This BEAUTY of a shoot landed in my inbox this morning. I’d been planning to write about my calligraphy for weddings today, but all the lush greenery and the connection between Rae and Grey just blew me away. I couldn’t wait to share this! If houseplants are your thing, and the thought of bringing nature inside for your big day sounds amazing, you will LOVE this styled photoshoot!

The amazing wedding suppliers who brought this photoshoot to life include lovely Mercedes from 4YaParty Weddings & Events and Eastbourne’s fabulous Thorn & Found Photography.

This stunning botanical disco wedding with a touch of rustic décor compels a new inspiration for modern weddings.

This beautifully designed concept by 4yaparty also creating décor and props for this styled shoot was a perfect match to Kingswood Arts, a not-for-profit arts centre and cultural hub venue dedicated to supporting its local community through creativity. Based in a stunning 32 room mansion this space was perfect to help create an ultimate rustic disco themed wedding.

Our models, real life couple Rae and Grey portrayed a romantic story within the old halls of this building, beautifully showcasing the designs from each wedding supplier.

Our bride was fashioned with two timeless dresses provided by Couturiosity, paired with inspiring jewellery from Bish Bosh Becca. Hair and makeup from Made up by Ruby was a match made in heaven to bring together our bridal look. Bridal accessories provided by Glorious by Heidi include a stunning crown piece to elevate a classic look and bridal sunglasses for a touch of untraditional styling.

Our beautiful maid of honour Elle Andrews modelled a gorgeous jewel crusted emerald piece by L’Amour Curves Bridal which tied in exquisitely with the theme and décor of this wedding.

Speaking of décor, the floristry by Harleys Flowers finished our couple’s look with a blooming and abundant bouquet and buttonhole piece.

Table stationery tied together the look with unique designs by Twenty Stationery.

The cake by Simply Irresistible Cakes London was a perfect addition for our ceremony, making a wonderful centre piece for the cake table. Matching with earth colours and rustic design it pulled the décor into one.

The light and airy photography style was key to the story that Nick from Thorn and Found Photography wanted to showcase. Finding a photographer to match a certain aesthetic is always important when thinking about how you want to remember your special day.

Botanical Rustic Disco Wedding Style inspiration – an editorial photoshoot

By Claire Gould, 2 years ago

Hello lovely! Welcome to Monday, and to some amazing wedding inspiration with a sustainable vibe from lovely Mercedes at 4YaParty Weddings & Events. We are in LOVE with the flowers, the stunning cake, the cute-as-can be couple and the elegant styling touches. Oh, and including sustainable styling from cruelty free make up to home grown flowers is a MUST! Even the wedding outfits are pre-loved!

Enjoy this beauty of a shoot both here and on our insta. Over to Mercedes to explain how it all came together!

My vision for this wedding styled shoot was to show that rustic weddings can have a modern twist and be sustainable.

I also wanted to demonstrate fun ways to include our beloved pets that make up such a huge part of our families!

The location for this sustainable shoot was at a gorgeous new wedding venue in The Garden of England; Sevenoaks, Kent, named Great Budds House. It consists of a gorgeous rustic barn and beautifully kept grounds so there is enough space to put a marquee or tipi up too.

When it comes to the styling, 4YaParty Weddings & Events specialises in Rustic styling.

For this shoot I decided to bring a modern twist to it using glass charger plates, gold cutlery and glass goblets for the tablescape provided by Black Saucers Tableware. I decided on a deep forest green to bring the outdoors in with gold as the accent colour.

This shoot, just like our small business is inspired by sustainability using reusable decor, reclaimed wood picnic tables and upcycled and salvaged props and recyclable stationery. All filled with lush foliage inspired by the great garden of England that is Kent.

Keeping with the sustainable energy the outfits for both the groom and bride were pre-loved from Love it again Bridal and our bride model was flawlessly made up by our hair and makeup artist Natalie using cruelty free makeup.

The jewellery and hair pieces were handmade by Bish Bosh Becca and matched the vintage dress perfectly!

Our secondary focus for this shoot was on showing different ways you could include your four legged family members in your big day! We had a horse attend the ceremony and a variety of dogs attend our shoot including support from Here comes the hound.

Our pets are a huge deal to our families and with the help of a company such as Here Comes The Hound they can be a big part of our big day!

Did you see the dog lead? This amazing floral dog lead was by Eliza Rose Florist and it was a real beaut! Could you see your pup walking down the aisle with such a beautiful lead?

If you’re looking for a sustainable wedding that brings the outdoors in then don’t hesitate to contact any of the suppliers involved in this amazing shoot!
