Original Source: Colour clash – a styled bridal shoot at Holmes Mill
Today’s styled shoot is all about the alternative big day, brimming with a whole lotta colour, personality and – pom poms!
As a talented stationery designer, Emma from Burnley-based Alf and Alba Design was keen to get involved in a shoot that would showcase something a little bit different from the norm. It wasn’t long before she decided to take the lead and organise one herself, bringing on-board plenty of fabulous suppliers too. And boy, we’re glad she did!
The result? A bold and funky shoot popping with rainbow-bright colours, floral displays and ultra-cool props for wedding day inspo that’s bursting with the fun factor. Set at the charming Holmes Mill in Clitheroe – this characterful venue proved to be the perfect canvas for such a vibrant, edgy shoot. We think you’re gonna love it! Here’s Emma with all the details – enjoy!

Inspiration
Emma says: As a stationery designer with a relatively niche style, I had been on the lookout for a shoot that was directed at a more alternative bride; focusing on colour, bold décor and styling, and interesting flower choices. Unfortunately, I was struggling to find anyone organising this type of shoot anywhere near me and so felt encouraged to organise my own. As it turned out, there were a number of fellow wedding suppliers in my local area also offering unique services and products that were keen to be involved.
I created a few direction boards to inform everyone of the style of shoot I wanted to create, with references to colourful altar backdrops, paper flowers, colour blocked stationery, grazing tables and funky accessories.
