A Sunset Elopement

Experience the magic of a sunset elopement and get inspiration for a relaxed and intimate celebration filled with love and whimsical touches. Photographer Zara Staples wanted to show that sometimes all that is needed for a wedding is love - and a beautiful sunset.

Using playful styling details including a pink veil from Gloria to watermelon flower 'vases' the tone is kept relaxed and budget friendly. Emphasising that weddings are all about you and your partner - and less about traditions and trends, styling was bright and colourful, with vintage touches added by the pearl bag and vintage off the shoulder wedding dress.
