The wait is finally over and we’re so excited to introduce The Apple Shed, our elegantly designed new space, created exclusively for those precious pre-wedding moments.
The Apple Shed was thoughtfully designed by local Cambridgeshire architects, Freeland Rees Roberts, who worked in close collaboration with our good friend Kate Mackenzie from Mackenzie Home, the original designer behind our beautifully styled bedrooms. Every little detail has been thoughtfully considered, with a focus on sustainability, craftsmanship and timeless design – from carefully selected British-made products to beautifully sourced furniture from local suppliers.
Our couples will now have access to The Apple Shed from 8am on their wedding day – giving you a calm, private and stylish setting to get ready at your own pace, surrounded by your favourite people.
Inside, you’ll find a light-filled preparation space for hair, makeup and relaxing, a separate dressing room to keep everything perfectly organised and just perfect for that ‘First Look’ moment, a spacious bathroom with a fitted shower, a fully equipped bespoke kitchen, and a cosy lounge area to settle into the morning.
Step outside and take a breath of fresh air in our stunning season-inspired garden complete with elegant seating perfect for a morning coffee or those pre-ceremony celebratory drinks. Every little detail has been carefully considered to make your wedding morning feel just as special, seamless and memorable as the rest of your day.
A very big thank you to our fabulous, recommended photographer Cat Lane Weddings for capturing this space so beautifully for us – we couldn’t be happier with how you’ve captured the magic of this glorious place to life.
A very special thank you to Nikki Watkins Photo & Film, who is also a recommended photographer at South Farm, for sharing some stunning bridal prep moments from Sarah & Andy’s gorgeous wedding here over a week ago – we can’t wait to see more magical moments captured in our Apple Shed over the coming months.
Ahead of the all-important “I Do’s”, our couples and their bridal party will be personally chauffeured to their ceremony location in Walter — our fabulous vintage VW Campervan.
Over the coming months, Walter will be lovingly restored in our iconic South Farm blue, ready to make an unforgettable entrance and provide the perfect backdrop for some wonderfully fun and stylish wedding photographs!
