Honestly if I told you just how many changes were made before this photoshoot you wouldn’t believe me!
If I told you a back-up location was needed in less than 24 hours, I doubt you would believe me either!
I am a true believer in the saying ‘Everything happens for a
reason’ and I couldn’t be more pleased that everything did happen as it did for
this shoot. When you look through these awesome images by Nadja Litau Photography
, you will understand why I am saying that. In my opinion it is an absolute
beauty of a photoshoot and we couldn’t have asked for a better end result.
A huge thank you to the amazing Warborne Farm in Lymington, Hampshire for giving us the go ahead to turn up with the team and our model Charlotte and her horse, Ruby... the next day! I really can’t shout about this farm and wedding venue enough. If you love the great outdoors and farm life and are also looking for beautiful onsite accommodation, then this really is the place to look at for a DIY wedding.
I am going to kick this blog off by sharing this fabulous short film produced by Joe from Lovecrafted Wedding Films, a fantastic videographer.
To some people a wedding mixed with animals may ring alarm bells, but if you ask me your pets are part of your family, so I say why not have them at your wedding?!
For quite some time my vision had been to organise a photoshoot with a lone bride and her horse. To see a bride riding her horse, cantering across the grassland with her stunning dress floating behind her, would just make the most beautiful image.
This stunning dress supplied by Minster Bridal Boutique really was something else. A delicate 3D flower embroidered lace dress with two thigh high slits and an A-line tulle skirt, teamed with an elegant and delicate cape. Both the dress and cape were by designer Riki Dalal...
If you are going to ride your horse and have your wedding on a farm then there is no point having impractical shoes!
To match our colourscheme Custom Wedding Conversesupplied these beautifully embellished orange converse boots. A comfortable and quirky surprise hidden under the wedding dress, which made riding Ruby so much easier for our model Charlotte.
Everyone loves a feather...right?
This statement head crown of feathery wonderfulness was handcrafted by the super talented Ritz & Sassand as you can see for yourselves was just incredible.
The head crown was positioned perfectly on Charlotte's loosely braided and twisted updo, elegantly styled by Sapphire Styling. This hairstyle was just perfect for the shoot. Braided enough that it wouldn’t blow in Charlotte's face while riding Ruby but still looking graceful and free in the wind...if that is such a thing!
Every bride deserves to be pampered on their wedding day, so I say, get in the professional make-up artists like Carina Allen-Jones Artistry.
If you want to bring a bit of colour to your wedding day then why not do it through your flowers?
As always Dorset Flowers never fails to disappoint. Ellie and Annette brought the Pinterest board to life by creating their own take on the brightly coloured brief...
...and of course, they couldn’t forget Ruby who was the perfect four legged model for flowers!
You can’t get married without wedding rings and choosing them is a big decision to make. If you are looking for something handmade and that little bit different then Georgina Ettridge Jewelleryis your ‘go to’ lady!
Georgina’s nature inspired rings and jewellery are simply exquisite...just take a look for yourself!
Beautiful stationery is the start of your wedding journey once you have sent out your invites to your friends and family. Taryn from Live Laugh Createdesigned this beautifully bright and colourful stationery set which looked just perfect against the bright florals.
Who loves a beautiful cake?....ME!
How lucky were we to have the uber talented cake artist Helen Jane Cake Designcreate this absolute beauty of a cake for our shoot.
Now you are married why not have a sign to shout about it?!
Just look at this super cute ‘Just Hitched’ sign made by the wonderful stylist Laurel Designs...such a lovely memento to remind you of your very special day.
With so many stunning images by Nadja Litau PhotographyI had to share some of the others with you too!
In true farm style I couldn’t end this blog without sharing these lovely little goats with you.
Such great company and they certainly had the ‘b---aahhh’ factor on shoot day!
