Lavender & Blue

Styled shoot in the Cotswolds - Stratton Court Barn

Looking to bring a touch of French opulence to the Cotswolds I hear you say? Then look no further than this gorgeous lavender and blue styled shoot at Stratton Court Barn in Oxfordshire, a stone’s throw from the picturesque Cotswolds and a venue I absolutely love working at!

Prepare to be enchanted by the dreamiest of shoots, where opulence meets romance, featuring swathes of meadow flowers, stylish outfits, delicate lighting and modern wedding invitations, where a pop of colour truly makes all the difference.

The ceremony setting exudes grandeur with its lavish blooms, creating a breath-taking backdrop for this wedding shoot. The tablescape, too, is fit for a Queen, designed to captivate and delight. Adorned with luxurious linens, delicate glassware, ornate gold accents and accompanied by the most stunning of florals, every detail is carefully curated, ensuring that each place setting is a work of art. Flowers, stationery, cutlery and crockery, a 5-tier cake and macarons, even the cocktails were considered. It’s all in the details and that’s what I love!

Our stunning couple were dressed in attire provided by local suppliers and the bride's hair and makeup perfectly aligned with the natural feel for the day. Featuring a soft use of violet on the eyes, this subtle touch of colour enhanced her natural beauty and added a delicate pop of purple to complement the overall theme. As the day progressed, the bride's makeup transitioned to a smokier eye. This change in makeup added depth and drama, creating a captivating look that intensified the Lavender and Blue brief.

Foam-free mechanics were used for the floral arrangements, aligning with Kate and Victoria's commitment to environmentally conscious practices. Eco-friendly stationery and signage and beautiful handmade vintage hairpieces created a final result that was stunning, opulent, and sustainable that captured the essence of French opulence in the Cotswolds, while also highlighting the importance of environmentally conscious choices. Embrace the opulence, romance, and vibrant colours of this Lavender and Blue wedding, and let yourself be swept away into a world of regal splendour and joyous vibes.
