Longbourn Barn Kineton - Crystal Chandeliers and White Drapes

Longbourn Barn Kineton - Crystal Chandeliers and White Drapes

What an amazing hidden gem Longbourn Barn is, tucked away in the Warwickshire countryside with breathtaking views over the surrounding landscape. We were delighted to be invited back for another wedding in this superb location.

After talking through various options, the couple chose four of our gorgeous tiered crystal chandeliers, each one framed by a soft white fabric drape. Wireless LED uplighters and a large white backdrop on the stage finished off the look, all coming together to transform an already beautiful venue while working with its stunning existing features.
