This past May, I had the absolute pleasure of providing decor for a beautiful wedding at Vallum Farm in Northumberland. The bride was someone I connected with back in 2022, and wow what a dream client she was over the 2 years we worked together. She reached out, full of enthusiasm, wanting to secure her date before she even knew exactly what decor she wanted! It was one of those moments where you just click with a client, and she trusted me from the very beginning, which was such an honour.
Fast forward to 2024, and her vision had come to life in the most stunning way. She chose a combination of my most popular pieces: my natural love lights, the personalised Layla Wall, a dreamy moon frame with a neon sign, and one of my OG pieces, the Willow arch, which I personalised with vibrant sunflowers to match her cheerful, rustic theme.
The Venue: Vallum Farm’s Needs To Be Seen
If you’ve never been to Vallum Farm, you’re in for a treat. Nestled in the heart of Northumberland, it’s a gem of a venue—just 15 minutes outside of Newcastle but it feels like a world away. Surrounded by the beauty of the Tyne Valley and the historic charm of Hadrian’s Wall, Vallum Farm offers a stunning country setting that’s both serene and accessible.
The venue itself is incredibly versatile. For this wedding, the couple made use of the Marquee Barn and Tipi, which gave the day a wonderfully relaxed and intimate feel. It’s the kind of place where you can host a laid-back gathering with close family and friends or a larger celebration of up to 180 guests. It’s hard not to fall in love with the rustic charm, and the way the team at Vallum Farm ensures every wedding feels personal and stress-free.
A Wedding That Was Truly Unique
What made this wedding particularly special was how personal it felt. Sophie had created all her own centrepieces with the skill set of a pro stylist! And the day before the wedding as I was setting up my decor, I got to see all her family coming together and helping to set up all their personal touches and I could sense the emotions and excitement from everyone. Seeing the photos of Sophie & Samuel under the arch I’d customised especially for them is one of those moments that makes me love what I do.
Every element came together to create a day that was relaxed, joyful, and uniquely tailored to the couple.
If you’re planning a wedding and looking for a venue that combines the charm of the Northumberland countryside with fantastic food and a relaxed vibe, I couldn’t recommend Vallum Farm enough. It’s always a pleasure to work there, and this wedding was no exception!
