a incredibly beautiful boho, rustic luxe editorial | uk wedding blog

After​ ​a​ ​friends​ ​wedding​ ​at​ ​The​ ​Granary​ ​Estates​ ​back​ ​in​ ​2014,​ ​I decided​ ​to​ ​to​ ​get​ ​in​ ​touch​ ​with​ ​the​ ​team​ ​to​ ​see​ ​if​ ​they​ ​would​ ​facilitate​ ​my​ ​ideas​ ​for​ ​a​ ​styled​ ​shoot.​ ​A beautiful​ ​venue,​ ​it​ ​is​ ​quintessentially​ ​English​ ​with​ ​so​ ​much​ ​character​ ​and​ ​charm.​ ​After​ ​meeting​ ​Leah,​ ​the photographer,​ ​on​ ​Twitter​ ​(and​ ​having​ ​fallen​ ​in​ ​love​ ​with​ ​her​ ​work)​ ​I​ ​knew​ ​that​ ​she​ ​would​ ​understand the​ ​look​ ​I​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​achieve.

I​ ​opted​ ​for​ ​a​ ​natural​ ​colour​ ​palette;​ ​quite​ ​stripped​ ​back​ ​and​ ​neutral.​ ​I​ ​chose​ ​green,​ ​white,​ ​peach​ ​and gold.​ ​I​ ​really​ ​wanted​ ​to​ ​keep​ ​the​ ​palette​ ​fresh​ ​with​ ​organic​ ​tones​ ​which​ ​would​ ​work​ ​cohesively​ ​with​ ​the airiness​ ​of​ ​the​ ​barns,​ ​the​ ​rawness​ ​of​ ​the​ ​internal​ ​and​ ​external​ ​brickwork​ ​and​ ​of​ ​course,​ ​the​ ​fragrant beauty​ ​of​ ​the​ ​outdoor​ ​spaces.

As​ ​a​ ​real​ ​lover​ ​of​ ​the​ ​boho​ ​trend,​ ​I​ ​chose​ ​a​ ​boho​ ​feel​ ​for​ ​the​ ​shoot;​ ​relaxed​ ​hair​ ​and​ ​make-up​ ​by​ ​Kerry​ ​of Cambridge​ ​Makeup​ ​Artist,​ ​an​ ​abundance​ ​of​ ​stunning​ ​florals​ ​and​ ​lush​ ​greenery​ ​by​ ​Clare​ ​Jones,​ ​and beautiful​ ​vintage​ ​crockery​ ​for​ ​the​ ​tablescape.​ ​Elizabeth​ ​Hall’s​ ​team​ ​were​ ​fantastic;​ ​not​ ​only​ ​did​ ​they create​ ​some​ ​wonderful​ ​interior​ ​scapes​ ​for​ ​Leah​ ​to​ ​shoot,​ ​but​ ​the​ ​outside​ ​area​ ​was​ ​styled​ ​to​ ​perfection utilising​ ​rugs,​ ​pillows,​ ​a​ ​semi-naked​ ​teepee​ ​and​ ​a​ ​gorgeous​ ​parasol​ ​from​ ​the​ ​East​ ​London​ ​Parasol​ ​Co.​ ​We were​ ​also​ ​joined​ ​by​ ​Carmen,​ ​a​ ​1963​ ​Volkswagen​ ​Cabriolet​ ​Beetle​ ​and​ ​oodles​ ​of​ ​mouthwatering​ ​sweet treats​ ​were​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​Essex-based​ ​Lucky​ ​&​ ​Co.

For​ ​the​ ​stationery,​ ​I​ ​opted​ ​to​ ​stay​ ​in​ ​keeping​ ​with​ ​my​ ​aesthetic;​ ​rustic,​ ​floral,​ ​boho.​ ​I​ ​created​ ​a​ ​suite which​ ​included​ ​an​ ​invitation,​ ​an​ ​RSVP​ ​card,​ ​a​ ​reproduction​ ​of​ ​a​ ​love​ ​letter​ ​by​ ​Keats,​ ​a​ ​menu,​ ​two​ ​place cards​ ​and​ ​a​ ​unique​ ​love​ ​story​ ​bookmark.​ ​I​ ​hand​ ​foiled​ ​some​ ​of​ ​the​ ​items,​ ​and​ ​also​ ​added​ ​some​ ​gold​ ​leaf to​ ​the​ ​bride​ ​and​ ​groom​ ​favours​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​The​ ​Willow​ ​Workshop.​ ​Zoe​ ​from​ ​The​ ​Golden​ ​Letter beautifully​ ​calligraphed​ ​some​ ​envelopes​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​GF​ ​Smith.

The​ ​weather​ ​on​ ​the​ ​day​ ​was​ ​perfect;​ ​warm​ ​sunshine​ ​with​ ​a​ ​breeze​ ​which​ ​really​ ​showed​ ​off​ ​the​ ​lightness of​ ​the​ ​Rembo​ ​Styling​ ​gown​ ​and​ ​the​ ​fluidity​ ​of​ ​the​ ​silk​ ​ribbons,​ ​provided​ ​by​ ​Kate​ ​Cullen.
