How To Style A Modern Woodland Wedding
This modern woodland wedding shoot took place at the Two Woods Estate in West Sussex. The forest is adorned with luxury velvet linens, huge floral tablescapes and modern neon backdrops. The pinks and burgundies are super romantic, with pops of bright red adding the ‘wow’ factor. The wooden furniture and tall candles add to the warm feeling, and the bold flower arrangements really make a statement!




Modern, Elegant Wedding Looks
This pair just look gorgeous! We’re suckers for a burgundy suit, and the elegance of this wedding dress is just stunning. From the bride’s twinkling hairpieces to her sparkly shoes, these looks are full of gorgeous detail. Combine these looks with the redwood forest and you have a perfect modern woodland wedding!





A moment for the details…
A moment of appreciation for the gorgeous details in this shoot. The cake! The stationery! We love it allll!
