INSPIRATIONAL EDITORIAL - A Bohemian Celestial-Inspired Wedding Concept By Hojas De Amour, Captured By Sunny September Photography At Retiro Sambana

10th December 2021


INSPIRATIONAL EDITORIAL - A Bohemian Celestial-Inspired Wedding Concept By Hojas De Amour, Captured By Sunny September Photography At Retiro SambanaThis romantic styled shoot took place in the warm September sunshine of Southern Spain. Entitled ‘Moon of My Life’ by its coordinator, Esztella Kovacs of Hojas D’Amour, the boho styling was suffused with elegant celestial touches and eco-friendly ideas (principally focussing on keeping it local, reducing energy needs and materials used). Esztella explains:

“The inspiration came from wanting to convey the message that sustainability really is beautiful, both inside and out, showing the world that an eco-conscious wedding can be just as beautiful as a conventional one. You don’t need to sacrifice the beauty or the quality because it can be a stunning wedding with little impact on the planet.”

Well, we totally agree with that! 

The day was all the more magical as the real-life couple had had to postpone their wedding because of the pandemic, so the team were delighted to create this pre-wedding wedding shoot for them! It was beautifully captured by the aptly named Sunny September Photography at the stunning Retiro Sambana in Jaén, a beautiful villa with rustic charm surrounded by nature and outstanding views of the lake and countryside in Jimena.

Both wedding dresses worn during the shoot were made from sustainable materials by ethical designer Rembo Styling. The final sustainable touches were added with jewellery by Luz de Nehca.

The bridal bouquet by Lemonface Deco was a combination of fresh and dried locally grown flowers.
