Something Blue, at the Folly

Real Wedding

11 Oct

In the picturesque countryside of Derbyshire lies The Folly - a stunning wedding venue based at The Farmhouse in Mackworth. With a blend of rustic charm and understated elegance, it made for the perfect location for this Bridgerton-inspired styled shoot, bringing together opulent fashion, romance and sophisticated details - with the most stunning powder blue colour throughout, this theme would be fitting for any time of year.

The bride was dressed in an off-the-shoulder gown, complete with diamante waist detail and intricate lace embroidery on the veil. Her look was completed with softly curled striking red hair, fastened back with a blue hydrangea clip; the colour of which perfectly matched the decor. The groom’s pale suit complemented the bride’s vintage elegance, with soft hues of dusky blue and cream tying their looks together.

Beauty in Sustainability

Sustainability in the wedding industry is gaining traction as couples seek to minimise the environmental impact of their special day. From using local, organically-sourced materials for decorations, favours and tableware, to choosing suppliers who share eco-conscious values. When this shoot landed in our inbox, we simply had to share for those of you who seek inspiration for sustainability on your own wedding day.
