Wedding Reception Styling in Cornwall and Devon

Wedding styling: summer rose

With dappled sunlight streaming through the trees, this styled shoot celebrates the beauty of the rose in the most enchanting setting



From the soft shades and dreamily light skirts of the embroidered gown to the statement jewellery and bold lips, this styled shoot blends a delicate, ethereal aesthetic with a distinctly modern twist that lets the wild beauty of RHS Rosemoor in north Devon shine through.

"Inspired by the month of June - the month of the rose - this shoot honours the beguiling beauty and scent of the English rose, and also the beauty and qualities of all of our wonderful British-grown cut flowers," says Amy Gilbert of The Flower Forest, who styled the shoot. "The rose garden at RHS Rosemoor is a true sight to behold during late May and early June. It has to be one of the most beautiful and most scented places to sit and while away a few stolen moments. The roses included in the bouquet are all locally Devon grown David Austin roses and wonderfully scented pinks, also grown in a specialist nursery in Devon."

The silken petals and hues of the flowers carry through to the name of the bridal gown - 'Rose of the Forest' - while the clean whites and soft pinks of the cake echo its delicate beauty. Where the sun lands on the details - glinting on the intricately embellished bodice, shining through the opaque tulle of the skirt, drawing colour to the bohemian braid woven with dainty flowers - it highlights the tender beauty of the fairytale.
