The inspiration

The vision for this shoot was elegance with a dusty blue colour palette; as blue is a divine colour and fits in with weddings all year round. The light and airy images captured by Victoria Mitchell really added to the overall effect, a fresh and relaxed style.

the venue

Due to the pandemic, outdoor wedding planning is becoming more popular; The Barn at Brookend Farm is able to offer outdoor weddings within their woods, orchards, meadows and beside the lake, giving you multiple options for your wedding day. In particular, the orchard provided a stunning backdrop for the day.

The Table styling

Beth from Miss Carlysle and Co, and Kate from Wren Ark worked their magic with tableware and using prop hires from Wren Prop Hire. Providing a wonderful example of how you can style your reception tables without excess, which is a win-win for your wedding day. Simple blue & grey table runners alongside tall blue candles on clear candlesticks are such a wonderful addition to any table, giving off a warm glow in the evening of your wedding day. Dusty blue napkins were added to capture the essence of the shoot, the look was then completed with the silver cutlery and silver-rimmed chargers.

The florals

The table was topped with some beautiful foliage and florals which were draped through the middle, reflecting an organic minimalist look. This look was then mirrored in the bouquet, with the final look organic and lose in its shaping. The florals throughout drew from the simple, yet elegant look of the rest of the shoot, adding a dreamy palette of blue.

The finishing touches

Simple blue & grey table runners alongside tall blue candles on clear candlesticks are such a wonderful addition to any table, giving off a warm glow in the evening of your wedding day. Dusty blue napkins were added to capture the essence of the shoot, the look was then completed with the silver cutlery and silver-rimmed chargers. Overall the finishing touches created a beautifully intimate feeling, all working well with the dusty colour palette, with a hint of white. The stationery was designed with simple elgance in mind, reflecting the overall inspiration wonderfully.

The bride and groom

The bride and groom were styled with a simple elegance in mind, creating a touch of drama with the bridal gown’s movements. The groom’s suit was picked with an undertone of blue which tied him in to the rest of the styling. The bridal hair and makeup was approached in a less is more way, capturing the wild nature of the location.
