I am incredibly excited to introduce the first guest post by the lovely Charley from London Bride. I adore her beautiful wedding inspiration blog and am so happy that she will be writing a monthly guest post for Emily Quinton Photography!

Her first mood board is all about Country Casuals. Enjoy and be inspired!

This morning for the first time when my alarm went off at stupid a’clock I wasn’t fuzzy, heavy headed and in deep sleep like I normally am. Why? Well Mr Sun was seeping his gentle rays through my blinds to subtly awake me from my slumber.

As much as Winter I enjoy your fresh breath on my cheeks, your occasional white sprinklings and your festive times I’m afraid i’ve always had a better relationship with Spring. As such, this country casuals mood board echoes the early feel of spring time of farms and flowers, rustic charm and vintage touches. Casual Fun.

This makes me yearn for a cheeky little country jaunt, does it you?
