The concept was Mediterranean rustic luxe. “We wanted to showcase another side to the English country wedding, beyond bunting and hay bails; creating a feeling of relaxed luxury and elegance alongside the effortless glamour of the Mediterranean,” Holly explains. To complement the stunning gardens at Maunsel, they chose a gentle base of white and warm neutrals, accented with dusky blue, olivehued greenery and pops of bolder lavender blues and violets to add depth. Holly continues, “We wanted every small detail and element of the shoot to evoke a sense of quality and luxury, which when combined offers an opulent, beautifully created look.” 58
