A Styled Shoot depicting a rustic British countryside wedding.
Inspired and Designed by 504 - Events and Laura Skye Photography.

When asked to envision their dream wedding, what came to Charlie & Ivana’s mind
was the thought of a blend of rustic, bohemian, and British countryside. I pictured Ivana
walking down the aisle by pampas grass effortlessly swaying in the wind while Charlie would
be waiting for her under a floral adorned wooden wedding arch.
In order to bring this bohemian fantasy to life, I had the idyllic backdrop in mind:
Lillibrooke Manor, a 15-acre estate located just outside of London. The Great Barn made the
perfect home for a picturesque candle-lit dinner delicately illuminated by the rays of the setting
sun. The decor was inspired by Ivana’s favourite flowers, cabbage roses, and Charlie’s
preference for earthy tones. Fleur de la Couture, the florists, brought their vision to life
through the design of the floral arrangements. The contrast created by the structured wooden
beams and elegant decor brought elements of rustic and bohemian flare. All of these elements
came together in the creation of an enhanced barn with accents of gold found in the name
cards, candelabras and tableware.
Through visual storytelling, the photographer, Laura Skye, succeeded in narrating the
couple’s intimate wedding via a series of frames through which she was able to capture the
essence of their romance and the whimsical setting of the barn. The bride selected her dress
from the Evie Young Bridal Collection featured by Tala Daniel Bridal Boutique, which
perfectly blends an elegant yet country-chic look and showcases a detailed pattern of ivory
lace over a latte, dusty pastel pink. Her look was completed by a gentle make-up that
accentuated her natural facial features pairing it with a hairstyle that boasts her natural curls.
The groom opted for a minimalist look tailored by Harry Brown Menswear: a black coloured
suit with an unbuttoned white shirt and a buttonhole featuring white ruscus and piumetta
flowers. To memorialise this event, Mark Brooks, the videographer, put together a short film
that captures the collection of elements that went into fulfilling Charlie & Ivana’s vision of their
bohemian countryside wedding.
As their wedding planner, I incorporated the couple’s rustic and bohemian style through the
use of various elements of lighting, floral decor and design. With every wedding, I prioritise
the story my clients wish to tell and assemble the best team of professionals to assist me.
