Brinsop Court Styled Shoot - Pigment + Paper

Back in June, Olivia’s Wedding Planning gathered lots of suppliers together for a styled shoot at Brinsop Court, Herefordshire. Olivia gave us the brief of ‘Modern Boho’, with a gorgeous muted colour palette and hints of gold.
It was a day filled with sunshine, pampas grass, and Brinsop as the most incredible backdrop.
The lovely Priya from SORRISO Wedding Photography photographed the day, and has given permission for me to write a little blog post featuring her beautiful images.

Model Anna was styled by Hilary Read Hair & Make-up and Make up by Jenni Moran. Jenni created two make-up looks: the first with neutral tones and strong eye make-up, and the second with a gorgeous pop of colour in the lipstick. Hilary worked her magic with two different head-pieces – one a flower crown by Issy and Bella, and a gorgeous wirework piece by Designed to Sparkle.
Anna wore three different outfits: a dress, separates, and a jumpsuit – all of which were supplied by Georgina Louise Bridal. They each had such intricate detailing in the lace, buttons, and applique.

The table styling was centred around a colour palette of soft pinks, greeny-blues, and creams with little glimmers of gold. The floral centrepiece was created by Issy & Bella, and it was styled by Olivia.
I used my Contemporary Venue Studio Collection as a base, and then illustrated Brinsop Court to head the handmade Khadi paper. Matched with a blush envelope to pick up the main colour, and edged with some gold foil to catch the light, they looked gorgeous on the table next to a sprig of foliage.
The name cards were finished with some botanically-dyed organic cotton ribbon from Naked Dye.

Vic’s Vegan Bakes made the most incredible cake, decorated with flowers and foliage. It was just the perfect pop of colour and bought everything in the dining room together.
I made a little sign on the handmade Khadi Paper, saying ‘How sweet it is to be loved by you’ to go next to the cake, and Made by Little Chipp created some lovely hand-written wooden boards.

Designed to Sparkle created the most delicate wirework pieces that looked fantastic in Anna’s hair (and ears!) They were full of beautifully created golden leaves, formed into a crown and matching earrings.

Issy & Bella’s textural creations bought everything together so well – from the structural displays outside to the table dressing and floral crown. The pampas grass was such a romantic touch, which worked so well with Priya’s photography style. The bouquet was full of incredible shapes, a mix of dried flowers and fresh blooms.

Ruffe Media was also on hand making a video of the day, (with the most amazing camera!) and was very patient as we were asking him to follow the baby geese! I can’t wait to see the footage.
It was such a lovely day in the sunshine, thank you so much to Olivia for asking me to be involved, and to everyone for creating such a lovely environment. And a huge thank you to Brinsop Court for hosting us! As always, I will link all of the suppliers below.
