Wedding styling: Heligan garden elopement

An elopement styled with fresh greens at The Lost Gardens of Heligan

For a wedding immersed in enchantment and natural beauty, it’s difficult to imagine a more romantic setting than The Lost Gardens of Heligan. Lost to the brambles of time since the outbreak of the First World War, Heligan was reawakened as Europe’s largest garden restoration in 1990 and today, the lush paddocks, idyllic Pleasure Grounds, walled gardens and 60 acres of woodland make a paradisiacal backdrop for a marriage to remember.

This styled shoot draws on the gardens, and its leafy paths and canopies of green, to set the scene for an incredibly romantic elopement. Shades of green carry from the linens and candles on the al fresco tablescape to stationery and cake, which is adorned with fern-like detailing, florals, foliage and accents of gold. Dressed in a lace gown, a headband of white blooms and delicate jewels, the bride's look balances timeless elegance with modern flair. From the greenhouse dotted with plants and flowers to the rope bridge across the exotic jungle valley, the newlyweds roam the meandering pathways of Heligan, taking in its otherworldly beauty on the dreamiest of days.
