Apricot continues to beguile designers and couples alike with its warmth, energy and creativity. Elevating any space with its zesty tone and vibrant look, the versatile shade is easy to splice into both the main stylistic features and minutiae, adding eye-catching depth and a joyous mood for a wedding scene as contemporary as it is feel-good.
“The colour inspired the base of the Apricot Crush shoot, but we layered this up with a palette of peaches and creams,” explains Nikki Sheriff from Knots & Kisses, who styled and coordinated this styled shoot at Brickhouse Vineyard. “We then added some fun modern touches with a shot of petrol blue and on-trend bubble candlesticks, modern shaped vases and structured modernist floral arrangements.”
Nestled in the South Devon Hills, Brickhouse Vineyard provided the perfect backdrop while showcasing their new horsebox bar and pizza van. “We wanted to keep the look for the shoot dreamy and floaty, which was a great juxtaposition with the modern rustic feel of the gorgeous roundhouse and barn, while some beautiful fabrics created a softer feel,” says Nikki.
The overarching look was achieved through the details. Stationery in soft peachy hues and striking geometric designs, blousy white and pale melon blooms and the elegant tiered cake adorned with a few single stems set the stunning scene. Tablescapes layered with fabrics and dotted with an assortment of seductive shaped votives and vases merge baby pinks, cantaloupe orange and pure apricot with a contrasting shot of cobalt, the gold flatware lending a gorgeously luxe finish.
Meanwhile, the couple’s minimalist outfits smack of modern chic style. The groom’s sand coloured suit is accessorised with a pale peach tie and pocket square, while the bride teams her spaghetti strap slip with pearl jewellery, open-toe heels and a delicate bouquet followed by a glamorous satin gown with back bow, hot apricot lips and old-school Hollywood waves.
