Introduction

| STYLED SHOOT | Edgy Love

Looking for an edgy vibe for your wedding day? This shoot shouts all things cool and modern. With its bold colours and structured florals, it totally compliments the industrial vibes of venue, Shack Revolution, to a tee. We’ve been told the inspiration for this shoot was to create something edgy and modern and this talented bunch of suppliers certainly pulled that out of the bag; it definitely stopped us in our tracks when we spied it on Instagram.

Shack Revolution, a super cool wedding venue set in Hereford, offers the perfect backdrop with its brick walls and dark wooden features for the romantic colour palette of pinks, peaches and deep rouges; so dreamy!

There is a HUGE trend for bridal hats in 2021 and, quite frankly, we are loving it so we were pleased to see a funky fedora making an appearance here (and it also works so well with the veil combo – best of both worlds!). Will you consider adding a hat to your outfit choices? Go on, you know you want to! Take a look at those florals, aren’t they just perfect? Anthurium lilies are having quite the moment in the flower world right now due to their dramatic, heart shaped leaf and look just stunning next to those blousy roses.

We all know that “the devil is in the detail” and we think that is exactly what makes this shoot extra special. From the stationery suite to the jewellery selection, every aspect has married together in perfect union to offer more insta-worthy inspiration than you could ever wish for.

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.

Introducing Twig & Vine Photography

Your wedding day is a day filled with precious moments that you'll want to cherish forever.

Here’s some top tips and trustworthy advice from the experts…

Damson Opulence

The variations of deep purple give real depth of colour and are a welcome change from the usual burnt orange and brown we see this time of year. Teamed with the hunter green, these colours are perfect for both indoor and outdoor as highlighted in the final images.
