A gypsy caravan conjures thoughts
of exotic adventure, beguiling music
and rich colours. This sumptuous
shoot captures the spirit of the
barefoot bride and groom, from
intimate ceremony to effortlessly
elegant reception.
Rocking a bold fringe and relaxed
updo, bride Annabelle wears a
statement pink lip from Issada
Cosmetics in Gigi and mineral
eye shadow in Yellow Diamond.
Delicate barefoot sandals featuring
Swarovski crystals and pearls
complement the lace detailing of
her gown. Her groom, Christopher,
is dressed in jewel toned suiting
paired with a textured tie and gold
wrapped boutonniere.
Framed by a natural branch arbour
draped with vintage scarves, a
serene ceremony space is created
using a collection of metal chairs
and tall brass planters filled with
lush ferns.
A stone’s throw away, a gypsy
caravan called Lily acts as a unique
backdrop for the couple’s gourmet
picnic reception. “We used layers
of rich fabric for depth and luxury,
with a mismatch of decor items
a gypsy would pick up in their
travels,” says The Palace and Co
stylist Olivia Maslen. A palette of
reds, pinks, lavender, gold, black
and opulent crystal ties the look
together.
A beautiful floral story is created
using roses, stocks, freesias,
hyacinths, tulips, ivy berries, wattle
foliage and garden picked varietals.
“The inspiration was wild opulence
and richly toned blooms that would
hold their own in contrasting
brassware,” says Chris Campbell
from Wild at Heart Flowers. “The
intention was to use a variety of
florals in the bouquet so there was
no single feature, adding to the
feeling of an eclectic mix of blooms
which resonated with our bride’s
free spirit.”
The celebration is complete with a
decadent wedding cake featuring
three delicious tiers adorned with
fondant swags, gold tassels and
edible jewels. Immerse yourself in
the details and enjoy this stunning
visual feast.
