WARM RUSTIC INTIMATE WEDDING

Featuring a styled shoot on the blog today which includes lots of inspiration for couples seeking an intimate and relaxed wedding day.

This styled shoot was inspired by the rise of intimate weddings. The Gooseberry House in the heart of Sussex is a gorgeous venue, a modern venue but with character. The newly Victorian glasshouse can hold up to 100 guests but is perfect for intimate weddings. The venue is a rural setting with acres of orchards, vines and crops.

Yellow was used as the base colour theme with soft peachy tones and brassy accents, inspired by the antique brass doors in the glasshouse and captured by this wonderful creative team, planned and executed by Bower Events. Photographer Hannah Lightpainter captured all the stunning details.

Warm yellow and orange flowers were styled by Florist Dove & Myrtle which looked fabulous next to the antique brass doors of the glasshouse at Gooseberry House and throughout the venue.

Wedding Table with Sharing Platters

A stunning tablescape was created using rustic shelving from Toast HQ. A sharing set up without having to sacrifice all the pretty table accessories such as candles and flowers.

Wedding table set up with place names layered on wedding menus, with pale linen, accessorised with flowers and rustic wooden shelves for sharing platters.

The sharing dishes were provided by Bear Claw Catering proving that sharing style food can still look stylish!

Curved Wedding Stationery

I designed the curved stationery in a suite of neutral tones with modern calligraphy to suit the yellows and warm oranges used throughout the styling. A full arch invite and curved stationery gives the suite contemporary vibes.

This stationery suite is based on The Hollie Stationery Collection from my curated collection of designs and can be customised to suit the colour of any wedding palette.

The place names were layered onto a curved wedding menu which also features modern calligraphy. Styled at the table with gorgeous pale linen, brass cutlery and a sweet lollipop treat by Anna Lewis.

Wedding Cake

Oh just look at the dreamy two-tiered buttercream cake by Bunston Bakes, adorned with blooms. Looks too good to eat!

The cake was part of the outdoor styling with the couple toasting on a casual seating area, making the most of their cosy knitwear!
