| STYLED SHOOT | Relaxed, Floral Barn Inspiration

Jewel tones of dreams…

We just ADORE this styled shoot and think you just might too. At one of the regions newest venues, The Hall Barns in the Leicestershire countryside, a group of super-suppliers came together to create this smorgasbord for the eyes; originally inspired by THAT dress, the florals creations, deep colour palette and stunning attention to details all come together to create a pretty special shoot teeming with wedding inspiration.

Stylist on the day, Vickie from Sage & Belle Styling, says “I wanted a really relaxed and natural feel to this shoot. I fell in love with the dress which has a real hippy vibe with all the embroidered flowers and gorgeous colours, so this was the main inspiration for everthing. The couple wore converse (no aching feet for our bride!) and the flowers were lucuious and loose. Working with the florist, we created a feature floral using recycled wooden ladders that suited the barn perfectly. The ladder theme was then echoed in the rest of the styling with the welcome display and a ladder hung between beams covered in foliage and fairy lights. The table was dressed in a relxed style with feature flowers, candles and moss with gorgeous watercolour hand torn stationery and guaze napkins.”
