INSPIRATIONAL EDITORIAL - A Luxury Ethical Micro-Wedding Concept From London Paper Crafts, Captured At The Barn At Avington By Roshni Wedding Photography

15th February 2021


INSPIRATIONAL EDITORIAL - A Luxury Ethical Micro-Wedding Concept From London Paper Crafts, Captured At The Barn At Avington By Roshni Wedding PhotographyHosted by The Barn at Avington near Winchester, Janine of London Paper Crafts brought together a diverse team of wedding vendors to create this beautiful editorial. It perfectly illustrates how ethical wedding design and production can also be luxurious: 

“I created the editorial using a trans-seasonal palette with a focus on romantic and fluid details. My objective is to show that there is real beauty in recycled and ethically produced weddings; be it with micro-weddings as captured in our editorial, or for larger scale weddings when the time allows. 

Our gentle palette of dusky pink, striking blue with whimsical touches of gold showcases the beauty and luxury in environmentally friendly weddings, and it featured a stunning range of recycled and sustainable materials and production.”

The hard work of all the collaborators was luminously captured by Roshni Wedding Photography.

The Bride

The wedding dress created by Lisa Carrington Couture started life as a 1970s fluted-sleeve, dated dress. Lisa deconstructed it and produced an elegant upcycled modernised design, featuring 3D flowers on the flowing skirt - even the buttons were recycled from another garment.

The outfit was completed with embroidered floral shoes by Diane Hassall, rings by Riari J'Dorn Diamonds, and a statement bridal bouquet by Blossom Co Floral Design featuring naturally dyed ribbons by Lancaster & Cornish.

The Stationery

"Everything we do has sustainability in mind – we aim to be as environmentally friendly as we possibly can, so we only use recycled or recyclable FSC paper stock in our designs. We see this as an ever-evolving process which we continually work to improve.

When designing the stationery for our Luxury Ethical shoot, I wanted to highlight the beauty of an environmentally friendly wedding featuring a range of recycled and sustainable materials and production with romantic and fluid details. To complement the palette of dusky pink, blue and gold, along with the fluid details of the other elements of the shoot, I used a beautiful recycled wavelike textured paper for the stationery. The minimalist invitation suite features a modern flowing script text with touches of foliage and was finished with hand-dyed silk and gold ribbon by Lancaster and Cornish. It’s subtle, but throughout the design of the shoot, you’ll see flowing details in everything from Anna Lewis’s beautiful cake to Lisa Carrington’s repurposing of a vintage wedding dress resulting in a beautiful ethereal aesthetic.                                                                           

We love the design of the stationery so much that we’ve decided to include it in our EverGreen Collection which is environmentally friendly (but you wouldn’t know it) and is coming to our customisable invitation suite range very soon."
