It was such a pleasure to work on this collaborative shoot. Brought together by some very talented wedding suppliers. The theme juxtaposed a romantic vintage bohemian style with a sense of the ethereal.

Our shoot took place within the North and East wing of Northcourt House.  Despite its many impressive grand rooms this wonderful Jacobean manor house has a warm, homely feel with large tranquil gardens harmonising beautifully with the surrounding environment.

In the low Winter sunlight, we got some wonderful shots, expertly captured by Lucy Boynton Photography.

Flowers taking centre stage

Bembridge Flower Shop opulently adorned our peacock chairs and vintage milk churns with a rich colour pallet of purples and plums that contrasted luxuriously against green foliage. The beautiful bridal bouquet, hand tied with a delicate floaty ribbon completed the romantic floral decadence and chimed beautifully with our styling and colour scheme.

Coronavirus Appeal National Emergencies Trust

Due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Botanical Vintage’s event hire items are currently sitting in storage waiting to be wonderfully styled for a fabulous occasion! So, we decided that we would put it all to good use while raising some much-needed funds for a great charity.

During 2020, there will be no set hire fee for many of the items in our inventory. Instead, we are asking for donations to the National Emergencies Trust Coronavirus Appeal via our gofundme page which can be found here:

Times are tough, weddings on the island have been postponed this year and budgets are stretched. So once lockdown measures are lifted so that some weddings and events can take place, we would love to help!

We have a skilled eye for spotting statement vintage pieces and have an amazing collection of 70s peacock chairs, velvet chairs and a huge stunning wicker peacock double love seat. We also have some great creative options for cake tables with a selection of glassware, rugs, candlesticks and other props that add beautiful detail.
Thank you to wedding stylists Proper Vintage who have also kindly offered to include a selection of fabulous props from their hire inventory to help raise funds for this charity. Please contact them for a booking www.propervintageiow.com
