felt, not how it looked online

That’s where the magic lives.

Charlie and Hannah, thank you for choosing me.
Thank you for the trust. Thank you for the energy. You are absolute stars.
