Amy and Rob’s beautiful September barn wedding took place at The Barn at Bury Court in Bentley, Hampshire last year.
The couple were inspired in every aspect of styling the day by wildflowers, from the Best Woman and Brideswomen dresses, to the colourful windflowers bouquets and the cake, which was beautifully decorated with pressed flowers.
We’re delighted that the lovely and talented Amy of Especially Amy captured these images. London based wedding photography Amy is a Love My Dress recommended supplier – you can see more of her work here – as is London bridal boutique, Blackburn Bridal, where the bride discovered her floral wedding dress.
The venue inspired our wildflower theme that ran through the whole wedding – from the stationery to the bridal party dresses, aisle meadow flowers and cake.
A Blackburn Bridal Dress
My dress was from Blackburn Bridal in Blackheath. Russel was amazing and created a bespoke dress for me – the silhouette of one gown, with the leaf lace fabric from another.
When falling in love with the venue and creating a wildflower theme, I was always looking for a dress with botanical lace to compliment everything.
I took my mum to Jo Malone to pick out a scent to wear and for a candle to burn whilst getting ready. I chose Poppy & Barley to go with the wildflower theme.
I wore simple and understated pearls from Lily & Roo. My headband was from Victoria Harper Bridal on Etsy and my shoes were from Clarks. I have big feet, so shoes are always a challenge! I switched into bespoke Vans that had the wildflower design from the stationery printed on later in the day.
Photography by Especially Amy
We chose Amy of Especially Amy for her unobtrusive and romantic portfolio. Rob used to work with Amy’s husband and so we felt reassured to choose someone we knew through association during the pandemic.
From the first time we spoke to Amy, she put us at ease and took a real interest in us and our story. We also chose to do a practice shoot in Richmond Park which was so worth it – not only did Amy keep us relaxed and engaged the whole time, but we also learned the shots we did/didn’t like for the big day.
On the day itself Amy was amazing – she really took charge, without being over-bearing, we felt 100% confident that we were going to get the best pictures to capture our day. And we were right.
