Fresh Linen

When you think of ‘bohemian’ you might think of an easy going festival wedding, but it can also be beautifully combined with a modern and minimalistic wedding styling. For this editorial, we created a fresh, minimalistic look with a wintery color palette.

Blue, white and the warmth of different shades of apricot form a beautiful combination in the flowers, stationery and a beautifully set table. Dream team details below.

Neutrals at Ponden Mill

Elder (Sambucus Nigre Black Lace) providing the perfect backdrop against the Haworth stone mill, steeped in history with it’s glorious riverside setting. I’ve said this before, but using neutrals/naturally dried flowers can sometimes give the overall effect of ‘beige’ despite all incredible the textures and forms. For the backdrop, against the creamy stone wall, the Elder would provide a bold and striking contrast. Keeping it seasonal with the dahlias, helychrysum and phlox Crème Brulee.

Terracotta

A reflection of the season and challenging the perceptions of Spring floral designs. By working with what could be considered a more autumnal palette of burnt tones, mustard and terracotta.

There’s a decisiveness and consideration in the placing of structural branches/ blossom and dried elements. The flowers taking an almost understudy role to the overall movement of the installation. I consider the juxtaposition with the model and knowing how she will move in that space is all key.

Judging, balancing, evaluating and framing, there is a lot goes into the creative thought process, but on an editorial feature there is the beauty of artistic freedom, do as you please.  

When building the bouquet, I did feel the bold orange colour was a little too harsh and focussed predominantly on the Toffee Roses and spring favourites ranunculus, helebores and tulips. Foraged terracotta coloured silver birch bark formed the central runner for the tablescape dotted through with lychees and hand dipped candles.

Such a wonderful creative collaboration, all working with the same common goal, to bring you beauty and hopefully inspire you.
