On first glance, colour and shades are dominant here: pops of warm mustard, bright orange, soft cream, golden light. It all contributes to an autumnal vision, creating vibes of cosiness and coastal elegance. However, it's the textures that add depth to the warm images, evoking an authentic feeling of bohemian beauty. Chunky knitwear and warm scarves add a seasonal dimension to the dreamlike, floaty bridal gowns; blankets and cushions sit alongside earthenware crockery, and raw materials of brass and wood.
Warm honey yellows dictate a real sense of soft autumnal nature; no more so than in the long stems of pampas grass. Used as a dramatic backdrop and in the distinctive bouquet, the grass is complemented by large flower heads and artichoke hearts. Loose braids, velvet heels, rough-edged stationery and a salted caramel cake adorned with figs and papery physalis, the styling is seasonally stunning. Shying away from the more frequently seen autumn palette of berry tones, this is one that's buttery, spiced, romantic. There's a warm gracefulness that pervades throughout the shoot, as light as a gentle zephyr.
