Caroline and a group of talented local wedding suppliers got together to create a beautiful Japanese fusion photo shoot at The Larmer Tree wedding venue to showcase creative ways to incorporate the theme into your wedding day.
"Inspiration for the shoot was soft English rose with a pop of Japanese fusion. Looking at the bridal shows we knew the Japanese theme would be big for weddings moving forward and we added our own touch of magic with a beautiful updo hairstyle adorned with beautiful blousey orchids and small touches of alluring Asian mystery for the eye make-up."

The flowers by Jessie Copper of West Dorset Wedding Flowers centred around a palette of varied pink, white an pinot noir tones. "I was able to draw on seasonal touches such as Dorset-grown black elder leaves, my home-grown white Montana clematis and spiraea, alongside fruit-tree blossoms which are central to the Far East look," adds Jessie.
