The relaxed, sun-drenched vibe of Ibiza and, in particular, the island’s renowned Ocean Beach Club inspired the palette and mood of this styled shoot in the picturesque setting of Uphill Farm’s walled garden. “Anyone who has been to Ibiza will likely be familiar with Ocean Beach Club – a fun, lavish poolside day club which regularly features world-class entertainment and feel-good vibes,” explains Laura Dalton of Kept Weddings with Laura who styled and coordinated the shoot. “The club is instantly recognisable with its pure white daybeds and bright orange décor contrasting against the turquoise waters of the pool.”
Arranged with cushions on the grass to create that laidback Ibiza ambience, gorgeous tangerine florals bring warmth and colour to the tablescape, while the cake is decorated with shades of ocean blue. Mesmerising entertainment and flavoursome tapas, however, were key to creating the fun-filled, sensory delights of Ocean Beach Club. “It was important to incorporate an Ibiza saxophonist and a freestanding aerial hoop artist who can freestyle alongside the couple as they chill and tuck into delicious Spanish delights,” says Laura.
The fun mood extends to the fashions. “Staying true to Ibiza style, the bride was adorned with a statement headpiece and matching jewellery to add elegance to a wild theme,” she says. Her braided half up, half down hair and sun-kissed make-up adds to the relaxed, summer feel. Of course, the most important ingredient of an Ibiza inspired wedding is dancing – and lots of it! This was key to Laura’s outfit choices: “The bride and groom were dressed in lightweight materials to allow them to move freely and dance the night away under the festoon lights of the walled garden,” she concludes.
