Macramé and Wildflower Whimsical Wedding Inspiration

On this damp and dreary Friday afternoon, today I have a lovely burst of colour for you from Long Meadow Farm in Canada! This gorgeous, whimsical wedding inspiration shoot is set on a wildflower farm that is so full of lavender you can almost smell it. A stunning Truvelle dress and atmospheric smoke bombs add to the whimsical wedding theme. I love a boho bride with a strong lip, too. Hats off to the fabulous styling team with this one! Many thanks to regular contributor Rikvah Photography for the images today; you can also see her latest real wedding featured here.

About the shoot

I have wanted to shoot a lavender bridal for two years but couldn’t find a suitable place and missed the blooms. ! What was your inspiration behind it? Lavender was my ultimate wedding shoot inspiration because I love it so much. But I themed this shoot around the song Technicolor Beat by Oh Wonder. I had been trying to find a good medium between my light wedding shooting style and my darker editorial style, so I wanted a perfect medium…. and I did it!

An abundance of Herbs including Lemon Verbena, Rosemary and Lavender for a sweet summer scent and touches of Blueberries added a fun twist to the combination.
