Soft, pastel blues, golds and sweeping sand was the theme of this shoot,” explains Bridal Hair by Marina’s Marina Moore. “Pulling together a talented group of suppliers, we made the most of the beautiful stretches of sand at Walton-on-the-Naze when the weather took a spectacular sunny turn. Opting for a simple, fresh take on a wedding picnic on the sand, Stephanie of Hire My Decor was on hand to craft some beautiful wedding stationery, as well as providing the table and props used for the set up. With flowing pastel blue tulle as a centerpiece, it really did look like a dreamy beach wedding! Charmaine from C Taylor’s Floristry created a gorgeous sweeping bouquet and centrepiece for the table using a mix of Mondial Roses, Spray Roses, Ranunculus, Agapanthus, and dried Scabious Seed heads and grasses. The blue, floaty foliage was Asparagus Fern, and there were lots of different types of Eucalyptus, too. “When it came to the bridal hair, I styled model Emily’s dark, glossy locks in a chic, long ponytail with a difference, while make-up artist Victoria kept her look reflective and golden, which made it shimmer in the sunlight. “Susan of Cottage Cakes created a gorgeous one-tier blue and creamy gold ombre cake, decorated with shells, biscuit sand and starfish. She also made some beautiful cupcakes to go with it, decorated with white chocolate shells. This was all captured by Laura Jane Photography, who has a talent for light, airy outdoor photography. Laura really wanted to make the most of the show-stopping dress provided by Millia London – a bright pastel blue, with ruffles and folds that worked like a dream on the beach. The gown is an incredible alternative for a bride that’s looking for something completely different – and for something that guests will be talking about for years.” “ 80
