A wedding on a stunning organic farm complete with a beautifully restored red and yellow gypsy wagon…if only such a place existed.  It does, and to showcase this beautiful wedding venue deep in the heart of Wales, a group of local suppliers got together to produce a beautiful autumn inspired wedding shoot.

The shoot was held at Welsh Green Weddings and was brought together by Sue Fyfe-Williams of Aunties Vintage China, and Venetia Norrington of Firetop Photography, taking seasonal inspiration from the autumnal hedgerows.  Sue told me, “The venue has huge versatility and we wanted to portray the breadth of options in the photoshoot.”

Welsh Green Weddings is a unique and magical wedding venue offering picturesque views, a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, and lots of romance.  In 2011 the Old Dairy was licensed for wedding ceremonies, making it ideal for couples wanting to have their marriage and reception all in one place.

Along with a variety of local Welsh suppliers, the wedding gowns were provided by Julie Dutton, a dressmaker and member of The Natural Wedding Company directory, who specialises in eco couture.  The gowns are made from bamboo silk, organic silk and recycled lace.

Other details included Welsh lovespoons: “We wanted to weave in traditional Welsh touches, such as the lovespoons, which are traditionally handcrafted by the groom for his bride, and make beautiful wedding favours.”  We have a lovespoon hanging above our bed, carved with our initials given to us by my granny – they are such beautiful keepsakes.

It is lovely to see a wedding photoshoot inspired by a seasonal landscape and featuring so many wonderful local suppliers.  It’s also lovely to see one featuring two of the businesses listed on The Natural Wedding Company directory – Welsh Green Weddings and Julie Dutton – do check them out.  Finally, a huge thanks to Sue and Venetia, who also work collaboratively, for allowing me to share this photoshoot with you all.
