Your Sussex Wedding - December 2020/Janaury 2021 (Issue 88)

Oh ! YOU P R E T T Y T H I NGS Bring out your inner festival bride with this fabulous Bowie-inspired shoot Images courtesy of Kirsty Mackenzie Photography W ith this vivacious project, the team from Beneath The Canopy set out to create something vibrant, lots of fun and jaw-droppingly gorgeous. “As a lover of all things music festival I wanted to add elements of that, while keeping the main focus on the fact that this look is totally transferrable to wedding-day styling,” says the company’s Elise. As you’ll no doubt gather, colour was the most important element of the aesthetic, and we love how the eye-catching tasselled jackets offer the perfect balance to Willowby by Watters’ delicate tulle dresses. And can we just take a moment to appreciate the beautiful botanicals, coordinated to match the headpieces and palm fans? “We need to talk about the disco balls… I love them!” Elise says. With the sunlight bouncing off of them as they hang from the trees in the woodland chapel, they certainly bring the party vibe with an extra touch of whimsy.  65 LOCAL SHOOT
