It’s Friyay!!! Whoop whoop! Before you switch your screens off and throw yourselves into your Friday night plans, we have a beautiful styled shoot to share with you. A wedding inspiration shoot that comes with a delightful Spring citrus colour palette of blush, orange, tangerine, living coral and soft peach. It also features dresses from the amazing Bowen Dryden, with the first dress reminding us that the sunny days of Spring are just around the corner. We ADORE the stunning floral embroidery and detail of this dress. It is full of so much Spring romance and works beautifully with the dramatic backdrop of the venue and the overall theme of the shoot.
Put together and styled by The Italian Dream, Citrus Romance was built to lift couples locked down moods through it’s exploration of colour, texture and luxe couple styling. It comes with a mixture of bohemian and vintage decor (look out for the lampshades and floral napkins), a modern elegant vibe to the Bride and Groom, as well as an awe inspiring wedding cake with the most incredible sugar petal design – Bluebell Kitchen, you’re a genius!
Jessica of The Italian Dream shares with us more details on the shoot and all of the suppliers involved.
Enjoy lovelies and have the best weekend.

Citrus Romance…
Words by The Italian Dream
Everything started from the point that colour is what we need right now – too many lockdowns, too many rainy days. How easily can a pop of colour change your mood? With this firmly set in my mind, I have been developing my vision of this romance from the citrus hues, mixing some evergreen English classics (like the lampshades that come up on the backdrop and even the table scape) to some authentic and unique young details – the pom pom hairband is a touch of happiness to this bridal look!
The reason why I have dared this opposite match is because I truly believe that couples need to create a bespoke experience for themselves and their guests – and if this means breaking the rules, well..it needs to be done!
Spring details have been brought to life through vibrancy, texture and boldness. The colour palette plays between shades of blush, orange, tangerine, living coral and soft peach contrasted with a pop of hot pink to give a touch of fierce.
Textures have a very important role in this shoot – the outfits have been accurately chosen following this point: we have been lucky enough to have two Bowen Dryden outfits to work with which have been able to translate this vision in movement and richness while they stand out from the surrounding backdrop.
We really aim to inspire couples not to shy away from bright colours but to use layers of colours to make their magical day fresh and fun.
