Weaving the gentle hues of lilac and pastel blue into fabulous floral arrangements was the starting inspiration for this styled shoot at Barley Wood, a picturesque wedding venue surrounded by stunning countryside views.
A powder blue French Renaissance theme evokes a classic, elegant and dreamily timeless feel. Floral displays filled with pale blue hydrangea, scented sweet peas, soft lavender roses, delphiniums and stocks are paired with fragrant foliage, in the form of eucalyptus and ivy, to give the blooms a gathered-from-the-garden feel.
Pale blue silk table runners and napkins teamed with gold accents make the table details pop against the fresh white backdrop of the neutral venue, while gold-rimmed glass plate chargers are topped with pretty place name cards, finished with lilac ribbons. The luxe air of romance continues in the stationery suite, with a lilac, pale blue and purple wisteria design trailing across the textured card, and the two-tiered lilac cake with its painted gold sugar work and a decorative floral arch framing it.
The perfect pairing for the dreamy details, the bride stuns in a stylish A-line gown with a high leg split and removable off-the-shoulder puff sleeves. Her glamorous updo is finished with a bespoke floral hair accessory, while a soft natural pink lip enhances the mood of romance. A pair of lilac heels make the oh-so gorgeous finishing touch to the pastel-pretty scene.
