Natural & Sustainable Spring Wedding Ideas

Where to start with the dream that is this afternoon’s inspiration wedding shoot. From the cooling colour palette with hints of amber, to the stunning styling of the two intimate reception settings, the bride and groom and the beautiful flowers with their wintry romantic vibe. We LOVE every single aspect of it. The photography is gorgeous, the venue is a delight and it is full of ideas that are perfect for an intimate spring wedding.

Put together by the genius that is Kylie Christie Events and captured to perfection by Olegs Samsonovs Photography, Timeless Spring is not only a visual masterpiece, it is also sustainable making it even more special. Kylie explains…

Our shoot was inspired by the early spring time when everything is starting to change and blossom. It was also about stripping things back and keeping everything natural and sustainable. There are natural dyed napkins and ribbons, raw wood signs, recycled wedding props and foraged flowers all sourced from the amazing Kentish wedding suppliers. We chose serene and earthy colours for this shoot – sage green, cream white with a splash of terracotta.

With Kent entering Tier 4 on Saturday, I would imagine the suppliers involved in this shoot will be worrying massively about what 2021 is going to bring for their businesses, and are most likely in need of a much needed boost right now. I hope sharing this will achieve that for them. I hope it serves as a reminder that they are all so incredibly talented and have so much to offer this awesome wedding industry we are all a part of. This shoot is testimony to that. Stay strong – we will all get through this.

Enjoy this thing of beauty lovely people and we will be back tomorrow with more gorgeous inspiration in the lead up to Christmas. Only 3 more sleeps!

Timeless Spring…

Our shoot took place at the Secret Garden’s vintage glasshouse. The vintage Glass House is suitable for smaller weddings and comes with its own private herb garden for alfresco dining. With plenty of natural light and rustic furniture look it was a perfect location for the shoot.

East Kent Flower Company created the most beautiful flower arrangements. She literally brought spring inside the glasshouse. There is a variety of very first spring blossom and some gorgeous dried flowers and foliage.

We asked the fabulous Kylie Christie if she could help with the styling on the day and were amazed how she put everything together.

We had a beautiful ceremony area with the neon sign “Happily Ever After”, which was decorated with two freestanding growing flower pieces by East Kent Flower Company, and some vintage Persian rugs from Boho & Bloom. The table featured lots of organic and natural elements – the cream table runner and napkins naturally dyed by the Natural Dyeworks in Faversham, recycled amber and ceramic pots were filled with the olive tree branches, dried flowers and Ester & Eric candles. Kylie also added a few terracotta pots which we found in the glasshouse and personalised seedball matchboxes wedding favours supplied by the lovely Seedball.

The fresh green and gold place names were created by the talented Jessica from Boards by Jess. Jessica also created beautiful personalised signs on the raw wood (welcome sign and gin bar sign).

The Boho lounge area was created by lovely Leah from Boho and Bloom and styled by Kylie Cristie with flowers from East Kent Flower Company.
To celebrate the beginning of the spring there had to be a gin bar and a colourful donut wall for some fun shots.

The dreamy spring stationery was designed and supplied by Heather Corthine Designs.

The Bridal Boutique of Jules supplied the dress and what a beauty it was. Hand embroidered with fresh green tones made a perfect gown for this shoot.

It was also all about the accessories – gorgeous shoes from Harriet and Wilde, handmade artisan earrings and crown from Miss Clemmie.

Hollie O’Connor Make Up Artist and Terri from Kent Bridal Hair did their magic on making the bride look effortlessly chic and flawless.

The handmade vine rings were made by Lawley Design. Featuring a beautiful natural green sapphire and totally unique as the vines never lay in the same place twice.
