A OF PARADISE slice Let the al fresco Mediterranean rustic vibe of this local shoot transport you to sunnier climes this winter Images courtesy of James & Kerrie Photography With the rising popularity of outdoor ceremonies and receptions, shoot coordinator Holly Allman-Lopez of Ambience Venue Styling Bath and her team of wedding aficionados were keen to select a location that would prove the epitome of this trend, and Maunsel House fit the bill. 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
