The wedding industry has always amazed me with its creativity and talent, and today’s editorial shoot is a perfect example of that. The inspiration for this vision came from the stunning venue itself – Walton Hall in Cheshire, where industrial elements meet bohemian charm. As I delve into the details, it’s clear that the Pantone colour of 2019, Living Coral, was the guiding force behind this enchanting concept. Subtle touches of the vibrant hue can be seen throughout the shoot, from the delicate blooms to flawless makeup looks and even the sugar flowers adorning the concrete-effect cake.What truly caught my eye was the breathtaking flower installation that seemed to be growing organically against the wall it’s nestled against. And let’s not forget the show-stopping bouquet creation! The stylish dresses also deserve special mention, as they perfectly complemented the bohemian styling. Another standout element is the macramé backdrop – a true masterpiece.As I explore further, I’m drawn to the dapper groomswear, on-trend copper geometric stationery, romantic hairstyles, and beautifully set table. The entire shoot was expertly captured by Jo Bradbury Photography, giving us a glimpse into this stunning editorial. For those interested in learning more about the story behind the shoot, I recommend reaching out to stylist Pretty Creative for an inside look.
Natural Boho Industrial Wedding Ideas
Stylist – Pretty Creative
Located near my residence is a stunning historic hall and gardens that have been publicly accessible since its gifting by the previous owners. The property’s old stable block, remarkably unchanged from its past as the Lady of the Hall’s domain, has long fascinated me. When I heard that this space was being revitalized to host farmers markets, cinema screenings, and even weddings, my creative juices began to flow. I assembled a talented team of collaborators and we set out to transform the area into an idyllic wedding setting. Inspiration shoots like these offer the perfect opportunity to exercise our creative liberties.

Styling
The sprawling warehouse offered an ideal canvas for our creative vision, and we made the most of its generous proportions by crafting multiple backdrops that seamlessly merged natural, bohemian, and industrial elements. The coral tones served as a unifying thread throughout the space, which we explored at various times of day as the sun cast its unique glow.
The Dresses – Stelfox by Shikoba
The fashion highlights of the day were undoubtedly the exquisite gowns from Stelfox by Shikoba Bride, which offered an array of breathtaking styles to select from. The collection boasted a diverse range of fabrics, including delicate silks, intricate lace, flowing chiffon, and textured crepes, with separates and overlays complemented by dresses. This romantic bohemian aesthetic perfectly harmonized with the event’s surroundings.Not to be outdone, Dean’s groom attire was equally impressive, featuring a tie and waistcoat courtesy of Kaye Hannabuss textiles. The bespoke accessories and stunning fabrics used in these designs were truly showstopping, particularly the incorporation of liberty prints that added an extra layer of sophistication.
The Hair and Make up – Harry Jon
Charlotte’s styling session was expertly handled by Clare from Harry Jon, whose talents truly shone through in creating a cohesive look for the entire shoot. To maintain the theme, Charlotte’s makeup featured a soft, dewy finish with subtle pops of coral eye shadow. Her hair was kept effortlessly natural, with loose and flowing styles as well as some elegant up-dos to complement the various dresses. It’s clear that Clare is an absolute pleasure to work with, and her skills are truly valued by our team.
The Flowers – Living Colour Floral Design
The team at Living Colour Floral Design impressed everyone involved with their exceptional work on the brief. They arrived with a van full of beautiful foliage, flowers, and talented staff! The flower wall was truly breathtaking, with an overwhelming aroma that filled the air. The florists skillfully incorporated the coral and amber tones from the original design into the stunning bouquet, Charlotte’s flower crown, button hole, and table scape. These elements harmoniously contrasted with the brass candlesticks, grey metallic tones of the candles, plateware, and stationery accents. Meanwhile, the vibrant orange beer Kellar table and benches covered in silks by Willow and Curl Silks picked up on the coral tones once again, creating a visually striking scene.
