A Characterful Brewery Wedding Venue

Fauna Brewery in Arundel is set in a restored Victorian engine shed, full of industrial charm and original details. With its mint-green brickwork, hand-built bar, and open kitchen, the space feels warm, welcoming, and totally unique.

Keshira Creative Events told us: “The brewery in Arundel added the perfect backdrop. It’s full of character, with its industrial charm and relaxed atmosphere. Combining that with natural textures, warm tones, and good food and drink just made sense. It felt like the kind of wedding day where guests would genuinely feel at ease.”

Bread Centrepieces

This shoot started with a bold, brilliant idea: “what if we swapped flowers for bread?” The result? A tablescape that’s rustic, romantic, and completely unforgettable.

“I wanted to create something that felt different, but still really connected to what matters – people, stories, and shared experiences. Bread is such a comforting, familiar part of life, and there’s something lovely about using it as a centrepiece for a wedding. It brings people together, it’s handmade, and it feels honest.” Keshira Creative Events told us.

The loaves were sourced from local bakeries and farm shops, chosen for their shape, colour, and texture. Keshira Creative Events styled the tablescape, bringing together soft linens, splatter-painted plates, and flickering candlelight to create a relaxed, soulful vibe. Each place setting was finished with a bespoke napkin, hand-embroidered by Studio Brice especially for the shoot.

Relaxed Wedding Outfits You Can Have a Beer In

Shirin’s outfit was a perfect match for the brewery’s raw, industrial charm. Designed by House of Ollichon, the two-piece felt like a fresh take on bridal wear – modern and easy, yet still utterly special.

Keshira Creative Events said, “Choosing a two-piece outfit for the bride felt instinctive. It suited the setting – a working brewery full of natural textures and industrial edges – but also reflected the kind of energy I wanted to bring into the shoot: effortless, confident, and comfortable.”

It wasn’t about being overly formal or stuck in tradition. Shirin needed something she could really live in – move around, dance, maybe even grab a pint without worrying about her outfit. That’s exactly what this look was made for. It felt easy, confident, and totally her.

Her hair and makeup, styled by ID Makeup Hair & Beauty, kept that effortless vibe going. Soft waves framed her face, while fresh, natural makeup with warm lips and gentle brown eyeshadow added just the right finishing touch.

Richard looked sharp yet effortlessly stylish in a three-piece suit from Hector’s Clothing. The tailored trousers, single-breasted jacket, and waistcoat combined classic menswear with a modern edge – perfect for a brewery wedding that’s both relaxed and refined. He paired the suit with a crisp white shirt and a burnt orange tie that added a subtle pop of colour. Finishing the look, brown boots gave it a grounded, approachable feel.

Hectors Clothing is all about timeless pieces you can wear again and again, designed with attention to detail and comfort. This outfit struck just the right balance – smart without being stiff, allowing Richard to feel confident and at ease throughout the day.

Relaxed Wedding details

Bouquets & Buttonholes

Maia’s Flowers created a striking yet simple bouquet for Shirin – three white anthurium blooms paired with trailing amaranthus. The look was elegant without being fussy, perfectly echoing the natural textures and understated style of the brewery setting.

For Richard, a single anthurium with matching amaranthus added a bold and stylish touch to his look, while still coordinating beautifully with Shirin.

Jewellery to Complement Your Relaxed Wedding Style

Shirin’s look was kept simple but meaningful with jewellery from Timothy Roe Fine Jewellery. She wore gold pearl drop earrings, a matching necklace, and layered a pearl bracelet with a diamond tennis bracelet – elegant but unfussy, and just the right amount of sparkle.

Richard wore knotted cufflinks that added a subtle finishing touch to his look – nothing too flashy, just a bit of polish.

Her engagement ring was a total standout. A vintage-style Padparadscha sapphire in rose gold and platinum, it added a soft pop of colour that tied in perfectly with Richard’s burnt orange tie. Her wedding band had both polished and satin finishes – a modern twist that suited the relaxed, personal feel of the day.

Hand drawn Stationery

Auntie Roo’s Stationery created hand-drawn invitations, menus, and playful banners that perfectly matched the relaxed brewery wedding vibe. The designs added personality and charm, setting a warm, inviting tone for Shirin and Richard’s day.

Cake alternative - A Macaron Tower

An eight-tier macaron tower from Mademoiselle Macaron added a sweet finishing touch to this relaxed brewery wedding. Styled in shades of green, cream, and brown to complement the venue’s natural tones, it was a fun and elegant alternative to a traditional cake – perfect for a laid-back brewery wedding celebration with a bit of flair.

tHe Perfect Relaxed Vibe

The addition of Willow Avenue Band brought a wonderful party vibe to the shoot. Their acoustic mix of jazz, folk, and blues filled the brewery, bringing it to life just like it would be on its busiest day. The music created an atmosphere that was fun, relaxed, and full of energy.

Planner and stylist Keshira Creative Events said, “This shoot was a way to show that wedding styling doesn’t have to follow a set formula. It can be personal, creative, and totally your own. In the end, it was all about keeping it simple, thoughtful, and a little bit unexpected.”

Jason Williams Photography captured all of this with a natural, storytelling style. His candid shots and warm tones perfectly reflect the genuine joy and effortless vibe of a relaxed brewery wedding – creating memories that feel as alive and authentic as the day itself.
