TIME for tea

This styled shoot at The Shireburn Arms is full of inspiration

Agroup of local suppliers worked together to create this quintessential tea party theme without it being too on the nose. “We wanted to use pale yellows and blues with a touch of green and cream,” says Sarah Nowak from The Shireburn Arms. “The rectangular, unclothed tables reflected the garden feel and the florals created a light, breezy atmosphere. Jennifer and I worked closely to create the aesthetic and contacted individual suppliers, who all added to the day. The ice cream bike and teacups added the final country feel along with the gorgeous cake design. We felt that the pictures of the bride and her mum were a fresh take on the important people of the day; both looked beautiful with natural hair and make-up and stunning dresses that fit the theme.”
