Becca & Matt’s Rustic Barn Wedding at The Holford Arms, Tetbury

On August 12, 2023, Becca and Matt tied the knot in the stunning, rustic setting of The Holford Arms, a barn venue nestled in the heart of Tetbury, Gloucestershire. Their wedding was infused with the charm of a cottage garden theme and highlighted by the striking accents of purple tartan, inspired by the Ironside tartan.

Sprouts of Bristol was thrilled to help bring Becca and Matt’s vision to life through our DIY wedding plant hire service, providing a curated selection of plants that truly reflected their style and love for greenery.

At Sprouts of Bristol, we believe that plants bring an extra layer of warmth and beauty to any wedding. Our DIY wedding plant hire service allows couples to add their personal touch with the perfect plants for their big day. For Becca and Matt’s rustic barn wedding, we provided a mixture of ferns, herbs, and flowers in terracotta pots, filling the aisles and tables with vibrant greenery that perfectly complemented their gorgeous venue.

All the plants we supplied were British-grown and seasonal, hand-picked from a grower’s nursery just outside of Bristol the day before the wedding weekend. We worked closely with the couple to offer advice on layout, but they arranged and styled the plants themselves, making their wedding a more personal and hands-on experience.

🌿 Ferns and Herbs for the Aisles

To line the aisle, we chose a collection of ferns, rosemary, and other herbs to give off a fresh, earthy scent, adding to the rustic garden vibe.

For a pop of colour, we included a mix of flowers in shades of purple, blue, white, and cool pink, which complemented the purple tartan accents of the décor. The vibrant blooms included Blue Geranium, Purple Salvia, Deep Pink Dahlia, Dusty Brown Rudbeckia and White Anemone, which brightened up the tables and added a soft contrast to the green foliage.

🌿 Terracotta Pots for a Natural Look

All the plants were displayed in terracotta pots, which gave them a natural, earthy look, matching perfectly with the rustic and vintage vibe of The Holford Arms. These pots housed a variety of plants including Pink Lavender, Pink Verbena, Deep Purple Verbena, and Purple Allium.
