Coastal Elopement ECO Style

Here at Brides in France we worked with some of our top wedding suppliers  at the beautiful Villa La Tosca to create a styled shoot with a difference. 

Our aim was to capture luxury high end, eco –friendly, same sex and interracial weddings. Showcasing different examples of modern weddings today.

We collaborated with some of London’s high end Lux designers using eco sustainable materials and used different dresses and tom boy looks for same sex couples, interracial couples and your classic beach boho look.

Our shoot was taken at the renowned eco-friendly exquisite Villa La Tosca in South West France set in one of the most organic surroundings and breath-taking picturesque beaches in Archachon, just South of Bordeaux.

" Each bouquet for the shoot was created to compliment the beautiful  designers  dresses and the stunning Italian influenced venue and its gorgeous seaside location. The splashes of colour throughout the villa inspired me to be bold with blooms in vibrant shades."

" This shoot was so special for so many reasons being Eco focused and using such amazing designer dresses/outfits. The make up I created for this reflected all the differing vibes and moods of the day. Dramatic and exotic when needed and romantically soft for the more boho frames."
