INSPIRATIONAL EDITORIAL - Something Blue: An Outdoor Summer Wedding Editorial By Miss Carlysle And Co, Captured By Victoria Mitchell Photography At The Barn At Brookend Green Farm, Bedfordshire

26th September 2020


INSPIRATION - Something Blue: An Outdoor Wedding Editorial By Miss Carlysle And Co, Captured By Victoria Mitchell Photography At The Barn At Brookend Green Farm, BedfordshireToday's shoot is based at The Barn at Brookend Green Farm with a talented bunch of suppliers coming together to support each other during this difficult time for everyone. 

Due to the pandemic, outdoor wedding planning is on the up; The Barn at Brookend is able to offer outdoor weddings within their woods, orchards, meadows and beside the lake. The vision for the shoot was an elegant style with a dusty blue colour palette; blue is a divine colour and fits in weddings all year round. The light and airy images from Victoria Mitchell really add to the overall effect, of a fresh and relaxed style.

The pretty orchard gave a relaxed vibe for the table setting. Beth from Miss Carlysle and Co worked her magic with tableware and prop hire from Wren Prop Hire, showing how you can effectively style your reception tables without excess. Simple blue & grey table runners, with tall blue candles on clear candlesticks, are such a wonderful addition to a table, giving off a warm glow in the evening of your wedding day. Dusty blue napkins were added, completing the look with the silver cutlery and silver-rimmed chargers. Foliage and florals were draped down the middle of the table, in an organic yet relatively minimalist way. 

As well as all this gorgeous inspiration, Beth has shared some top tips of hosting an outdoor wedding:

  1. Have a Plan B: Especially in England, the weather is not always on our side. Rain is a possibility. Have you considered renting a tent? A tipi or a marquee? Just in case! Gives your guests the chance to remain cosy and warm if the weather turns. 
  2. Embrace Nature: Choose a beautiful setting such as the Barn at Brookend, being able to decorate the tree branches and surrounding areas. You have zero pressure with an outdoor wedding, the scenery speaks for itself. 
  3. Vision: Create a vision and follow it. From the colour palette to the style. 
  4. Outdoor Furniture: Hire furniture such as sofas (for a lounge area), picnic area, hay bales and so much more! Works really well for the summer nights. 
  5. Tell Your Guests What to Expect: Gives them the chance to dress correctly, no heels, and don't forget a jacket!
