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!
