“ The styled shoot took place at Burford House, nr Tenbury, Worcestershire - the garden has a magical quality to it, set against the backdrop of the stunning Georgian house - it is a very special place! Whilst creating the theme for this shoot, the inspiration came from the intricate details in the architecture of the house and the delightful gardens with the beautiful iron and stonework, majestic trees and cottage garden planting. The garden has a very romantic feel and we took advantage of the golden quality of the late summer light.
Bridal gowns from Pronovias were chosen for their vintage style lace, romantic beadwork and pale gold elements and were complimented by bespoke hair accessories, veils and separates by Tulle & Blue.
Florals included a huge arch adorned with ferns and golden dried grasses, berries and full blown Roses and Dahlias in Apricot, Blush and Copper. The large bouquet was a mix of Blush Roses, dried Hydrangea and Poppy heads, copper sprayed Eringium and Fern with beautiful textured grasses and seed heads.
The main elements of the second bouquet were millets, quaking grass/briza, fountain grass, bracken, golden asparagus fern, David Austin rose 'patience', 'golden mustard' rose, phlox 'creme brulee', amaranthus 'hot biscuits', eucalyptus and physocarpus. Sue and Kate used a combination of fresh and dried material to create lots of interest and compliment the natural hues of the garden. The loose informality of the floral style fitted well with the country garden theme giving that ‘just gathered’ look !
Stunning vintage props were provide by Sarah and Maxine and included a French Sweetheart table set for a romantic dinner for two ! They used vintage lace and textiles to soften the simple but elegant look which was complimented by French cutlery and Creamware plates. Vintage birdcages adorned the trees and candles and tea lights in lanterns and an eclectic range of candlesticks and vessels made a lovely foreground against the backdrop of the Pavillion.
The tiered cake , with it’s copper base picked up on the colour of the brickwork and it’s flowers reflected the stunning florals from the shoot.
The Wedding Paperie was designed to be elegant with a classic French feel - hand stamping and lettering was worked in gold German inks and finished with a simple organza ribbon and lucky vintage key. Complimented by a handmade Heirloom velvet ring box in pale sand.
We created images that show a timeless, classic country house wedding with elements of faded French Vintage and ivory wirework with a colour palette of the last golden days of summer - Champagne gold, pale apricot, blush and ivory accented with autumnal tones of gold and bronze.
A team of very talented suppliers - all of whom are one woman businesses - worked together to create all the components which came together on the day!
