ST YLING Many young people who are traveling or living abroad spend Christmas away from home, but still want to make it a special celebration to enjoy with those around them. This shoot was all about celebrating the holidays amongst friends in a cozy but casual way. Cushions, rugs and an easy picnic style Christmas menu set the tone for a festive and fun Christmas on the floor! The whole idea behind this shoot was keeping the food and
styling as effortless as possible, offering up an array of ideas that don't involve excess hours of prep in the kitchen or formal table settings. Style wise, we wanted the setting to have a quintessential Christmas vibe to it, while being very informal and youthful with a slight boho feel to it. We did a fresh take on classical Christmas hues with a colour scheme of maroon, duck egg blue, creamy whites and brass.
