Does it get any better than a beach picnic wedding? I think not!
Brought to us by Ellie Lou Photography these glorious images showcase how to pull off a romantic and pretty beach wedding, complete with a picture-perfect picnic setting. There were pastel colours with an array of stunning florals, fresh styling and simple, chic outfits.
Do also keep your eyes peeled for sweet stationery, stunning hair and makeup, as well as delicate accessories. It’s all SO gorgeous.



A relaxed, elopement-inspired summer styled shoot created by a team of South West wedding suppliers, captured by Ellie Lou Photography. Featuring floaty bridal separates by Ailsa Munro, soft and pretty florals by Daisy Lane Floral Design and a romantic beach picnic by Scarlett Rose Events.
The relaxed styling features delicate details, with beautiful handmade ceramic bridal accessories by Claire Austin England and elegant, blush pink stationery with gold detail by Eliza May Prints. The bride’s natural, fresh and glowing look created by Sophie Wylie Makeup Artist and Maddy at South West Bridal Hair beautifully finished the relaxed style.


The shoot took place at two locations in North Somerset which give a beautiful coast and country look to these inspirational images.
The first location was the pretty countryside floristry studio of Daisy Lane Floral Design based in Clevedon. We then travelled to a nearby beach at Sand Bay, Weston-super-Mare to capture some relaxed couple portraits and a romantic picnic styled by Scarlett Rose Events.


The bride’s beautiful dress is by Cornwall based designer, Ailsa Munro. The ‘Billie’ bridal separates feature a gathered, straight silk skirt with matching crop top tied at the back with pretty silk ribbon and finished with delicate petal sleeves.



The beautiful, light and fresh floral designs by Daisy Lane Floral Design combined traditional blooms and soft foliage with bleached ruscus to create a pretty, summery look with a modern twist.
The bride’s bouquet featured a variety of beautiful stems in a soft summer palette of lilac, pinks, peach, white and neutrals. This whimsical style carried through to the soft picnic styling, featuring ceramic white footed bowls and a meadow backdrop.
The full list of florals included: Astilbe, Sweet Peas, Campanula, Delphiniums, Clematis, Lysimachia, Stocks, Bleached Ruscus, WhiteO’Hara Rose, Ocean Song Rose, Miranda Rose.


The beautiful handmade bridal accessories by Claire Austin England added delicate detail to the bride’s look which included three designs featuring white ceramic flowers.

These tied in beautifully with the blush pink wedding stationery with gold detail by Eliza May Prints and the matching calligraphy notecards which added a lovely personal touch to the shoot.

The luxury picnic on the beach, styled by Scarlett Rose Events, struck the perfect balance between graceful and relaxed. The elegant table setting incorporated delicate, ivory table linens and blush crockery which beautifully complimented the warm, natural tones of the custom-designed timber table.
To complete the look, polished gold cutlery and matching candlesticks with tapered ivory candles sat nestled between whimsical floral centrepieces by Daisy Lane Floral Design.




For a simple and relaxed summer look, the groom’s outfit included a classic white shirt and beige chinos from H&M.
