There is something about the Cotswolds that feels almost too beautiful to be real. Honey-stone villages, sweeping green hills, ancient churches and wildflower meadows - it is the kind of English landscape that has inspired artists, writers and romantics for centuries. And increasingly, it is capturing the imagination of couples from around the world who want to bring their own rich cultural traditions to one of Britain’s most iconic settings.

There’s something irresistibly romantic about a barn wedding. The texture of old stone, the warmth of timber beams, the softness of candlelight and the feeling of being tucked away in the countryside with everyone you love. But rustic barn wedding styling has moved far beyond hessian bows and jam jars. Today’s most beautiful barn weddings are layered with understated luxury - more country house editorial than country fair.
