Lovely in blush Fall in love with this pink and sage themed shoot at The Friars Images courtesy of Tara Hook Photography and Content Queen LTD Love It Again Bridal is a home-based bridal boutique in Maidstone, specialising in pre-loved wedding and occasion wear. “Very often when purchasing pre-loved, the bridal experience is often sidelined, but we believe that every bride is deserving of a bridal experience, no matter their budget, size or lifestyle choice,” says owner Eve Gardner. “We decided to base our shoot around the budget wedding theme, highlighting that you can still have a glamorous wedding without compromising on quality or style. Our venue of choice was our friends at The Friars, for whom we are recommended suppliers. It’s a truly stunning location, set in tranquil surroundings. With summer in mind, we opted for a blush pink and sage theme. Our model wore a simple, white, elegant gown by Whistles, which was paired with a pre-loved bridesmaid’s dress from a popular high street brand complemented with traditional bridal make-up by Emz Makeup Artist. The mother-of-the-bride wore a blush pink summer dress with a matching hat, shoes and bag, and we opted for simple white dresses for our flowergirls, one of which is from our collection; the other, plus the outfit our cheeky little page boy wore, were outfits they already owned. “No bridal look is complete without blooms and Linsey at Stag Cottage Flowers created bouquets that reflected our colour palette with a feminine touch. Finishing the look were flower crowns for the flowergirls. Moving onto the reception, we were joined by the incredibly creative Mercedes at 4YaParty Weddings & Events. Matching our concept perfectly, her styling oozed elegance and her love letters created an intimate ambience. Completing the look was stationery by Natalie at NK Calligraphy. Each place name was skilfully handwritten and the floral detailing on the menu cards perfectly matched the flowers in the bouquet. “No wedding reception would be complete without a wedding cake and the talented Julie at Julie Walker Luxury Cakes provided just that. Her beautifully crafted cake brought an excellent contrast to our blush tones, with a modern but rustic twist.” Top images provided by www.instagram.com/contentqueen.ltd Bottom images provided by www.tarahookphotography.co.uk 59 STYLED SHOOT
