I am so excited to share this absolutely gorgeous shoot with you. Not only does it celebrate the joy that is friendship, but it also celebrates online wedding magazine {MAG} rouge‘s third issue (The Harvest Issue) hitting virtual shelves tomorrow! The full shoot can be seen in the new issue of the magazine, but today I get to share it with you! It features beautiful photographs by the incredibly talented Sutherland Kovach Wedding Photography , gorgeous floral design from Annie Oxborough, gowns from Ruche and stationery from Ruby and Willow at New Zealand’s Lothlorien Winery and Feijoa Orchard .
I love the idea behind this shoot- a bride, brings together three of her closest friends at a beautiful get together (with plenty of bubbles and sweet treats) to ask them to be her bridesmaids. Each bridesmaid receives a keepsake tea towel printed with the invitation and the brunch? It takes place in an incredible orchard amongst the lush Autumn tones. Isn’t this a beautiful and low key way to invite your closest friends to be in your bridal party? I’m all for taking any occasion to celebrate and that doughnut garland might just be on the agenda for my next celebration!
Be sure to check out the {MAG} rouge website tomorrow for more of this shoot and more gorgeous wedding inspiration from the New Zealand {MAG} rouge team!
