Winter Wedding “Somewhere in The Woods”

In the heart of Limousin, Héloïse de  So Helo imagined a winter wedding in an enchanted forest. A key color: purple. A painting full of mystery where time seems weightless.

With the beautiful images of Vivien Malagnat, the team tells us more…

“It was in the heart of winter that this idea for a shooting came about.
With the high season recently over, we wanted to come together around a common project showcasing our know-how and our magnificent Limousin countryside in a winter atmosphere.
This is how the inspiration shoot " Somewhere in The Woods » was born with a team of mainly local service providers and around the color: purple.

We wanted to find a fairly wild place where nature dominates and where we could bring a real decorated space to life.
After a few walks in the Limousin forest (and there are many!) we found the ideal place: a place hidden from view in the middle of the forest, near a large clearing devoid of trees, all the contrast of the place we imagined for this inspiration shoot.

The organization 

"We decided to stage a young woman who seems lost in the middle of the woods but serene. Everything is perfect, all that's missing is the chosen one of her heart who is waiting...
The hours seem frozen in this hibernating forest.
We wanted to highlight a kind of mysterious Elopement,  very soflty.

The photographer Vivien Malagnat was able to transcribe, through his attentive eye, the gentle and timeless atmosphere that we wanted to give to this shooting.

For our model, two outfits were carefully selected, both consisting of a pretty sweater Kaa Couture and a tulle skirt Cleophina.
Auxanne was sublimated by Affinity Beauty with delicate makeup and two natural and subtly wild hairstyles.
Accessories So Helo, in golden tones and shades of purple, completed her beauty look.

"We wanted to give this shoot an intimate and soft atmosphere. The inspiration came from the landscapes that the forest offers us. Laëtitia de LB Bergamot, Farah of Mayday, My day and Ludivine of Little Ball, worked together on the scenography, to create a winter harmony between floral arrangements, decorative elements and tableware. Everything was enhanced by the delicate stationery of Hello Paper.

Not forgetting the gourmet touch brought by Chloe's Belles with its Wedding Cake revisited with winter colors and flavors.

We decided to highlight ultraviolet, Pantone color 2018, with all its nuances. Gold, candles and light have also taken an important place in the decoration to bring a warmer touch.

In terms of materials, we have favored wood, porcelain, crystal, cotton… noble and natural materials.
For the floral arrangements we relied on elements that can be found in the forest: moss, fir branches... as if the forest was gradually reclaiming its rights.

Decorating advice for future brides and grooms 

"Winter weddingsr are timidly arriving in our region and we wanted to show that a winter atmosphere is imbued with a special magic.

For a winter wedding, soft, dark colors go very well with golden decorative elements and light.
This combination provides an interesting contrast to enhance a winter decoration with the use of natural materials such as wood, cotton, stone, etc.
To  those who wish to bring an even warmer touch, a few shades of red and that's it."
