Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 76)

116 B e inspired by nature for your big day. Think rich berry tones, great for autumn and winter weddings, and dreamy dresses for a magical ethereal look. Local suppliers show how in this inspirational photo shoot at Apple Court Garden in Hordle, Hampshire. Organised by local wedding planner Hannah Middlewick of the Cottonwood Collective, the beautiful ornamental garden provided the ideal backdrop. “Itʼs al fresco, yet intimate at the same time,” says Hannah. A new and exciting venue, the first weddings are due to be held there next year. “We wanted to capture it while the garden was at its best and tried not to over-style it, in order to show off the wonderful space,” she explains. The jewel tones and berry reds used for the colour palette provided the perfect contrast against the lush green setting. “Apple Court is such a fresh idea and because itʼs so beautiful, romantic and exclusive, it doesnʼt feel vast and was already stunning before we did anything to it,” adds Hannah.
