The Biscuit Factory, Edinburgh

in ,

This was a personal project of mine that was so much fun! I chose the awesome Biscuit Factory in Edinburgh to style because of it’s gritty industrial feel. I wanted to create a bridal shoot based on modern 70’s and the location was perfect. It’s always important to me that I work with local suppliers when I can and this lot were amazing. One criteria of mine for this shoot was it had to include disco balls because I’ve got to admit, I am a little bit obsessed with them!

Loch Lomond Wedding Styling

in ,

The best day of my life…my wedding! Now you get to have a little peek at what my day was like. I planned and organised the whole event running over three days which was a huge amount of work but I loved every minute of it. I got help on board to put together my plans for the styling on the day whilst I was off saying ‘I do’ because although I would have done it myself, that part was kind of important. The styling all went to plan and my helping hand was fantastic and helped keep me sane in the run up. There was a mix of my own props, as well as hired ones and some hand-made pieces too (I became a pro pompom maker and glue gun extraordinaire). I worked with so many amazing suppliers and it put my organisational skills to the test but it turned out to be a fantastic day that I wish I could do all over again!

The Old Dr Bells Baths, Edinburgh

in ,

When I heard of this new venue on the scene that was a converted baths, I thought that sounded pretty awesome, so I jumped in when I had the opportunity to style it. The couple wanted to create intimate table displays to go with this quirky venue. I added tealights to create that ambience and focused on details, using rustic colours in the florals and candles, as well as adding touches of gold to create that luxury feel. I love adding pops of colour and this style was perfect for the day.

Anniversary Picnic Styling

in ,

These two love birds were having some photo’s taken near Arthurs Seat and got in touch about styling. It was Autumn and I had the idea of creating a cosy picnic for them to make the most out of their photos. I always think props are such a good idea to get an amazing variety of photo’s and to help the couple feel relaxed. Cosy blankets and jumpers were needed for this one, with the added treat of hot chocolate and marshmallows (because you have to have the marshmallows!). I took along my props, we found a lovely spot and even though it was cold, setting it up was a dream. I decided to go with a bit of a vintage feel but with a modern twist and these guys rocked it! They were on board with my ideas and up for adventure…they were the perfect couple to work with and their love blew me away!
