The wonders of nature A team of talented suppliers worked together to create two different wedding looks Images courtesy of Graham Davies Photography Rhian Rees, the organiser and florist behind this styled shoot, worked with local suppliers to create two beautiful looks. “The first part of the shoot was inspired by nature, appreciating the colours around us and how a wedding can embrace the seasons whilst still looking glamorous and dramatic,” says Rhian. “The stunning dress is called Finley by Sottero and Midgley and was chosen to tie in with the outdoor venue and to show a more relaxed and informal style. The flowers, designed by my company Wild and Fabulous Flowers, were stylish, playful and natural. A floral headband was also created to match the linear florals on the groom’s jacket.” The second part of the shoot was all about romance. “The models, Kate and Ruslan, are married refugees from Ukraine,” adds Rhian. “Their love for each other has seen them through very harsh times. I wanted to celebrate this by creating a romantic, fairytale-inspired look. The dress is called Cherie by GAIA Bridal. It was chosen as the subtle blush overtones fit the pink tones in the flowers. The flowers were soft pastels with pink and blush roses. We also created two different hair florals, one was on a wire which could be shaped and pinned anywhere on the head to suit any hairstyle, and the other was a blue velvet headband with florals that looked gorgeous with Kate’s eyes and make-up. Kate is incredibly beautiful and an amazing make-up artist with an understated style that enhances natural beauty.” 65 REGIONAL SHOOT
