Your Yorkshire Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 63)

Vanity Fair This summer fairytale wedding shoot celebrates female empowerment and individuality Images courtesy of Clare Coleman Photography Inspired by the strong history and breathtaking beauty of Birdsall House, I wanted to design a Vanity Fair floral wedding shoot to create a timeless and elegant feel,” says Helen Emson of Willow & Bear Floral Design. “The focus was on empowering our bride to be strong, independent and individual in her wedding styling and choices. Having three different styling and floral looks reflected different sides of her personality, with a consistent strong classical look from her groom standing strong by her side. I used classical summer pastel ingredients with lots of roses, peonies, hydrangeas and seasonal British blooms for a bold contemporary look that blended with the stunning surroundings. The asymmetrical arch at the front is a bold representation of combining strength and beauty through florals; designed to set the trends rather than follow them. The table is set for an intimate celebration with a refined classical look and a contemporary edge to honour the couples’ love and devotion to each other.” “ 44
