Congratulations Iona & Adam!

It was such a pleasure to host you both & your family and friends. A beautiful ceremony in the barn was accompanied by fantastic music and vocals from Mairi, before everyone headed outside to enjoy drinks on the terrace. The relaxed feel continued into the evening with delicious pizzas and cake.

From the moment we met Iona, we knew she was incredibly organised and had a wonderful eye for detail. The colourful wildflower theme was carried through beautifully, right down to the pretty wildflowers woven into her veil.

And, of course, there was one very special guest in attendance… the one and only Hennifer Lopez! (An inside joke for those who were there on the day - sorry Adam)

We wish you and your boys all the very best for the wonderful times ahead. Thank you for choosing Blackshaw Barns and letting us be a little part of your day 💕

Congratulations Kirsten & Jamie!

A truly gorgeous couple. It was so clear from the moment they started setting up at the venue that Kirsten & Jamie have the most amazing friends and family around them. ❤️

A floral dream team transformed the tables, with every little detail thought through with such an elegant eye. That attention to detail extended to the cake too — a beautiful three-tier creation by Bespoke, luxury, wedding cakes - Lanarkshire 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 that rotated to reveal a whole Lego wonderland, much to the kids’ delight. Such a thoughtful way to make sure the little ones felt included in their special day.

There was a surprise for Jamie too, as his new wife arranged for country singer Rob Ross to entertain during the drinks reception, before The Trueloves had the dancefloor full for the evening celebrations.

No amount of rain was going to dampen their day. Kirsten & Jamie simply got outside, embraced the weather, and embraced what the day was really all about — the two of them, surrounded by the people they love, celebrating their life together.

Lots of love to you both. Here’s to a future filled with plenty more fun, laughter and wonderful moments with your lovely family. 🤍
