Beachy Boho Elopement

Photography by Sophie Darwin Photography

We're off to the wild coastline of Jersey today for a beachy boho elopement. With soft earthy tones, natural make-up and styling, and a couple who are clearly very much in love. The beach picnic also steals the show with the most delicious-looking grazing platter and some Champagne clinks for good measure. We've also got grazing table inspiration if you find yourself hungry for more.

We chose the wild headland of Saint Ouen in Jersey National Park to frame our perfect day.

This spectacular sanctuary is home to diverse wildlife and there’s nowhere better to come alive in nature. The soft sandbanks, windblown grasses, and Atlantic surf added beauty and drama to the scene as the blood-orange sun sank over a perfect autumn sky.

Boho Elopement Style

Could the hair, makeup, and outfits of this couple exude any more beachy boho elopement vibes? We think not. The natural hair and makeup perfectly suit both Bride's pared-back wedding day outfits. With block heels for both bringing some stylish practicality to the beach setting.

Wedding Beach Picnic

The beach picnic to celebrate is a smorgasbord of delights, with both savory and sweet elements of grazing platters provided by The Jersey Grazing Company. Wonderlands then expertly styled these treats with tapered candles and place settings to make it feel more of an occasion.

Our colour palette was inspired by nature and the changing seasons.

We crafted our perfect moment from the fleeting shades of autumn, with pampas grass, dried eucalyptus, and sunset oranges. Bohemian fabrics and dried florals softened the scene as they swayed on the evening tide.
