A real break from tradition, this festival wedding showcased an abundance of hanging greenery, dream catcher favours, festoon and ribbon drape lighting, oversized letter lighting, paper flowers, food van, chill out area and fire bowl, using different materials such as denim, macrame, paper, wood and terracotta details.
See more images in our gallery and the amazing local suppliers who came together to make this shoot possible in this blog post.

“Just to say thanks once again for inviting us over to Cogges last Sunday.
The photos look great and we thought it was a really great way to organise a wedding fair, with all the products arranged as if it were an actual wedding and made it stand out from the fairs we have attended before.
If we can help out with anything in future or work together in any way please give us a shout.”

“Thanks so much for involving Mabel & Rose – I thought the whole event was brilliant – so well organised and the barn looked truly amazing.
I’m sure it will have given couples lots of ideas and the photographs are great.
Well done you – I hope you’ve given yourself a well deserved pat on the back and manage to get a bit of a rest before you move onto the next one!
Thanks again and yes, very much hope to work with you again in the future.”

“This is the best Wedding Open Day I’ve ever been to.
We loved the Wedding Open Day at Cogges today, it was an amazing collaboration of alternative suppliers and looked absolutely amazing and had a fantastic atmosphere!
It was so much more relaxed and welcoming than the usual wedding fayres that are held. I’m sure all involved and those that visited felt this too.
Congratulations for pulling it all together and the very best of luck with your blogs!”
