It’s always such a pleasure to support the members of our wonderful Little Book wedding directory – a resource we have built especially to help you find great suppliers – and one we’re going to be investing significant effort into expanding and refining in 2020.
This lovely editorial full of realistic and achievable bohemian vibes was sent in by Kerri Marlow, owner of Bridal Indulgence, a lovely little bridal boutique based in Crondall, North East Hampshire.
Kerri is the loveliest lady by the way, so brides in the area looking for a wedding dress – the biggest recommendation to visit Bridal Indulgence comes from me. Here, Kerri tells us more about these images…

“Our photo shoot took place at Blacknest Country Club who have launched their new tipi for weddings and events this year. I wanted to do the photo shoot at a tipi because a lot of my brides are planning outdoor weddings and it was a great opportunity to bring them some inspiration.”
“The tipi at Blacknest is surrounded by lots of woodland so was the perfect setting. We battled all the elements that day; sunshine, wind, rain and hail! I think it goes to show that a tipi wedding can work, even if it does rain.”
“I wanted to feature dresses that would work well at an outdoor wedding; dresses with plenty of movement, that are lightweight and easy to move about in and enjoy all the elements of your wedding day (eating, drinking and dancing etc). So I included dresses from Willowby and Wtoo which are perfect for an outdoor wedding.”
“Of course it wasn’t just about the dresses, but creating some inspiration for decorating an outdoor and tipi wedding. So when briefing our handpicked suppliers, I explained that it was all about embracing the outdoors; so taking inspiration from beautiful flowers, pampas grass etc. and creating an intimate and celebratory set up.”
