With the table cloths they chose to bring the rock element in by using black and velvet, and for the classic feel chose to use the beautiful elegance of lace which was tea stained. We love a bit of dark boho so I brought along my antlers for the florals to nestle amongst, used some feathers to accentuate the place settings and scattered a little Fools Gold to catch the eye.</span></p> <p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><img src="../blogimages/46975812/mceu_33687789711653567449493.jpg"></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">Wanting to keep a strong rock theme running throughout so the placemats and the table numbers were hand painted EPs. </span></p> <div><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><img style="width: 1172px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/46975812/pretty-and-punk0191-rock-n-roll-bride-wedding-inspiration-dorset-wedding.jpg" height="768"></span></div> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: raleway;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><!-- [if !supportLineBreakNewLine]--></span></p> <p><span style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: raleway;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><!--[endif]--></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"> </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">When you have a theme for the couple and the tables it's important to keep that theme running throughout, so Roka Bella Rose also decorated the cake display, and the guest book and wedding card area. We are massive fans of unusual guest books, so for this shoot I sourced a handmade wooden guitar from Bear Guitars in Milton Abbas. Not only can you have your own guitar designed and made just for you, signed with lovely messages from your guests, and hung on your wall as a display piece and reminder of your special day, it is actually a fully functional guitar too. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><img style="width: 1152px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/46975812/pretty-and-punk0171-rock-n-roll-bride-wedding-inspiration-dorset-wedding.jpg" height="768"></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">We LOVE that they used an old 1954 Dansette record player with a hand painted record in a stand which was made to instruct guests to sign the guitar, and used a hand painted LP to let guests know where to leave their cards. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">Liz Cooper, The <a title="Wedding Hair Stylist" href="https://www.facebook.com/theartfulhairstylist/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><u>Artful hair stylist</u></a> based in Hampshire who created 2 gorgeous looks (and the leather jacket!) to show that you can be a rock & roll bride with your hair up and down. The gorgeous hair pins by Victoria Louise Accessories brought the perfect finishing touches!</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><img style="width: 1024px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/46975812/pretty-and-punk0016-rock-n-roll-bride-wedding-inspiration-dorset-wedding.jpg" height="1536"></span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;"><img style="width: 1028px; display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="../blogimages/46975812/1580938043.jpg" height="1541"></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">The Orangery Suite is a wonderfully unique venue for the perfect English country garden wedding. </span><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">With its intimate elegance and relaxed surroundings, The Orangery Suite is a stunning and affordable venue for outdoor wedding ceremonies, and receptions. </span><span style="font-family: raleway; font-size: 12pt;">It is an historic venue with a contemporary twist.
