Salt & Iris

Suffolk, UK

Summer – Wedding

Set within a 15th century church in Suffolk, the design draws from the blue of the Aegean Sea, translated through iris and cornflower sprays. With a focus on texture, structure, and light, the flowers were allowed to define the atmosphere. The result is a calm, considered interpretation of classical blue florals within a historic English setting.
