Romantic starry skies and dark floral wedding inspiration from Holesfoot, Cumbria

It’s not often I get to blog an editorial I was a part of – so today I’m more excited than ever to share this stunning collaboration by the loveliest group of people I’m delighted to call friends. (They’re all incredible talents too!) I really hope this will inspire you to use colour to create a wedding look with real heart and soul! Ash from In The Meadow Floral Design came up with the gorgeous concept for this wedding look with rich, vibrant flowers full of texture and fun, in the most amazing colour palette. Images are by lovely, talented Lake District wedding photographer Hannah Hall Photography, at Holesfoot in the Eden Valley. My calligraphy plays a little part, dressed in purple and gold.

As soon as I spotted Holesfoot’s starry night sky installation on Instagram, I was completely enchanted and instantly knew it would be the most magical setting for a styled wedding shoot. And so, like so many couples do at the beginning of their wedding planning journey, I turned to Pinterest to help me gain further inspiration and realise my full vision.
My Pinterest board quickly filled with rich, luxurious dark purple florals, beautifully contrasted by unexpected pops of bright pink and golden mustard tones (not the most obvious palette choice for a Spring shoot). Led by this palette, I found myself drawn to images of moody, romantic atmospheres with soft candlelight, delicate textures, and dreamy, celestial details.
Whilst the vision for this shoot had become crystal clear, what had also become apparent was the need for very low light conditions, in order for this vision to truly come to life.
I’ll admit, I was uncertain if my idea was even possible (something to always be cautious of when using Pinterest for creative inspiration) – with my main concern being how this would all work from a photographer’s perspective. Thankfully, after reaching out to Hannah Hall Photography, she assured me it could be done—and beautifully so. With her expertise, the concept felt achievable, and I was even more excited to see it come to life.
And so to bring it to life, I began carefully selecting a team of insanely talented suppliers, who I knew could really help transform this concept into reality:
Hannah Hall Photography – a highly experienced and skilled photographer, who not only captured the most beautiful images but got really creative with those low-light conditions.
The JN Collective – these guys are absolute masters of capturing beautiful content, Nicola documented the shoot with incredible attention to detail, preserving those magical moments
Deborah Maria Wedding Styling – I chose Deborah for her incredible attention to detail, which I knew would make for the most breathtaking styling.
By Moon and Tide – whose elegant calligraphy and hand-drawn illustrations captured the celestial feel perfectly, helping to really elevate the feel of the shoot. The scroll place names and seating plan were absolutely exquisite, adding a beautifully bespoke touch.
Wren Cakes – a true artist when it comes to cake design, who can take any brief and create the most spectacularly stylish centrepiece
Raven Millinery – whose intricate headwear reflected the shoot’s luxurious yet playful feel—perfect for fun-loving, untraditional couples.
Megan Hartley – the most skilled makeup artist I know, who listened carefully to my atypical bridal brief and brought it to life with absolute perfection.
Emma Kelly – a boho hair wizard, recommended to me for her exceptional styling skills—and she absolutely delivered, creating an effortlessly romantic look.
Bridal Collection Lancaster – a super friendly, inclusive, down-to-earth bridal store with a stunning selection of dresses, making it easy to find the perfect gown to complement the ethereal theme.
Together, we crafted a scene that felt otherworldly—lush, atmospheric, and filled with a sense of cosmic romance.
