This shoot was photographed by Jennifer Jane Photography at Newton Surmaville in Yeovil Somerset and features the work of three Love My Dress recommended suppliers, Jennifer Jane Photography, Rebecca Anne Designs and The Embroidered Napkin Company.

Jennifer works across the UK and has a soft pastel style that lends itself well to light filled venues. Newton Surmaville provided a strong backdrop for the shoot, so the styling stayed simple and made use of the spaces as they are. Pastels and pinks were used sparingly through the florals, stationery and table details.

The veil, created by Rebecca Anne Designs , was lovingly created in Rebecca’s Devon studio and features tulle flowers delicately hand-sewn through the length of the train. Rebecca is well regarded for her beautiful, bespoke embroidered veils and hand detailed designs.

The tables featured embroidered napkins by The Embroidered Napkin Company, founded by Heidi Lawton. Personalised with names or initials, they are both a practical and super beautiful and personalised detail that guests can take home to treasure beyond you wedding day.

Newton Surmaville is a newly restored wedding venue in the heart of the Somerset countryside and this shoot is shared as a helpful reference for couples considering getting married there, or for those drawn to pastel tones and thoughtful, relaxed and romantic details.

The shoot took place at the absolutely breathtaking, and brand new wedding venue, Newton Surmaville, in Yeovil Somerset. It’s one of those places that stops you in your tracks. There’s this perfect mix of timeless heritage and modern romance running through it, grand architecture, soft light, and that sense of old-world charm.

We wanted the whole shoot to feel effortless, a little bit fine art, a little bit editorial, but still warm, romantic, and full of life. That lovely mix of understated luxury that doesn’t try too hard, yet feels completely at home in a place as grand as Newton Surmaville.

Our idea for this shoot came from orchids; I love how they are simple, elegant and luxurious and how something so delicate can carry such presence.

They became the heartbeat of the whole day, inspiring everything from the floral design and stationery to the refined gown silhouette, the sophisticated tablescape, and even the architecture of the cake.

Pastel colour flowers in a low ceramic bowl, gold cutlery, gold rimmed plates, elegant pastel stationery and ribbed glasses. Elegant wedding reception table decor.

The dream team came together perfectly, including some brilliant Love My Dress directory members like Rebecca Anne Designs, The Embroidered Napkin Company, and me behind the camera.
