A Wild Garden Party in the Heart of Devon

A Wild Garden Party in the Heart of Devon

Written by Emma Hla

Sun-drenched, joy-filled and brimming with effortless style, this editorial at The Lost Music Hall in Devon captures the essence of a modern celebration done differently.

Dreamed up as a contemporary Italian garden party, the concept leans into abundance, warmth and that unmistakable sense of laid-back luxury. Brought to life by a talented creative team and led by florist and stylist Sophie Flowers, the vision centres around connection and colour. Think untamed florals spilling across tables, a sun-kissed palette of terracotta and butter yellow, and thoughtful details that feel both elevated and entirely uncontrived.

It’s all about the mood. Mix traditional and non-traditional elements, layer in personal touches, and focus on connection and celebration.

The Venue

The Lost Music Hall was the perfect backdrop for an immersive, laid-back luxury shoot. Its stunning architecture and sun-soaked outdoor spaces allowed every detail from florals to styling to shine. It set the scene for a celebration that felt aspirational yet effortlessly approachable.

The Vision

The editorial was imagined as a modern-day garden party with an Italian twist, abundant, joyful, and full of personality. We wanted it to capture the feeling of a wedding that overflows with connection, laughter, and celebration. Every detail was considered: untamed florals spilling across tables, playful styling elements, textures and colours layered with intention, and food that felt fun yet elegant. The inspiration came from the Mediterranean way of living, carefree, laid-back, and always centred around togetherness. The result was a vibe that was luxurious but approachable, aspirational yet effortless, and truly unforgettable.

We went for warm Mediterranean hues: terracotta, butter yellow, soft pinks, peaches, and lush greens. Everything, from stationery to tableware, was chosen to complement the palette, giving the day a cohesive, sun-kissed feel perfect for summer or early autumn.

The Fashion

Fashion was relaxed, fun, and garden-party ready. Guests wore playful, effortless attire while the bride and groom kept it timeless and elegant. The goal was a style that felt natural, letting personalities shine.

The Styling and Flowers

Think modern Italian garden party: abundant, joyful, and overflowing with personality. Untamed florals stretched across tables, playful details popped everywhere, and textures and colours were layered with intention. It was luxurious yet approachable, with every element curated to spark joy.

Our florals embraced that Mediterranean warmth, abundant blooms in terracotta, peach, pink, and butter yellow, paired with rich greenery. The arrangements felt joyful, natural, and celebratory, capturing effortless elegance without being over-styled.

for couples

It’s all about the mood. Take inspiration from the abundance, the personality, and the playful, carefree spirit. Mix traditional and non-traditional elements, layer in personal touches, and focus on connection and celebration. Let your day feel luxurious but lived-in, joyful, and unapologetically you.
