This glorious shoot is bursting with inspiration, thanks to a talented team! Mercedes Gale Parr, founder of 4YaParty Weddings & Events, was the driving force behind the day. As a recommended supplier at Brockwell Hall, and having eagerly awaited its reopening to work her magic, Mercedes took the shoot in her stride. She says, “As usual, there was a strong, sustainable ethos, as there is in all my shoots. This started with having all local South London wedding suppliers, many of whom travelled by public transport, and included reusable glassware, animal-friendly hair and makeup products, and absolutely no single-use plastic in sight! I wanted to show that sustainable weddings can still be trendy and modern without creating waste. Brockwell Hall, with its updated sustainable practices, was the perfect backdrop for our rustic and bright disco shoot. Our beautiful real couple was perfect for the day, as their personalities matched our vibrant colour scheme perfectly — it was a real joy to bring everything together!” Discover more in our September/October issue, available to download for free now.

The wedding industry keeps evolving, shifting from traditional multi-day celebrations to more intimate, creative, and personal experiences. Music is no exception. We caught up with Alleya Weibel, Director at Solas Strings, to talk about how string music is changing the wedding game. “String musicians have always been a wedding staple,” Alleya shares. “For years, we have seen ceremonies begin with Can't Help Falling in Love (Elvis), Canon in D (Pachelbel), or Wildest Dreams (Taylor Swift). Now, we're seeing new songs take trend, like Ordinary (Alex Warren) and Adore U (Fred Again).” One surprising hit this year? The Formula 1 theme song, performed by a string trio. “These fun songs add personality and air to processional exits or drinks receptions,” Alleya says. Cinematic favourites like Einaudi, Hans Zimmer, and John Williams are also in high demand. Discover more in our September/October issue, available to download for free now.
