Bridal Style: Pride & Prejudice at Cecil Green Park House June 23 2015, 0 Comments

We had the immense pleasure of working with Ken Tan Photography & Sahba Seifi of Sereno Weddings, on a beautiful collaboration at Cecil Green Park House. Ken is a talented film photographer, whose passion for photography comes through in every frame, and this Pride & Prejudice themed wedding editorial is no exception!
On the day of the shoot, the atmosphere was truly electric, as we worked alongside some incredibly talented vendors to bring Ken & Sahba's vision to life. It was wonderful to have so many inspiring individuals on set, each lending their own talents to the collaboration (the full list of vendor credits can be found at the bottom of this post).
Without further ado, we present you with a pretty, polished, and perfect, Pride & Prejudice themed styled shoot.

The Brielle Comb can be styled in too many fabulous ways to count; we like the idea of styling it like this with your veil, then moving it to the side for your reception.

Our Photoshoot : Behind the Scenes July 16 2014, 0 Comments

We had an amazing time working with the incredibly talented Anna and Kasia of Gucio Photography to capture the imagery that will soon be revealed on our website. Add in the oh-so-talented Katie of Katie Elwood Makeup Artistry and beautiful gowns from Truvelle Bridal and it truly was a bridal dream team. Below are few of the behind the scenes images captured from our three day photoshoot:


The Gucio Photography studio walls are filled with inspiration.


We loved this cute little table.


Each piece is lined up awaiting its time in front of the lens.


Our first test shot reveals that everything is perfect!


Our model, Emily, looking fabulous in the Cheylene dress by Truvelle Bridal,
the Elodie Comb by Jennifer Behr, and Crystal Floral Belt by Reem Acra.


Even brainstorming was beautiful that day.


One of our favourite looks. Model Carly in Truvelle's Michelle dress, wearing the
Diamond Leaves Headwrap by Jennifer Behr.


And that's a wrap. Model Leah in Truvelle's Cheylene dress, wearing
Jenny Packham's Kalmia Bracelet, Tesoro Earrings, and Kalmia Comb.
