From the lofty trees of the lime avenue to the dreamy clouds of the wisteria walk, Pentillie Castle & Estate makes an otherworldly setting for a styled shoot with a love of nature at its heart.
“If every couple took an earth-friendly approach to their wedding day, the positive impact would be phenomenal,” says Danielle Donnelly of The Wed Hub, who styled the shoot. Every detail was selected with sustainability in mind: the food and flowers were sourced locally and organically, while a series of upcycled and recycled props add personality to the scene while minimising impact on the planet.
The uplifting colour palette reflects the vibrance of the flower-filled setting. Grown just a short distance from the venue in Liskeard, the bridal bouquet from The Flower Mill Cornwall captures the wildly beautiful vibe of the shoot with its just-gathered aesthetic and vivid shades of pink, purple, blue and yellow. The colours echo the ceremony backdrop, crafted from upcycled wood, and the stationery made from recycled card and prettified with vibrant blooms and butterflies.
With its far-reaching views, the Old Tennis Lawn makes the perfect setting for a picnic. A wooden palette makes an ideal low-level table for the carnival of seasonal, locally sourced flavours; edible flowers add a pretty touch to the cocktails and cushions made from scraps of material are perfect for lying back and savouring those blissful newly married moments while watching the clouds slip by.
The bride and groom’s fashion choices make an earth-friendly statement of their own, the hired tweed suit and the ethereal pre-owned gown proving sustainability doesn’t mean compromising on style.
