Same-sex wedding in Bath styled by wedding stylist in Bath Somerset

As a wedding stylist in the South West UK, I’m often brought into creative collaborations where a vision has already begun to take shape. Recently, I had the pleasure of styling a beautiful same-sex wedding photoshoot at The Huntsman, Bath, Somerset, where the overall colour scheme and aesthetic direction were provided by the shoot organiser Laura Seymour. From that starting point, my role was to interpret the brief and bring all the visual elements together into a cohesive, elevated design.

The result was a heartfelt, romantic celebration that showcased the magic of inclusive weddings in the South West UK.

A Real Couple at the Heart of the Story

At the centre of this shoot were Lee and Chris — a real-life couple whose genuine connection brought incredible warmth and authenticity to the day. Their natural chemistry made every moment feel effortless and emotional, from quiet embraces to laughter-filled exchanges.

Representation is incredibly important within the wedding industry. As a wedding stylist and planner, I’m passionate about helping all couples feel seen, celebrated and beautifully represented. The South West has a vibrant and growing LGBTQ+ wedding community, and it was an honour to help create inspiration for same-sex weddings in Bath and Somerset.

Interpreting the Creative Brief

Laura provided a defined colour scheme and overall look for the shoot. Using this as my foundation, I carefully curated and styled the details to ensure everything felt intentional, balanced and visually cohesive.

This is often how I work with couples planning their wedding — sometimes they come with a Pinterest board or colour palette already chosen, and my role is to translate that into a fully realised design that works within their venue, budget and guest experience.

For this shoot, that meant:

Styling the ceremony and reception areas to reflect the agreed aesthetic
Layering textures and décor elements to add depth and sophistication
Creating visual harmony between each supplier’s contribution

Wedding styling is about more than selecting beautiful pieces — it’s about connecting every detail so that nothing feels random or disconnected.

Creating Atmosphere Through Music & Ceremony

To bring the setting to life, we collaborated with incredibly talented musicians. Amelle singing while playing acoustic guitar created an intimate, relaxed mood, while Shalana’s beautiful singing and Laura on the violin added a more emotional and cinematic feel — perfect inspiration for couples planning a wedding ceremony in Bath.

A professional celebrant led a ceremony moment that felt authentic and meaningful, reinforcing how powerful personalised ceremonies can be for LGBTQ+ weddings in the South West.

These elements transformed the styled space into something immersive — helping couples envision how their own Bath wedding could feel, not just how it might look.

Collaborating with Bath Wedding Suppliers

One of the highlights of working as a wedding planner and stylist in Somerset is collaborating with talented local creatives. This shoot brought together an experienced team of wedding suppliers in Bath, including:

Professional photographers capturing every detail and emotion
A florist who worked within the chosen palette to create romantic arrangements
A cake designer who crafted a stunning focal centrepiece
A stationery designer ensuring the paper details reflected the overall look
A skilled hair and makeup artist completing the polished aesthetic

As the stylist, my role was to ensure cohesion — aligning textures, colours and placement so that each supplier’s work complemented the wider design direction.

This collaborative approach is exactly what I bring to real weddings across Bath and the South West UK.

Turning Vision Into Reality

Many couples approach me with a starting idea — a colour palette, a mood board or a specific look they love. My expertise lies in refining that vision, sourcing the right elements, coordinating suppliers and ensuring everything works seamlessly within the chosen venue.

This styled shoot with Lee and Chris is a perfect example of that process in action: working from a defined creative brief and elevating it into a cohesive, romantic and emotionally resonant setting.
