Discover this glamorous and eco-friendly shoot at Newstead Abbey Images courtesy of Hannah Shearman Photography T his beautiful shoot was located at Newstead Abbey in Nottinghamshire and features a rich and opulent colour palette with teal green, pink and red shades. Shoot coordinator Samantha Withey at Willow and Rust Weddings pulled together a hard-working team of suppliers eager to showcase their skills and talent. She says, “I wanted to create something that matched my vintage-glamour aesthetic, while demonstrating how couples can create a luxurious looking event with more sustainable choices. “An eco-friendly company, ellie & liv, provided the stationery on the day and the team always works hard to ensure they use recycled and vegan papers and inks. “The dress was an ex-sample gown from The Wedding Boutique and the suit was from their hire collection. All of the props are from my hire range and are reused many times to ensure nothing is wasted while the glassware, vases and candlesticks are all vintage pieces collected from antique shops and second-hand stores. All table linens are made by natural fibres, including the rich silk and cotton velvets. “Helen from Willow & Bear used only British grown flowers and foliage, while sourcing as much as possible from local suppliers. Everything was hand-tied or arranged in water and no foam was used.” OH SO vintage 44
