I reached out to Plymouth-based wedding photographer Rebekka Werren when I saw this gorgeous model couple on her instagram.

Luna and Scott have a beautiful connection which brings real magic to this styled photoshoot. The vibe is Italian summer, the location is incredible; the images are bursting with love and promise.

Inspired by the warmth and charm of the Italian Riviera, this editorial shoot brings a touch of Mediterranean romance to the South West coast of England. Set against the dramatic shoreline of Plymouth, Devon, it captures the essence of a sun-drenched celebration — where citrus tones, elegant bridal fashion, and effortless styling come together in perfect harmony.


I’m looking for styled photoshoots and real weddings to feature on English Wedding – if you have something you’d love to share, don’t be shy: everything you need to know about my wedding blog submissions process is here!

This stunning concept was brought to life by the wonderful Dani from Acorn & Oak Weddings, whose creative vision and meticulous planning pulled together an incredible team of talented suppliers. Dani curated a bold and joyful design, blending vibrant colours, modern styling, and playful details to create a truly unique celebration.

From the statement florals and citrus accents to the luxurious tablescape and chic bridal looks, every element was carefully considered to reflect the concept’s modern, romantic energy. Thanks to her leadership and styling expertise, the team collaborated seamlessly to execute a day that was as stylish as it was full of personality.

 

The styling is bold, modern, and joyful, with a vibrant palette of hot pink, orange, and yellow. The tablescape features lush, colourful florals mixed with citrus fruits, soft candlelight, and gold-accented glassware. A magenta table runner ties everything together, creating a luxurious yet playful feel. The look is romantic, editorial, and full of personality—perfect for a couple wanting a stylish, standout celebration.

A vibrant, modern and luxurious shoot bursting with joyful colour ad bold personality. The palette blends hot pink, zesty yellow and a warm orange for a sun kissed, high-energy feel.

Glass and gold accents add a romantic, edgy twist. Styling includes flowing, architectural bouquets with trailing ribbons, modern bridal attire featuring dresses and a jumpsuit with statement bows, a citrus themed drinks table.

Couple shots include editorial and candid set against the backdrop of a dramatic floral arched cascade on the venue’s steps ideal for our champagne spray moment. The cake also ties in together the citrus and floral bright details to complete the look.

The ‘nighttime’ shots feature neon lights and an audio guestbook which all tie back to the modern colourful theme.

The fashion was a mix of modern styles and elegant and fun which included a white wide leg jumpsuit, a form fitting white gown with an open back finished with a huge bow, a stunning gown with a high slit on one side adding a modern touch to a traditional silhouette, a short strapless cocktail dress with a asymmetric hemline; a playful and party ready night time option, and finally a glitter gown a stunning silhouette completed with all all over glimmer.

The shoot was finished off with a wonderful champagne spray; shot in front of the venue down the flower adorned front steps.

One of my absolute fave photo opportunities on a wedding day, that really radiate so much fun throughout the short stint of the spray; full of fun and energy

Let’s begin this week with some beautiful styling inspiration from the heart of France’s Champagne region, shall we? I’m proud to share styled photoshoots with inspiration for couples, so you can discover wedding suppliers’ creativity and get ideas for your own wedding look. As always, I want to be super clear that this is a photoshoot, not a wedding – the aesthetic designed with heart and soul, to showcase the work of some incredibly talented artisans working in the wedding sphere.

Images are by photographer Arnaud Gratia, and the photoshoot was curated by lovely Meggan, wedding planner at D Day Wedding Planner Champagne-Ardenne.

In the heart of the Champagne vineyards, this editorial shoot celebrates the effortless elegance of a wedding imagined as a suspended moment, where refinement meets lightness. Inspired by the strong identity of its region, the D Day Wedding Planner – Champagne-Ardenne team wanted to capture the essence of Champagne: a land of effervescence, lifestyle, and craftsmanship.

Overlooking the vineyards, the iconic Château de Sacy provides the perfect backdrop for a timeless love story, with a soft, sunlit, and subtly vintage feel reminiscent of romantic cinema.

Every detail was carefully designed to honour local artisans: a flowing gown with modern lines, an elegant suit tailored for the occasion, and rings created just for this day.

The style remains simple but expressive, with natural textures, golden highlights, and champagne and blush tones that echo a summer evening’s light. Each element reflects the region, its generosity, and understated elegance.

A wedding imagined as a waking dream — simple, authentic, and deeply rooted in its terroir.



It felt perfectly fitting to share this luxe wedding fashion editorial from Croatia as the summer wedding season reaches its heights right now! Join me for sunny, beautiful climes and admire this fabulous creative photoshoot by some of Croatia’s finest.

The venue is Villa Borgo Lapis in Višnjan, a stunning Istrian estate nestled among vineyards. Take inspiration from the styling touches and creative elements all curated by local creatives, designed to showcase emerging wedding trends for the 2025 and 2026 seasons.

As always, I’ll share my favourite images from the photoshoot on instagram at @englishweddingblog, and do check out all of the suppliers’ own instagrams to see much more from this beautiful collaboration!

