Nestled in a lush wooded valley in north Cornwall, Weddings in The Wyldes creates that perfect melding of an authentic festival experience with a magic-moment-filled wedding in a field full of friends.
The bridal look is one of vintage rock 'n' roll, with a wild edge of wow, pairing showstopping gowns of tulle, lace and sequins with leather, cowboy hats and chunky skull jewellery. The aesthetic embraces all things eclectic and edgy, dark and decadent, playing homage to the rock 'n' roll heritage of the venue. The dark cracked centrepiece cake with its gilt edging brings a depth and darkness, its blood-red blooms contrasting with the array of pretty cream and blush blossoms. From the '70s-inspired macrame hangings to crystal skulls and vintage curios decorating the tablescapes, it's a veritable treasure trove of velvety florals and fervent textures.
The shoot comes with an exhilarating message for brides and their posse -come wedding day: Love deeply. Party hard. Dance until dawn.
