Our lovely Polka Dot Made contributing editor Alicia from Akimbo sent over this stylish Semaphore inspired wedding shoot to show off her new Sempahore wedding stationery range. Alicia collaborated with Luke Simon Photography (for the gorgeous photos) Mary & Gabrielle Events (for the stunning styling) and Poppies Flowers (for the props) at The Flying Knife in Adelaide to bring together the elements beautifully suited to a Semaphore inspired wedding.
I love the styling and feel of this shoot – it’s perfectly suited to a couple that wants something a little nautical, a little beachy while using interesting patterns, textures and objects to create the atmosphere.
Check out Alicia’s tutorial on how to make this gorgeous rope and flag succulent centrepiece on Polka Dot Made
