Top Tips To Recreate This Colourful Wedding Look
don't hold back
Absolutely go for it! Don't be afraid of being different.
ADD YOUR PERSONALITY

Colourful Forest Wedding at sherwood glade
This colourful forest wedding was styled by Caz at The Wedding Alchemist. She’s a queen at using her alternative vision to really bring an idea to life. The colours pop so brilliantly against the backdrop of Sherwood Glade – a stunning alternative wedding venue on the outskirts of Nottingham. The untouched space is perfect for an outdoor shindig or a micro-wedding. One of their onsite tipis was decorated into a rainbow heaven for this pair to retreat to after their picnic!
It's in the details...
