Your West Midlands Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 66)

61 LOCAL INSPIRATION H idden away in the heart of England, Alrewas Hayes is a historical country estate where exceptional event experiences happen. A place to escape from the everyday, the 100-acre estate has been home to five generations of the Williams family and their heritage remains at its heart. In the hands of its current owners, the house and surrounding estate has been renovated and reimagined over the past decade, to become a country retreat that fuses historical charm with a contemporary aesthetic. Now entering a new chapter in its evolution, a team of talented suppliers came together to style a shoot that showcased all that this beautiful estate has to offer. Exceptional dining is integral to the Alrewas Hayes experience and an abundance of food and drink menus bring together creatively designed dishes inspired by the seasons. The colour palette was chosen to reflect the welcoming warmth that oozes throughout Alrewas Hayes. Plums, dusky pinks and gold tones were contrasted with soft greens, greys and creams to create a look that was inviting and elegant. Styling details, stationery and flowers were designed to evoke a sense of the old fused with the new. Florist Emily Wisher adorned the venue spaces with timeless and romantic floral arrangements with a fresh, contemporary aesthetic.  We love that this collaborative shoot showcases all that Alrewas Hayes has to offer couples for the big day Images courtesy of Divine Day Photography BE inspired
