Now living in Somerset, I wanted to bring the two together.” Not just for traditional celebrations, Chloe was eager to show that the venue can be transformed into any style. “I wanted to inspire couples and show them that they can take this vast space and make it their own,” she explains. “I used repurposed props from my own selection alongside a rustic banqueting tablescape, with luxurious natural dyed silks and mismatched plates.” A team of local experts brought together whimsical flowers, a showstopping blue dress, exquisite cake and nods to the novel in the calligraphy to complete this beautifully romantic shoot.
