European-Inspired Soirée at Auckland’s French Cafe || Captured by BEK SMITH

Romantic minimalist tablescapes and contemporary bridal styling by Liberty Event Styling and Floral Stylist Co, curating a mindful European intimacy with this Wild Hearts feature shoot at Auckland’s French Cafe. Romantic clusters of candles and overflowing orchids by Sue at Floral Stylist Co, created an intimate ceremony setting spilling with modern elegance and whimsical opulence.

Stylist, Liberty Event Styling proposed ” I always like to create things that provoke thought, inspire and challenge brides to be a bit brave and different, to prove they can still look ‘bridal’ without having the expected big dress and big white wedding, allowing their style and personality to show through various elements – which really does make their day uniquely their own.” 

The two piece relaxed suit set from Karen Walker Atelier is a perfect option for any sophisticated bride with a preference for bold style. We adore modern bridal attire when paired with spectacular veils that carry beads, embellishments and unique silhouettes. 

The exposed stone walls mixed with oatmeal hues gives a fresh and textured ensemble, this styled shoot is a romantic minimalist’s dream. Sleek whites in styling choices from modern stationery by h.studio, an art inspired cake by Sweet Talk and candles settings from Revel & Light. Tablescapes inspired by the beauty of European dining, with circular tables to create connection, that feels deeply considered yet effortlessly styled. 

Our Wild Hearts feature shoots are a collision of dreamers, artists and wildly beautiful brands, creating a vision to inspire hearts. A big thank you to the dream team below for creating this alongside us!⁠
