Styling A Luxury Bridal Shoot

I am truly proud to share a little more of this incredible Pink Ombre Wedding Inspiration bridal shoot working together with the finest wedding suppliers right here on my wedding blog.  I really do hope you enjoy all the lovely details of this stylish & elegant City Wedding shot on location at Carlton House Terrace London.

I am humbled to have been sought after by the lovely Natasha – the visionary, stylist and planner behind this beautifully curated bridal shoot.  In fact, I was so star struck when we spoke, that I only asked two questions about the details (which is rare as I often want to see a mood board, colours, photographers work etc on the basis of what I have learned from past experiences).  But something told me, ‘its going to be OK’.  And I was right not to worry, as Natasha, alongside the talented photographer Maxeen Kim, were a force to be reckoned with

Pink Ombre Wedding

The Story

Setting the scene & moving beyond the dream – takes weeks and weeks of planning, negotiating, revisiting and reshaping in order to achieve anything like what you can see here.  I’m  sharing this point purely because of the huge quantities of stuff – I mean boxes upon boxes of stuff –  that arrive  at the venue on the day.  The only reference point that I can make to give you any real insight into this, is to imagine what it feels like to move house.  And yet, Natasha, was  unruffled cool,  calm and organised with organising, directing and orchestrating towards her vision – with utmost precision.

.

We took over the entire top floor of Carlton House.  Every corner was filled with someone crafting away and fine tuning their contributing Pink Ombre Wedding products in readiness for when the shoot began.  Sometimes this be the first time many of us will get the chance to actually meet each other and put a face to the name that we have perhaps followed for months on social media.  But equally, there will be lovely moments of catching up with others who I have met & worked with before , which always help with settling down and feeling relaxed.

Even after all this time in the industry, I still love the experience of working in bridal shoots and fashion shows because the creative energy and the magic of seeing someone’s dream evolve and take shape is unbelievable.  From seeing how others ingeniously apply their craft into transforming this incredible London Terrace House, with its high ornate ceilings and stunning fireplaces into a wonderland of beauty

The Florals

The fabulously talented Bilen, founder of Queen of Hearts Floral Design who I have had the pleasure of working with previously, created a masterful 10ft table runner built entirely from David Austin Roses; ,and which Bilen positioned in graduated shades of cream, light pink, lilac, fuchsia and purple roses.  Combining the colours created the flawless Pink Ombre Wedding Flower theme that became the centre of attention on the day!  To see it up close and to breathe the aromas was awe-inspiring.

Above the fireplace, she styled foliage including honey bracelet, eucalyptus, and leather fern with delphinium, iris and lavender added, to add height and impact without competing against the features of the venue.  Blush roses as used in the table runner, were inserted at the bottom of the foliage to bring the whole look together.

The brides bouquet was bright and vibrant.  Made up of orange alstroemeria, peach gerbera daisy, large garden roses in shades of deep orange, purple dahlia and cala lilies.

DRESS | ANGELICA | Handcrafted Bespoke Wedding Dress with Long Sleeves | www.ouimadam.com

My vision for the shoot began with the venue.  I wanted to create a dress that was clean cut & immaculately tailored with a single wow factor.  I had several ideas as to what would take your breath away within such a beautiful venue – but then, hit a wall as I just couldn’t decide on how much detail would strike the right balance.

.

I normally start a design with a very specific woman in mind, light skinned, dark skinned, long hair, short etc, and I use all that information to determine the balance of details and volume that then is the dress.

.

I think the dress here speaks for itself.  However, there is so much to be said about the making of ANGELICA, that I will continue the story behind this dress (if you would like to know more) because it was designed  – or should I say re-designed – specifically for this shoot and so deserves a story all of its own

Styling Tips For Couples

 “Don’t be afraid of using your favourite colours. Choose colours that complement each other and bring it through in different details in your wedding. For example, the soft colours in this shoot were not only translated in the flowers but also through the candles, table linen,glassware, gorgeous cake and the beautiful stationery.  Work with your venues aesthetics. You don’t need to go over the top with elaborate tall table flowers in a large venue, let the flowers speak for themselves”.

Cynthia made my mum’s beautiful bespoke bridal dress. She took my mum’s initial ideas and within minutes had sketched out a unique design that encapsulated everything my mum wanted. Throughout the whole process Cynthia was extremely helpful and professional, we completely trusted her that she would produce something that matched my mum’s vision and make her feel special. Thank you Cynthia for such an exquisite bespoke wedding dress!
