For the Love of Pink
Introduction
It goes without saying that being an editor of a wedding magazine is an absolute dream, but believe it or believe it not, some days it can be an absolute nightmare…for my poor husband! It’s when incredible images like this drop in my inbox, I see the shear panic in his face at the thought of my extravagant plans for our vowel renewal; A vowel renewal which isn’t even happening but I get a little pleasure out of making him sweat!
But in all seriousness, my heart did skip a beat when For the Love of Pink landed in the inbox. This collaboration has given me serious wedding envy with this iconic look. Save the Date Magazine exists to help make planning your special day easy by sharing new ideas, trends, inspiration and introducing you to independent venues and wedding creatives that we love.
Without further ado, here’s Alrewas Hayes to tell us more about this insanely stunning collaboration...
How would you sum up the inspiration behind this submission in one paragraph?: “The aim of this styled shoot was to inspire couples who would like to add a pop of colour to their wedding day but are unsure how to incorporate this. It was also to show the versatility of Alrewas Hayes and the newly refurbished Lakeside.”

From the striking red lip to the suave pink suit, the shoot was brimming with romance.

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…
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.

Talk about perfect timing…When this styled photoshoot landed in our inbox, the sun that we had all longed for (seeing as it is August!) began to shine too. It’s was as if the universe knew that we needed something to brighten our day and remove the clouds away. This styled photoshoot is certainly a ray of sunshine.
There are pearls, cork poppings and all kinds of prettiness so where do we start? The venue, of course; Hodsock Priory is a historic country house wedding venue set in 800 acres of countryside on the border of Nottinghamshire and South Yorkshire. This carefully restored family home is an award-winning luxury wedding and event venue, surrounded by breath taking views and presented within luxurious gardens and rolling fields and offers the most spectacular backdrop for the shoot. Hodsock Priory’s epic proportions require some equally epic styling to hold its own and Samantha at Willow and Rust did not disappoint.
