The Copper Cacti specialises in florals using mainly succulents for couples looking for something quirky and unusual for their big days. Shoot organiser Chloe says, “I wanted to create a shoot where it was fun and funky, something that isn't seen in bridal magazines that often and could give brides and grooms ideas of maybe something different that they hadn't considered before! Luckily, I have met on the 'circuit' some other amazing Essex-based suppliers who, like me, enjoy doing something different, so it was easy to message everyone to get them involved in this really fun shoot.”
