When Leah & Adam decided to tie the knot at Recommended Venue, Trevenna, they weren’t about to settle for a cookie-cutter wedding celebration. Oh no. These two lovebirds took DIY to a whole new level, crafting a wedding so personal and unique that even Pinterest would be jealous. From homemade Save the Dates to a hand-curated playlist, they poured their creativity into every detail. And let’s not forget the vows, which were heartfelt, tear-jerking, and entirely their own. Even the father of the bride, a self-proclaimed wedding sceptic, found himself welling up. That, folks, is the power of love… and well-crafted words. Every single wonderful moment of the day was captured by Recommended Supplier, Wild Tide Love!
DIY Personal Touches at Trevenna Barns Wedding
Our favourite moment of the day was our vows. This was something I knew I wanted to do whenever I got married and was happy that Adam was on board. It was a push for me to read out such a personal message in front of lots of people as I can be quite shy but it was the most memorable part of our day. Hearing the beautiful things Adam had to say as well was gorgeous. We even made my dad cry (and I was not expecting that as weddings are not his thing!)

The DIY Dream & Floral Fantasy
Leah had a vision for that day, and that was flowers. Not just the polished, symmetrical kind, but an explosion of blooms that felt natural, colourful, and joyful. With Trevenna’s rustic farm vibes as their canvas, the couple sprinkled in their own reclaimed and handcrafted touches, resulting in a wedding that was effortlessly stylish. They embraced the imperfectly perfect aesthetic, crafting decorations, signage, and even their wedding newspaper— why not make your love story front-page news?
And let’s talk about their DIY playlist for the reception. A nostalgic journey through the decades, it had something for everyone. From toe-tapping 50s classics to modern-day bangers, guests even got a say in the soundtrack, ensuring that the dance floor stayed packed and their grannies and Gen Z cousins alike had their moment to shine during the evening.
Vows, Tears & Dance Floor Cheers
The ceremony was nothing short of magical. With personally written vows, Leah & Adam poured their hearts out, turning a moment of nerves into a highlight of the day. Their chosen readings, Bob Marley’s He’s Not Perfect and The Giraffe and the Monkey by Daniel Thompson, struck the perfect balance of deep and delightful, much like the couple themselves. And if anyone was keeping a ‘who cried first’ tally, it turns out Leah’s dad took home the gold. Speeches were another standout, especially when the Maid of Honour took the mic and absolutely nailed it.
With Wild Tide Love capturing every moment in beautifully natural light, Leah & Adam now have a treasure trove of memories that truly reflect the happiness of their day. Because when it comes down to it, the best weddings aren’t about picture-perfect details, they’re about the people, the moments, and the stories you’ll tell for years to come.
A Collaborative Playlist Is Such A Good Idea For Those Looking To Save Their Wedding Budget!
My advice would be to enjoy it. At times, it can feel really stressful but you will really miss that time when it is gone. Go to that extra effort to add in little details and personal touches as it makes that wedding planning time even more special. I would give anything to still be planning my wedding as I loved every step of the way. I would also say, to remember that it is your day as a couple, so make choices that make you happy and try not to worry too much about everyone else. As long as there is plenty of food, drink and music, you're on to a winner!
