A mix of modern vintage and boho vibes for today’s blog post set at Little Tey Barn, Essex. With a beautiful berry and pastel colour palette, mixed with opulent gold and green touches, it’s perfect for couples who want to add a little luxury to their rustic barn venue. It gives inspiration to those planning a small wedding with its intimate seating and laid back tea party wedding breakfast. We catch up with the team behind the shoot…
Inspiration
“This intimate wedding is perfect for the current climate with weddings being at a limited amount of guests. We truly showed this off by having a limited number of lounge chairs at the ceremony, giving off a relaxed vibe to the day. We decided to have a sweetheart table to share with couples that due to the current guidelines, you might be unable to sit with your family and friends, however, you can make it truly special with having a sweetheart table, making it special and beautiful with the details. Having a tea party set up, rather than a full 3 tiered wedding cake because everyone will be able to take home a cupcake, which also can save a couple money and they can spend this elsewhere in their budget. We focused on the little details with the lanterns, the tealights, the colour palette, bringing out the romance through the little details.”
“Laura from Laura Jane Photography brought her a game to the shoot, Laura’s light and airy images really complimented the autumnal feel with vintage furniture. They really brought out the barn which is darker, it can make it the perfect space for your day. The shoot truly flowed from start to finish…

Laura Jane Photography
“The photos were edited in Laura Jane Photography’s signature light and airy style to reflect on the timeless and romantic mood of the shoot. We had a wonderful sunny afternoon so as well as making use of the beautiful barn at Little Tey, we also managed to step outside and photograph our models having fun and enjoying themselves in the fabulous grounds that surround this hidden gem. Laura focuses on capturing all the natural, fun and romantic shots on a wedding day, as well as all the small intricate details. These special moments all play such an important role in making up your big day and the years of memories to follow.”
The Bride and Bridesmaids
Amara Bridal
“Brides are always looking for something a little different, which our WToo collection provides, our dresses Damali, Jillie and Dinah each offer classic elements but with a modern twist. The bridesmaid dresses featured were from our Emma Bridals and Wtoo collections, which are available to order in an array of colours.”
Hair and Makeup – Bridal by Marina and Makeup Faye Neill
“The hairstyles I created for this pretty styled shoot at Little Tey Barn, were with a timeless elegance that would suit most styles of wedding. Chignon can be created using a small amount of padding at the nape of the neck and twisting the hair over the padding or smoothing the hair around the padding’. Marina created two effortlessly beautiful hairstyles on our bride and bridesmaid. Truly stunning creations. Makeup by Faye Neill stated ‘I created the makeup looks for the photoshoot. Pretty peaches and glowing skin for the bridesmaid, and a palette of soft pinks for the bridal look’.”
The Details
Flowers – C Taylor’s Floristry
“To bring together the beautiful vision for this styled shoot at Little Tey Barn, we used florals full of colour and texture to reflect the change of the season. Using dark purple Cotinus foliage as a real contrast against the lighter peach and blush pink florals, these beautiful tones really complimented the theme of the shoot. We teamed lush, trailing foliages with an abundance of pink Mondial roses, peach avalanche roses, champagne lisianthus, and stunning and apple tea and Antigua carnations. Trailing pink peppercorns added that wow factor to the bridal bouquet and gave the most incredible scent! Add in the gorgeous silk ribbons, and the bouquet really was something beautiful.”
Cake – Very Vintage Tea Party
“Very Vintage has been styling and hosting afternoon tea parties since 2010. Everything is baked and prepared by our team and set on beautiful vintage china lovingly collected over many years. We were delighted to collaborate with our favourite local suppliers to work to a colour scheme and bring this shoot together at the stunning Little Tey Barn.”
Stationery – Paper Swan
I designed a stationery collection for the styled shoot, that would work with the rustic vintage theme. It featured a dusty pink leaf motif with romantic typeface, printed on recorded paper and vellum. It was finished with matching envelopes and a wax seal’. ‘Shelley Bell is an independent family celebrant who provides services beautifully tailored and unique wedding ceremonies, vow renewals, naming ceremonies and sensitive funeral ceremonies across Essex and East Anglia’. Shelley’s work allows for weddings to be held in gardens, on boats, in castles, in fields, anywhere you dream of! Giving you the freedom to have the wedding of your dreams.”
