STYLED SHOOT An Outdoor Wedding
Shoot organiser, Samantha from Willow and Rust Weddings, tells us all about this pretty as a picture styled shoot.
She says "Waking up at the venue on the morning of your wedding day after a lovely evening of laughter and bubbles with your girls, having your hair and make-up done, putting on the dream dress that you have been waiting so long to wear and heading across the lawn to see your other half standing there below a beautiful archway of flowers waiting for you. After saying your vows in front of your dearest family and friends you are ready for the party to start! Music, drinks, food, love, laughter and dancing carry you through to the end of the night when you both head over to your wedding night tipi, happy and content. Feet aching from dancing and voices and hoarse from singing. The perfect end to the perfect day."

Minimalist Romance at Wollaton Hall
Set in a beautiful glass house in Wollaton Hall…
“I love to organise styled shoots, in the hope that it will inspire couples planning for their weddings. Blush and grey are a perfect match and although they’re widely used at weddings, they are rarely used to product a moodier look for the table. The silk runners and candles really tie it all in, but it was the beautiful centrepiece created by Catkin Flowers that was the real show-stopper. I’m a massive fan of asymmetrical, natural flower arrangements, so this was a dream to shoot!
