Featuring a blue and yellow colour palette, this styled shoot gives the ultimate al fresco vibes Images courtesy of Cherrelle Blake Photography PARTY Garden Nicola Raven, Norfolk Bound, shares how this styled shoot came together at Little Massingham Manor. “The inspiration for this shoot came from the estate itself. Little Massingham Manor feels like a place that belongs to a slower, more peaceful world. Surrounded by 63 acres of Norfolk countryside, formal gardens and wildflower meadows, the manor has the rare ability to feel both elegant and wonderfully welcoming. Rather than competing with the setting, we wanted to celebrate its natural beauty. “Our vision was a relaxed garden party wedding – the kind where guests drift effortlessly between a beautiful marquee and the gardens, with the celebration unfolding naturally throughout the day. We wanted it to feel sophisticated yet informal, allowing the surroundings to shine. “The colour palette was inspired by Norfolk in spring, combining soft blues with creamy yellows. Cornflower and forget-me-not tones echoed the skies and wildflowers, while butter and ivory florals complemented the manor’s warm honeycoloured stonework. Everything was designed to feel organic and understated. “The formal gardens provided structure and elegance, while the woodland edges introduced a softer, wilder element. Together they created the perfect balance, showing how weddings here can feel beautifully styled without ever losing their sense of authenticity. “Little Massingham Manor is one of those venues that does so much of the work for you. Its beauty speaks for itself – all we had to do was capture it.” STYLED SHOOT 37
