Your East Anglian Wedding - August/September 2023 (Issue 62)

Classic luxury Inspired to create a simple, luxurious shoot with leafy green and white flowers, a team of local suppliers worked together to bring their vision to life in this styled shoot at The Venue at Fulbourn Lodge Images courtesy of Weddings by Alexandra Arlett Becky Howard from Legendary Makeup decided to orchestrate a styled shoot themed around opulence but with a contemporary feel. “With a lot of colourful weddings and shoots already taking place, we wanted this shoot to be simpler and more classic with leafy green and white flowers,” shares Becky. “The Venue at Fulbourn Lodge is a purpose-built events barn situated in the heart of the beautiful South Cambridgeshire countryside. With idyllic rural views, it offers a picturesque and relaxed setting for those celebrating their special day. The rustic timber frame barn is filled with character, with a classic but modern feel, and has a gorgeous outdoor landscaped garden and lake. To align with the classic luxury concept, Lily Francis Bridal dressed the model in a simple, sleek A-line wedding dress. With a beautiful V-shape front and back, and a straight skirt and train, this wedding dress was the epitome of chic. This was paired with an elegant, satin edge cathedral-length veil to frame and emphasise the dress. “I was inspired by old Hollywood glamour and gave the bride flawless skin and smoky eyes, which worked perfectly with the beautiful Hollywood waves created by Piggy Rose Beauty,” continues Becky. “Jess from Copper & Bloom Cambridge has a great eye for modern-luxe design. The tableware set-up of gold and white is elegance personified, with the white providing a sleek appearance. The simplicity of using white candles and the jar candles for the aisle kept the shoot slick and clean. This was paired with a luxurious all-white wedding cake with edible wafer paper ruffles created by Amber’s Bakes and Cakes. It was the perfect mix of fun and elegance. Elly’s Flower Studio was absolutely the right choice for this shoot; sticking to the colour palette of white and green, Elly totally nailed the brief, with the gypsophila arch being a real showstopper.” 61 STYLED SHOOT
