Look, what happens when retro and new romantic wedding styles collided

24 Jan

This was a fab project from the start, the location was stunning, and I couldn’t wait to get started.

I worked with a fellow floral designer Liz from @lizzypippin on this style shoot. We have worked on many other floral projects before; we were looking forward to this floral challenge and to working with like-minded creative people, to produce a gorgeous vintage-styled shoot, with a retro twist, just look what happens…

THE DESIGN BRIEF: The colour palette has feminine drama with blush pink, soft grey, pale cream, and pops of deep dark raspberry and black to add that slight feeling of theatre. The décor, has a vintage feel, with antique and reclaimed props, with a slightly alternative unique twist, again adding drama, still keeping a soft feminine feel with layered soft fabrics.

The dress was designed by a local designer, the delicate lace vintage top, with a dramatic full layered skirt and black overlay.

The ceremony - The jetty on the lake became the wedding aisle, we created Floral columns, using foliage as the base, adding lots of the Rosa ‘Alpe dhuez’, Phlox ‘Whitecap’and Aster ‘Paquita’ to add colour. This was a tricky work area, as the jetty was quite narrow, and we didn’t fancy falling into the lake. The Floral columns had to be anchored down too, so as not to topple into the lake either.
