In association with Kismet Photography this shoot was staged at their very own Longford Barn. This shoot enabled us to experiment with some wild ideas and work with some fantastic suppliers, it was featured on 'Style Unveiled' in October 2014.
We decided to shoot this imaginative theme as we were keen
to escape from the confines of a traditional white wedding and do something
really different. It was initially inspired by my Golden Pheasant mood board –
the bird has glorious feathers and is Chinese in origin.
Weddings always appear to follow fashion and interiors, we
were keen to explore growing trends towards glitter / sequins and bold rich
tones and fabrics. Velvets are coming back in this season and the trend for
colour in gowns and flowers is growing, people are becoming braver. It also
provides a total contrast from the rustic barn venue, giving it a warmth it is
missing. The gold sequin drapes reflected the light from the candles and uplighters
to give a stunning magical effect.
We contacted Occasions florist as we wanted to dress the
entire venue to help Kismet promote there space, and to look at how it could be
used for an intimate wedding. Lesley often works in silks as well as fresh flowers,
she brought along all her flowers to the venue so she could see the dressing before
creating her pieces. Everything was done on site.
The theme was circulated around the contributors using
Pinterest, a board that we could add to as our look developed, so the cake,
hair and make-up were developed by sharing pins.
The sequinned dress made a huge statement, so the hair and accessories
were kept Hollywood glamourous, with an eastern twist. Using a simple Ottoman
Hands gemstone necklace as a hair ornament, with matching earrings. The
Labradorite stone caught the colour of the sequins perfectly.
Really liked the mesmerizing wedding styles. My sister went for a bridal shower of her friend at one of the seaside located wedding venues in our city couple of weeks before. She was impressed with the beautiful ambience and lightings.
