Local shoot - Romance under canvas

Let's take a moment to appreciate this gorgeous shoot again from the Sept/Oct 20 issue of Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding, with even more stunning images that we just didn't have space for in the magazine feature.

"Tipis are incredible spaces," says shoot coordinator and owner of Bouquet & Bells Claire Boon. "The canvas backdrops and handmade rustic furnishings just cried out for an autumnal styled shoot," she continues. So, Bouquet & Bells set about gathering together a fabulous team of wedding suppliers, capable of bringing the vision to life. The palette sings of the season with plenty of muted oranges, beautiful foliage and copper finishing touches. Claire says, "Those involved went above and beyond to ensure every last detail was covered."

Once dominated by big nights out and budget flights abroad, hen and stag parties in the UK are having a rethink, and things are now looking very different. Research suggests that pre-wedding celebrations could be completely sober as early as 2040, with groups instead embracing alcohol-free celebrations that they're more likely to remember.
