how to recreate this alternative farm wedding
it's not all about the venue
It's about what you do with it! Your wedding is about you as a couple and you can breathe that energy into your styling. However, this industrial farm is pretty badass!
there are no rules
Don't want a white dress? Don't have one! Want to elope? Awesome! You make the rules.
pink can be edgy!
Pink doesn't have to mean soft and fluffy. This wedding uses light pink with edgy styling and it's a match made in heaven!
An alternative farm wedding for an alternative couple
This alternative farm wedding is the perfect balance of fun and badass! Steel & Oak wanted to capture some epic ‘Screw Covid!’ vibes, and I think it’s safe to say they achieved just that! With micro-weddings on the rise, this is a great example of what you can achieve on a small scale whilst still celebrating like kings and queens!
This bridal look is gorgeous! We’re suckers for a wedding flower crown, and it’s paired perfectly with this pink and white two piece. Always add Dr Martens for good measure! The groom is rocking a classic shirt and waistcoat combo, with short sleeves to show off those awesome tattoos!
