A while ago a friend of mine told me about a new wedding venue that was going to be opening near Stratford Upon Avon called The Moat House. It's an old Tudor house with a large barn that they were converting and sounded beautiful. So I got in touch to find out more and see if we could arrange a styled shoot over the winter when I tend to be a bit quieter with weddings. It was indeed a beautiful place and they were literally pulling it apart and starting from scratch with the barn, but you could see what a gorgeous venue it was going to be. So I started to make contact with lots of local suppliers to discuss ideas with them and getting them involved in a styled shoot and the ideas came flooding in from them all. We decided to do 2 themes that were themes that came up regularly with our couples and try to show them how they could acheive these looks using suppliers and off the shelf merchandise rather than anything too unacheivable for your average bride and groom. So we went for a nice raw and rusic theme and a soft, romantic theme. Here is a snapshot of the rustic theme and a list of the wonderful suppliers involved below - hope you find it inspiring!
