Savour a summer wedding in the British countryside. Pastel shades and heritage details meet cute-as-a-button attendants in this dreamy showcase...
Ahh, the joys of a British summer... think afternoon teas on sun-spilled lawns, idyllic gardens abloom with flowers and loved-up days giving way to starry-eyed nights.
This gorgeous styled shoot captures the essence of the quintessentially British summer wedding, providing the prettiest inspiration for an unforgettable celebration in the country. Embrace the romantic palette of the season's flowers; think roses, dahlias and hydrangeas in delicate shades of pink, purple and peach. Infuse a British heritage mood by arranging blooms in silver cups and carrying rosette details throughout the day: adorn your tables and chairs with fabric rosettes and opt for sugar-crafted versions for your cake. Set against a stunning paper rosette backdrop, this gorgeous hand painted cake echoes the pastels of the petals. Add lucky horseshoes and button details for an extra flourish of pretty.
An exquisite lace gown stylishly sets the tone for the bride, while flower girls in frothy peach tutus accessorised with tulle wands might just steal the show. Add little tweed jackets to echo the dapper pageboy's attire, which perfectly complements the heritage mood of the groom's ensemble. Complete the wedding party picture with a dog and a pony - both accessorised to perfection with a garland of flowers!
