Matt & Sarah...an Engagement Shoot

I had such a lovely time last week styling this gorgeous engagement shoot for Matt & Sarah, who have to be  one of the most relaxed, fun and thoughtful couples I have ever met. I am so looking forward to styling their wedding in April! We spent the evening in the grounds of a lovely hotel in Cromford and also at a gorgeous bookshop for the rest of the shoot. We were joined by the lovely Rachael Connerton and her equally lovely husband Ian who captured some amazing images that you will be able to see in a few weeks! But I couldn't resist giving you a little sneak peek from my camera of some of the details in the meantime! Matt & Sarah love all things vintage, travel, books and music...the perfect clients!! I set up a cute little lace tent and added lots of vintage details and gorgeous pink and peach florals for a perfect summer evening.

Hope you've enjoyed! Look out for Rachaels images soon!x

One day I want a camera that will do this...!!

As promised here are some gorgeous, dreamy photos of bouquets and arrangements I made for the Stancliffe Hall wedding open day  by the always amazing Jade of Jade Alana Photography. If you're still looking for a photographer for your wedding, I can't recommend Jade enough...she always inspires and amazes me!! Thanks to Emma, her second shooter, for modelling for us...I draw the line at doing that!!

Here I paired huge fluffy white hydrangea heads with white cherry blossom from my garden in a white urn vase...I was very disappointed when I got home as my husband immediately removed the cherry blossom and threw it out complaining about hayfever!! Whatever happened to taking one for the team!! Oh well, it looks pretty in the photos!

I used simple jam jars to display peach roses and pink ranunculus for a country garden style feel...makes me want to make home-made lemonade and bunting!!

Soft pink roses with a brown satin handle and cameo style brooch...love these photos so much...

I love the mix of rich colours in this bouquet...deep burgundy and deep pink roses, pale pink spray roses and purple callas finished with a deep pink satin handle and diamantes. 

Hope you feel inspired! Happy Monday!
