Surrey Wedding Photography – Mayfield Lavender Wedding Inspiration
February 15, 2016
Anyone who knows me well knows that in late July/early August there is one place just outside of London that I’m constantly trying to convince friends and family to join me in visiting. The Mayfield Lavender Fields. My clients get a fair share of it too (I mean my god, is it possible that there could be a more beautiful backdrop for photography??). These beautiful fields were the inspiration for this shoot and the goal was to create a look for for a Bride trying to create a romantic and whimsical lavender themed event. And now the countdown begins for next July when I hopefully get to do another bridal (or family) photography shoot there! Who is up for it?! And without any more waffling here are the resulting images that are scheduled to be published on Rock My Wedding in just a few weeks!!
The Bride’s hair was adorned with a delicate ‘Lily’ piece by Hermione Harbutt, featuring freshwater pearl tendrils cascading into a beautiful growing design 
For the tablescape, a selection of vintage bottles, brass bowls, bud vases and candlesticks, to which simple floral stems were added with the goal of creating a delicate and romantic look. 
The bride’s soft and romantic look was inspired by the gorgeous blush-colored Clare La Faye gown from Heart Aflutter Bridal. 
The magnificent purple field feels a bit like it could be from a scene out of Wizard of Oz and the whole experience of visiting is magical and romantic. Upon reaching the field you are enveloped with the smell of lavender and an adorable nearby farm stand sells the most delicious lavender products including lavender tea, lavender scones (YUM) and lavender fudge. 
The invitation was inspired by wild lavender and calligraphy– using a watercolour and textured paper and tied with a simple waxed cotton cord to give a slight rustic, yet fresh and delicate look. 
Signature cocktails were created using lavender springs stuck into blackberries
The escort cards were pegged to a strung gilt frame with coordinating sprigs of lavender for ladies and greenery for gents.
