Introduction

| STYLED SHOOT | Love Rocks

Curated by Ruby at Love Birds Weddings and Events, the styling screams modern boho with its neutral colour palette and beautiful mix of fresh and dried blooms. Ruby tell us “With dried flowers and muted colours being a big 'on-trend' style for 2021, it was the obvious choice. I adore collaborating with other like-minded creatives and when I came across Oddhouse Farm I knew instantly it was the perfect setting and gathered together the team for a styled shoot.”

The styling oozes rustic luxe throughout the two different zones; “My aim was to showcase 2 options using the same contemporary bohemian vibe so, whether a couple are planning for a traditional wedding with formal dining or an intimate elopement with an outdoor picnic, inspiration can be found for all”.

Of course, we HAVE to talk about the bridal outfit of a Caroline Chamberlain lace gown, fringed suede jacket, hat and white ankle boots cranking the cowgirl bride vibes to the max, absolutely to die for! Yee haw!

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

Sustainable Elegance

We can be forgiven for wanting to float off into our dreamworld of idyllic weddings and not considering the environmental impact of our decisions for that one day. However, what if we told you that you could have your “green” cake and eat it; a sustainable wedding with all the latest trends. Sounds good, right?

Where do I begin looking for our perfect photographer, we hear you ask!

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.
