styled wedding shoot

Coastal Limes

Created alongside an incredibly talented team of local wedding vendors, this styled shoot brought together a group of passionate creatives with one shared vision: to design a wedding that felt fresh, joyful and effortlessly sophisticated while inspiring couples to embrace personality in their wedding styling.

Moving away from traditional neutral palettes, we paired crisp whites with vibrant citrus greens, sculptural florals and organic textures to create a look that felt both refined and playful. From overflowing bowls of fresh limes and signature cocktails to contemporary vessels and soft linen textures, every detail was thoughtfully curated to feel modern, immersive and full of life.

At Forever & a Day, we believe styling is about so much more than creating something beautiful, it's about telling a story and creating an atmosphere that feels authentically you. This shoot was designed to inspire couples to step outside the expected and discover just how impactful thoughtful styling can be when every detail works together in harmony. We hope it inspires couples to embrace colour, celebrate their individuality, and create a wedding day that feels uniquely their own.

We're also incredibly grateful to have collaborated with such a talented team of local vendors to bring this vision to life. We hope this shoot not only inspires your wedding day but also helps you discover creatives whose style, passion and approach align with your own vision. Below, you'll find each of the incredible vendors who made Coastal Limes possible, along with more about their work and what they can bring to your celebration.

Warm, candid, and intentional. I came to wedding photography in my 30s, which means I bring a fresh eye and a genuine excitement to every wedding day. I'm not jaded, I'm not going through the motions. Every couple and every story still lights me up.

How would you describe your signature style?  

Stop chasing "timeless." There is no such thing. In 25 years you won't want sanitised and safe, you'll want to see the way your wedding really was. The way your relationship really was. The way you genuinely loved chartreuse and amaranthus and weren't afraid to show it. If you love a trend, lean into it. Your photos should look like YOU, not like everyone else's attempt at forever.

What's one piece of advice you'd love every couple to know before planning their wedding photography?

Couples who stop worrying about what everyone else thinks. Wear the non-traditional dress. Stay for your own cocktail hour. Choose the unusual venue. Do the epic reception entry. Bring back the getaway car! When couples lean into what actually feels like them rather than what a wedding is "supposed" to look like, those are the days that photograph beautifully and the photos you'll never stop looking at.

What are you hoping to see more of this wedding season?

Mollie has such a beautiful way of capturing the moments that often go unseen, the laughter between friends, the happy tears and all the little in-between memories that make a wedding day so special. I love that her content feels raw, genuine and full of emotion, giving couples a chance to relive their day almost instantly. She's the perfect addition to any wedding day, working seamlessly alongside your photographer and videographer to tell your story from another perspective.

My style is raw, real, and yours.. short-form video that captures the day exactly as it felt. And it’s not just for social media. So many couples don’t realise that what I create is something you can sit down and rewatch, the in-between moments, the little laughs, the bits you can watch the next morning & forever. I got married in 2024 and that’s the gap I wished I’d filled. That’s the whole reason Content by Mollie exists.

How would you describe your signature style?  

Book your content creator as early as your photographer and videographer, we’re a completely separate role, not an add-on. And it’s not just for posting. The clips I capture are yours to keep and rewatch forever, the same way you’d flick back through your wedding photos.

What’s one piece of advice you’d love every couple to know before planning their wedding content?

More couples and bridal parties, being present on the day instead of behind a phone trying to capture it themselves. And more couples realising content creators belong on the vendor list alongside their florist, stylist, and photographer, because what we capture isn’t just for the algorithm, it’s a real keepsake of the day.

The Landing is one of those places that instantly makes you slow down. With its beautifully curated interiors, peaceful setting and thoughtful details, it creates the perfect backdrop for intimate celebrations and creative inspiration alike. I love how every space feels intentional, making it so easy to create styling that feels elevated, relaxed and deeply connected to its surroundings.

We focus on creating spaces and experiences that feel beautiful, comfortable, and genuinely welcoming, allowing couples and their guests to slow down and enjoy the celebration together. Whether they choose the The Landing as there secret hideaway to elope to or there honeymoon escape.

The Landing is unique in that we’re not just accommodation. We are not just the perfect backdrop for your special moments, we hold thoughtfully designed interiors, the best in quality fittings along with being high on experience based activities including twin outdoor baths, firepit and outdoor cinema. We help create those special moments that guests remember long after the wedding escape is over.

How would you describe your signature style?  

The ceremony and reception may only last a few hours, but your guests often spend several days in the region. Choosing accommodation that is comfortable, well-located, and allows people to connect, relax, and explore together can make the entire wedding feel more memorable for everyone involved.

The best weddings are often the ones that feel like a weekend away rather than a single event.

What's one piece of advice you'd love every couple to know before planning their wedding accomodation?

We’re hoping to see more couples embracing extended wedding weekends and making the most of everything our region has to offer.

Rather than a quick in-and-out celebration, we’re seeing couples create experiences around their wedding—welcome drinks, beach walks, local food and wine experiences, gallery visits, and time spent with family and friends. It gives everyone a chance to slow down, connect, and create meaningful memories together.

We’re also loving the move towards weddings that feel personal and authentic, where couples focus less on trends and more on creating a celebration that reflects who they are.