With a full cast of groomsmen and bridesmaids, this almost looks like a real wedding – but it’s important to be really clear that the people you see are models, and this is a curated photoshoot for everyone involved to showcase their best work and inspire you lovely lot with some ideas you might love for your own, real weddings! I hope you love it as much as we have.


The superb images are all by photographer Marko Dušak, owner of Spinaker Graphics studio. The concept for the wedding styling was brought to life in collaboration with Željka Dušak, florist and founder of Vaza I Cvijet floral design studio; Mario Petek, owner of men’s formalwear boutique Suitbox; and Jasna Matok, founder of women’s bridal boutique ‘I Do Weddings‘.

With our thanks to Kristina for sharing these images and her lovely write up of the day!

Floral arrangements by ‘Vaza i Cvijet’, created by Željka Dušak, reflected the villa’s rustic elegance through a delicate palette of pastel hues and thoughtful details such as soft candlelight, fostering a warm and intimate atmosphere.

Photographer Marko Dušak, Spinaker Photograpy, adopted an editorial fashion photography style to capture the event, crafting visual narratives that conveyed the mood, ambiance, and emotion of the day. He praised the seamless collaboration among all partners and the high level of professionalism on set.

Mario Petek unveiled a sophisticated collection of men’s formalwear, ranging from classic tuxedos to daring designs featuring bold patterns, chains, and sequins, perfectly complementing the refined ambience of Villa Borgo Lapis.

Mario emphasized the importance of a personalized approach for each client and predicted that burgundy coloured suits will dominate the upcoming wedding season.

Jasna Matok of ‘I Do Weddings’ highlighted the emotional significance of selecting the perfect wedding dress, advocating for a deeply personal and meaningful experience.

The featured models showcased elegant, luxurious bridal gowns that harmonized beautifully with the villa’s romantic, rustic setting.

If you’re feeling all the summer vibes and dreaming of a coastal, beach wedding look, today’s blog is for you. I’m so excited to share this wedding editorial photoshoot inspired by the laid-back ruggedness of the rocky cliffs and softly rippled sand of North Devon, and the olde worldy elegance of the Watersmeet Hotel.

The styling is perfect and the images are divine. And you know what? I adore wedding inspiration where the model couple have had fun. On this occasion, you will have to scroll all the way to the bottom of this blog (reading as you go, obvs – you don’t want to miss anything!) for those amazing sand in their toes moments. As beach wedding editorials go, this one’s pretty damn special. It’s also utterly gorgeous. (More on instagram later too! @englishweddingblog)

The stunning North Devon coastline and sun kissed skies make a breathtaking backdrop for any wedding. If coastal vibes and old world decadence are your thing, we have everything to inspire your wedding style right here, brought together by a talented group of Devon wedding creatives and captured beautifully by Freeform Images.

To inspire couples looking for that extra something, this talented group of local creatives joined forces to blend luxury and natural beauty in equal measure. With soft sand, cream tones, and subtle hues of blue they added touches of warmth and sophistication with subtle hues of mauve.

The floral design strikes a balance between modern elegance and natural charm, perfectly complementing the luxurious ambiance of the breathtaking Watersmeet Hotel.

Drawing inspiration from the coastal surroundings, a palette of blue and white echoes the sea, featuring striking delphiniums and lush statement roses. Subtle accents of apricot ranunculus and antique blush carnations offer a soft nod to the sandy shoreline. The bridal bouquet is a lavish composition, rich in blooms and artfully layered with foliage chosen to mimic the gentle sway of seaweed beneath the waves.

With luxe at the forefront of the design tables are kept simple and elegant with white linen cloths and cascading beige runners. The hammered antique candlesticks add a bit of rocky texture and are mounted with pops of blue and cream candles to coordinate with the water themed wedding aesthetic.

A showstopping floral installation graces the fireplace, creating an unforgettable focal point for the ceremony. Thoughtfully designed with versatility in mind, this arrangement transitions beautifully into a grounded floral arch for a romantic beachside celebration.

The stationery captures a luxe coastal feel with a modern twist and a little sea shell fun on the side.

Emma Louise Castle created a suite using soft blue watercolour washes with hand drawn sea shells, soft edges and textured paper for stationery which calls out to the ocean. To add in a modern and fun twist alongside the more traditional feel she used a clam shell template to cut the menus and save the date and added a little hint of a classic beach deck chair stripe in the background as well, giving a serious nod to the stunning coastal location.

The hairstyling for this styled shoot was a nod to modern, refined elegance. Two looks were created, the first a half-up half-down with a Hollywood wave incorporated. Soft, face-framing pieces cascaded around Coral’s face to enhance her natural beauty. The highly polished top section pulled back tightly to complement the modern look. Accessories are kept simple yet sophisticated with a simple pearl headband by The Lucky Sixpence. This works beautifully with a bespoke pair of simple floral stud earrings with pearl drops.

The second hairstyle was starkly different, a far more whimsical high bun with lots of Tendrills cascading to create dimension and to pick up on the adorning accessories, a statement pearl art deco / nouveau pair from The Lucky Sixpence’s latest collection.

For the groom’s look taking inspiration from the coastal colours and textures, the Marc Darcy stone suit, with its cool tone and texture was the perfect choice to blend with the location and theme.
