Your Sussex Wedding - June/July 2023 (Issue 103)

This Bridgerton-themed styled shoot will have you swooning Images courtesy of Paul Placitelli Photography This Bridgerton-inspired shoot was designed to recreate the elegance and opulence of the Regency era,” venue stylist Lauren Russell of Ambience West Sussex expalins. “Large blooms of pastel lilacs and blues create an impactful moongate and meadow-style aisle arrangements, while the model brides’ elegant A-line gowns paired with whimsical long veils and classic make-up are accompanied by beautifully ornate hair pieces and jewellery befitting of the period.” We adore the dreamy table set up, consisting of gold-footed bowl arrangements, flowing chiffon and an abundance of candlelight. The place settigs would be the talk of the Ton, adorned with exquisite vintage crockery and glassware with romantic stationery featuring delicate bows and hand-written names. Finally, the three-tier Wedgewood blue cake is a real showstopper that looks too good to eat, with its intricate gold gilding and beautiful sugar flower details. Photorapher Paul Placitelli says, “I wanted the images to capture the feel of the period, so the posing shot was of that timeless style. The venue, Alexander House Hotel, was the perfect backdrop for this theme, with its period feel, elegant decor and vast landscaped grounds. An absolute joy to photograph.” The result offers inspiration aplenty, especially if you’re as obsessed with the Netflix hit as we are. Roll on series three!
