Today we have something a little different on the blog…an unseen shoot from the archives. I was asked to collaborate with Reverie Magazine and one of London’s most exclusive florists By Appointment Only, to do a styled bridal fashion shoot on board the luxury Orient Express in London!

Did you know that you can take a step back in time and travel all the way to Venice from London aboard The Orient Express? How wonderfully luxurious…

Styled shoots are a popular way for wedding industry creatives to come together and design something from their imagination. We took a step back in time to create a 1920’s feel shoot with vintage style wedding dresses, which complemented the location perfectly. Working in a tight space had it’s challenges but overall what we came out with was something classic, gorgeous and beautiful! It makes me want to book that trip right now……dreaming already……

Clara re-interpreted the tropical theme of the year with an elegant but fun approach for this pre-wedding bridal party shoot. Fake flamingoes and a featherly wedding gown were mixed with fun pineapples. Antique family silverware, bright pink peonies, fresh limes and African animal prints created the perfect set for our colourful studio shoot, designed to inspire brides with the idea of enjoying an extravagant afternoon with their bridesmaids before the big day.
