Coast to Country Weddings & Events photoshoot

Earlier this month we sponsored Coast to Country Weddings and Events with a gown and accessories for a promotional photoshoot.  I am sure you will agree, they did a fabulous job! The "Bride" looks gorgeous in our "Trina" gown with matching Lace bolero.  This is their story (written by Jo Wolfe).....



Mango Hill Farm Photo Shoot April 12

We initially booked in the photo shoot for 6th March but due to the torrential rain we had that day, we postponed to 5th April

Coast to Country Weddings and Events has been working closely with Mango Hill Farm recently to promote their beautiful venue for future brides. We decided to organise a photo shoot using local businesses and suppliers for the day.


Coast to Country arrived early on the day to set up the function room at the Farm in the setting of a reception. We used the beautiful green sashes with green and bronze menu cards, to link the outdoor surroundings with our theme. Our model Ashley arrived, her hair in curlers, with her boyfriend Ricky, who had never done any modelling before and is a personal trainer in his regular job. He stood in as our groom for the day although he did say he was completely out of his depth! He was slightly spooked by the idea of posing as groom with his girlfriend! They did an amazing job.

We then set up a mock ceremony at the Boat House which is located by the beautiful stream that runs through the property. The setting and weather were perfect.  Ashley looked stunning in her Elizabeth de Varga dress, which fitted to perfection.


Lastly we ended with a ceremony set up outside the Dove Cote Cottage, which is 150 years old. Situated next to the cottage is a cute bandstand that is perfect for the bride and groom to take their vows while their guests look on.


Calli Burnett did an amazing job with the photography on the day, capturing the beautiful surroundings of the farm.
