I also love its authenticity; it provides a real-life couple as well as their little girl and supports numerous small, female-owned wedding businesses, one of these is. Tulle Blue founder, Jane Goldman, both conceived and curated this editorial, and her words follow…

"Our real couple, Issy and Josh, with daughter Orla – were because of getting married this August but sadly needed to postpone their wedding. It was lovely so that you can involve them within this shoot like a family 'bubble' as well as in some way replace with missing their very special day this season."

"The barns are stunning, with gorgeous architecture, intricate textures and patinas and mellow natural colors which inspired the color palette of nudes, shades of white and blush accented with vintage golds and copper. I wanted to create a theme which may blend using the surroundings – rustic, just a little vintage, luxe and classy with a relaxed and natural country feel."

"I decided on a combination of fresh, dried, and fun giant paper flowers to reflect a Prairie meadow which was styled by having an eclectic mixture of willow, brass, crisp white china, and clear perspex signage."

"These textures were softened using the lace and tulle from the wedding dresses, embroidered veils, and romantic accessories. I wanted to feature contemporary, rustic, and vintage elements and reveal that they could all be mixed along with clever styling."

"Milly, daughter of owner Lisi from Barns Yard owns an attractive horse, Bobby, and I was keen to involve him within the shoot so I decided to go having a Prairie/Boho/Country theme reflecting this season's informal wedding style. The vibe was among free-spirited romance, vintage and rustic having a nod to contemporary, relaxed, informal, and filled with joy."

"I needed to promote UK designers and I wanted several looks so selected a variety of gowns having a 70's /Boho vibe which featured opaque and translucent fabrics with pretty metallic, flower, and lace details."

"Issy would be a veiled beauty wearing embroidered veils produced from soft, floaty English tulle. One veil was inspired by the 1920's cap veils and featured hand-beaded vintage ivory lace. Another large veil was embroidered with birds and flowers and another with blush and pale gold leaf sprays with tiny blush velvet flowers." Click

"The color pattern was based on soft neutrals and shades of white accented with taupe, sand, copper, and vintage golds. These colors reflected the hues from the meadows all around the Barns and the late times of Summer. I wanted the shades to blend in seamlessly using their surroundings creating the Prairie look."

"Kate's flowers were designed to imitate the prairies – dried flowers and grasses included with fresh blooms. As the owner, she made a meadow of flowers that ran the length from the large guest table along with a hanging installation within the stalls that were used for that ceremony – most of the flowers and grasses are grown in their cutting garden."

"A combination of phlox, roses, cosmos, rudbeckia, corncockle, nigella heads, dahlias, gaura, achillea, and Ammi was arranged with Stipa grass, honesty, rue, pampas, miscanthus, gold sprayed euphorbia and meadow grasses to provide that just picked look."

"Just just for fun, Bekki made the most wonderful giant paper flowers – they were thrown into the mix to include an unexpected element towards the shoot. They were skilfully produced from Italian crepe paper coupled with impact with the addition of dimension and scale."

"The tablescape designs were set up by Amanda and Linda and a sizable table was arranged within the Threshing Barn using rustic trestle tables and limed cross back wooden chairs given by Eddie."

"The center from the table featured the meadow flowers and grasses complemented by white china, seagrass mats, and straightforward gold cutlery."

"A variety of glass tea light holders and contemporary gold candlesticks with blush, ivory, and toffee-colored candles added height and interest. The tea lights were lit to include a soft light effect towards the whole scene."

"A second smaller table for six guests was set up within the woodland and meadow area – it was especially lovely because the existing rusty metal arch was utilized to include a floral hanging installation which framed the table beautifully. Battling with high winds and surprise heavy downpours didn't deter the great suppliers from developing a mini-masterpiece."

"I always believe signage adds dimension to some wedding setup – I adore the talents of Jenni, as she always brings added beauty to some shoot."

"She made a dramatic perspex welcome sign with dried flowers, name tags for the tables along with a table sign, handheld signage as well as an incredible poem backdrop that was used for that ceremony. The poem was specially written to reflect the theme from the shoot and also the venue by Sally, who writes personalized poems for special occasions."

"Issy, our bride, in part of the mother and daughter team who made all of the incredible willows that were used at the time. Jenny and Issy grow much from the willow which is used to make a variety of artisan pieces. They brought along among their large pods, baskets and willow hearts which perfectly blended using the natural, the country feels from the theme."

"Due to the current restrictions I was unable to possess a makeup artist, so Issy our bride did her very own makeup at the time. She made a natural, sun-kissed look utilizing a neutral palette – a polished no constitute look evolved as the result and she looked amazing."

"The cake needed to be understated and informal so Pam made a delicious (yes we did eat it!!) two-tiered lemon sponge with lemon-flavored Swiss meringue – it was decorated with fresh and dried flowers with a few smaller paper flowers. This beautiful creation was displayed on a willow cake stand having a wreath of flowers and grasses."

"It's always so amazing whenever your vision involves life – huge thanks going towards the very talented team of suppliers who made this shoot possible!"
