Set in flat, farmland, the location offered us exactly what we wanted for our shoot: a raw and unpolished backdrop which we could enhance to showcase our vision. We chose the unassuming farm specifically for its romantic and atmosphere and the colourful, textural details of old brick, corrugated steel and rusting metals.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p><img src="../blogimages/602971584/pretty-and-punk0143-industrial-wedding-inspiration-essex-wedding.jpg" style="width: 1151px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;"><b>Styling<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;">This working industrial farm was the inspiration for our shoot. The styling was designed to showcase the incredible backdrop and the transformational opportunities of such a venue. Our goal was to bring the textures and colours of the crumbling brickwork and corrugated metal to life, whilst softening and accentuating their own elemental beauty. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;">Our setting was styled with dark, romantic vintage furniture and curiosities throughout. Table settings of cut glass, brass and soft pink napkins were created on reclaimed trestle tables which overflowed with beautiful vintage roses and white veronica. Delicate place settings with wax seals completed this look which contrasted perfectly with the natural, structural materials of the barn. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;">A large, rustic installation took centre stage for the ceremony, based around a beautiful, rusting bench, the bespoke backdrop seamlessly tied together the tough textures and colours of the man-made with the softness of the vintage fabric of the bride's dress. The most romantic of flowers, including a variety of mixed roses and hydrangeas were with combined with foraged foliage, ivy, ferns and berries from the surrounding area to root the bride in her surroundings.</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 115%;"><img src="../blogimages/602971584/pretty-and-punk0136-industrial-wedding-inspiration-essex-wedding.jpg" style="width: 1151px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left; line-height: 115%;">The feathery bouquet combined mixed vintage roses, wild clematis, and eucalyptus with gathered natural grasses was created by <a href="http://www.outoftheearth.co.uk/" target="_blank"><u>Out of the earth Bespoke Florist</u></a>. In the hay barn a mix of the bouquet flowers was used with the introduction of dahlias, snow berries, Amaranthus (also known as love lies bleeding) and ivy for a natural, tumbling effect. A romantic printed flag softened the hay backdrop further with its slogan, 'In all the world there is no heart for me like yours</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;">Our elegant, romantic cake with its deep blue marbled base, shimmering black, middle tier and magical floating top tier fitted our textural theme and created a stunning centre piece which allowed the elements of the location to shine through.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center; line-height: 115%;"><o:p></o:p><img src="../blogimages/602971584/pretty-and-punk0125-industrial-wedding-inspiration-essex-wedding.jpg" style="width: 1024px;"></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;"><b>Fashion/Beauty<o:p></o:p></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;">Our contrasting looks were heavily inspired by our beautiful models. <o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify; line-height: 115%;"><i>Look 1 (Nicola):</i> Our model was dressed in a beautiful floor length, vintage satin, brocade gown.
