Breaking the rules never looked so good! Would you opt for a red and pink wedding theme?

Inspiring my couples to push the boundaries and opt for unique and alternative looks when wedding planning is one of my passions, so when I was invited to be apart of a valentines themed shoot my heart sung (literally!).

With the concept being "Pink and Red" I was definitely sceptical about the final images, but as you can see the final results where phenomenal. Every supplier understood the brief and it was a fantastic example that sometime pushing the boundaries and not setting limitations can create amazing impactful results.

Everything was cohesive; from an effortless textured up do, finished with rhinestone accessories to match the disco balls theme, to show stopping pink and red florals adorned with foliage, fun and creative guest seating and signage and of cause those shoes! Truly alternative. I chose to create a one of a kind unique look with copious amount of effortless texture and alternative hair accessorise that matched the disco balls!

The shoot was held at the beautiful Merriscourt, so was the perfect location for the theme. Merriscourt is a breathtakingly beautiful Cotswold wedding venue on the border of Oxfordshire & Gloucestershire. Home of Thomas Astor & his family, the three interlinking Cotswold wedding barns are exclusively for you & your guests to enjoy. With the freedom to roam the 500 acres of the glorious Cotswold countryside all on your cottage doorstep.

If you choose this venue, your Cotswold wedding will start with the journey up the treelined drive. Their team will help guide you to create the perfect wedding day. Starting in The Stone Barn and moving you into The Gallery and then into The White Barn to celebrate your wedding breakfast. With their Michelin trained chef, your family and friends will indulge in the most sumptuous canapes and wedding breakfast.
They have exclusive cottages that are onsite for easy access for your guests and family and an intimate honeymoon suite for the couple.

Truly romantic, and unique... and probably the perfect wedding venue if you ask me!
