romance These local suppliers came together to create an outdoor, vintage shoot that could be recreated by modern brides-to-be who adore 1950’s elegance Images courtesy of Ailsa Reeve Photography The concept for this shoot came from the supplier’s love for the 1950s, vintage crockery, and gorgeous colour palettes. Featuring pinks, blush, lilacs, and white florals with a light and airy feel, captured by Ailsa Reeve Photography, the shoot was planned and curated by Sally Jean Wedding Cakes and Sarah Borrows Weddings with romantic, detail-focused styling at The Casterton Grange Estate. A stone’s throw from the pretty villages of Casterton and Kirkby Lonsdale in Cumbria, this estate combines classic style with modern luxury. The tablescape featured specially selected pink floral vintage China layered with white and gold accents, champagne coupes and embroidered napkins provided by Sarah at The Vintage Tea Service, and modern gold cutlery from Whitehouse Event Crockery. Finishing touches were added to the table with blush-tapered candles in white porcelain candle holders by Narrative Event Hire. The embossed menu cards with blush calligraphy and soft, luxurious ribbons were enveloped in a floral outer package with a vellum sleeve. A flowing silk-printed sign with the words ‘It was always you’ created an air of romance – all created by NorthernmadeCo. The fresh floral arrangements and bouquet created by Seed & Wild combined modern design with vintage style, providing a fine art feel to the stunning florals. The elegant four-tier wedding cake was decorated with a modern, sharp finish, handcrafted sugar flowers and delicate lace textures to complement the two bridal gowns. Gourmet fresh strawberries, vanilla marshmallows and dainty iced biscuit favours, also made by Sally Jean Wedding Cakes, adorned the crockery and vintage glass cake stands. The team created two looks during this shoot and even switched out the wedding cake tiers to create two slightly different styles. The bridal gowns were perfect for this vintage-themed wedding. Both were designed by the iconic brand Ellis Bridals and supplied by Keeley at Eden Wedding Boutique, along with a selection of timeless pearl jewellery, hair accessories and a veil. Two elegant 1950’s hair styles were recreated with a modern twist by Kym at Wolfe Studios. The first was soft and flowing, with a delicate white floral and pearl hairpiece to one side in classic vintage style. For the second, Kym created a glamorous and elegant up do, finished with a white floral and trailing pearl headpiece. The natural make-up by Emma Askew was perfectly applied to give a pretty and sophisticated look to the model, who looked the epitome of vintage elegance. VINTAGE 53 STYLED SHOOT
