The sweeping lavender fields and rural landscape of Cornish Lavender provide the backdrop for this evocative styled shoot. Inspired by the wild romance of Wuthering Heights, it reimagines the literary classic with a fresh, rustic-modern twist. Captured at Perrancoombe Valley between St Agnes and Perranporth on Cornwall's rugged north coast, the lavender farm offers a dreamy canvas for an editorial immersed in natural beauty.
“Rather than competing with the landscape, our vision was to embrace it, enhancing the venue’s inherent charm through thoughtful layers of texture, organic details and a palette inspired by the surrounding scenery,” says stylist Kerry Edney.
Locally grown flowers, gathered to look as though they've been freshly picked, adorn everything from the tablescape and drinks station to the arbour, cake table and hay bales, blending seamlessly with the fragrant lavender fields.
Lanterns, candles, candelabras, florals and tactile textiles create a soft, understated aesthetic, while crisp white linens and clear glassware bring a fresh, contemporary edge. A two-tier olive-green cake adorned with seasonal cherries adds a touch of indulgence, while seeded paper stationery with hand-torn edges beautifully ties the details together.
A minimalist crepe A-line gown with detachable sleeves is paired with sparkling diamond jewellery, luminous make-up and softly tousled curls, creating a timeless bridal look with a modern feel. The groom’s pale sage suit complements both the bride and the landscape, perfectly echoing the editorial’s relaxed, nature-inspired aesthetic while showcasing contemporary tailoring.
A quintessential Cornish cream tea at an intimate sweetheart table nestled among the lavender fields gives way to cocktails at sundown. “Every moment was designed to feel relaxed, romantic and deeply connected to its surroundings,” says Kerry, perfectly capturing the editorial’s enchanting celebration of nature and romance.
