Alice in Weddingland Bridal Shoot

Written by , Posted in Styled Shoots

OK so the idea of an Alice in Wonderland wedding is nothing new, they have become a popular theme for weddings as tea parties made their way back onto the scene, but I have to admit they never grow old. There is something so magical yet a little crazy about the story of Alice in Wonderland. We were ecstatic when Ellis from Ellis Wedding Shows contacted us to let us know that she was going to be organising a Alice in Weddingland shoot.

We popped along on the day to see what was going on and was amazed to see so many creative ideas, from a three tier flower display in teacups to brightly coloured cupcakes and macaroons. There were stripey tights, top hats and a pair of beautiful blue shoes that both myself and Jess fell in love with. Whimsical clocks and furniture were dotted around the set, the makeup artists also had fun painting on key holes and creating some pretty damn awesome hairstyles.

This shoot has so many great ideas for a wedding, I promise you will be completely inspired…

“Oh I Do Like To be Beside the Seaside…”- A Shoot with the Fabulous Craig Dearsley!

Written by , Posted in Personal, Styled Shoots

IMG_2733

We have been sooooooo excited to share these photos with you guys!! Our latest shoot was the brainchild of the god damn awesome Craig Dearsley, a fab photographer and husband to the equally talented and beautiful Veronica Dearly (You may remember her as the creator of ‘The Extra-Ordinarily Helpful Introduction to Planning a Wedding‘). We first met this uber cool couple at the Designer Vintage Wedding Show in Worcester last year. We instantly hit it off after having a very weird conversation about chairs and have kept in touch ever since.

Inside The Mind of A Stylist: Nicholas Parnell

Written by , Posted in Styled Shoots, Vendor Love

When I heard that my friend Nicholas Parnell was getting into styling, I couldn’t have been more excited! In the many years that I’ve known him it’s clear that he’s always had a great eye for fashion, style and creating a look that stands out from the crowd which is exactly what we’re about here at Bespoke Bride! Nicholas wants all the brides out there to know that your dream wedding, whatever it may be, is possible and with the help of a stylist these ideas can become a reality! We quizzed him to find out how he works and where he gets his inspiration from plus we’ve even nabbed a styled shoot by Nick! Listen up ladies and gents because this is one hot stylist you don’t want to miss…

Nicholas Parnell

Ok Nick, let’s start from the beginning, how did you get into wedding styling?
My Sister Julia Parnell! She is a fabulous TV producer in New Zealand and got married back in March where she had a fabulous out door ceremony looking over the water. For her wedding she had a 4 post bamboo structure built which I dressed in white cotton and yellow ribbons. She wore an amazing lace dress by designer Nicole Miller and it was the perfect summer wedding! I enjoyed being involved in her wedding so much that it inspired me to use my styling skills and open up my business to brides.

Styled Shoot: Dark 1950′s Glamour

Written by , Posted in Styled Shoots

As some of you may know, me and Emily are still in the process of setting up our new business venture; The Online Wedding Show and in order to promote it we decided to set up a styled shoot with some fabulous vendors! It was a great way for us to meet new people in the industry and work with a few old friends! Although I have to admit, it was pretty scary being in front of the camera with a handful of people watching! Ed Taylor did a great job with all of the photos and we’re so excited to finally be sharing them with you…

We also had the whole shoot documented and filmed by the talented I Do Wedding Films so be sure to read onto the end of the post to see it in action!

Weekend Wedding Inspiration: A Jubilee Tea Party In The Bluebells

Written by , Posted in Styled Shoots

What better time to have a tea party than the week leading up to the Queen’s jubilee?

Our jubillee inspired photoshoot was shot in the lovely bluebell woods in the Royal Forest of Dean where we had the chance to collaborate with Matt and Charmian from Lillac Hill Vintage tea party. We thought a tea party would be a wonderfully fitting way to celebrate her majesty’s 60 years on the throne.

Wednesday Wedding Inspiration: Part 1 of our shoot at Yosemite with dresses by “Green Queen” Deborah Lindquist!

Written by , Posted in Bridal Fashion, Destination Weddings, Photography, Styled Shoots

Finally it’s here, the shoot we have been rambling on about since we came back from California a couple of weeks ago!

When we decided to visit California a shoot with the wonderful Mariel Hannah was always going to be on the cards, but when we were offered the chance to shoot dresses designed by eco couture designer Deborah Lindquist we knew it was going to be something special.

Deborah Lindquist is famous in the fashion world as the “Green Queen” designing environmentally conscious couture dresses as well as a host of other ready to wear apparel. She uses recycled and eco-friendly materials for all of her designs, not only ensuring  she is doing her bit to take care of the planet, but also means that each of her designs has a very unique look. Many of Deborah’s designs have an iconic vintage cashmere style about them that has created her a following of fans around the world as well as with stars such as Jessica Alba, Christina Aguilera and Rihanna.

A Rustic Woodland Bridal Shoot at Yosemite

Written by , Posted in Bridal Fashion, Destination Weddings, Photography, Styled Shoots

As we may have mentioned (once or twice!) we were lucky enough to be a part of three separate bridal shoots while we were up in Yosemite, one of which we are going to be sharing with you today!!

We wanted the theme around this photo shoot to be very woodland based and rustic which worked out perfectly for the area we were in.

We hope you enjoy this inspired shoot as much as we enjoyed doing it! 

To make this photo shoot extra exciting we had an additional photographer and a make-up artist! Both Mariel and Amber are super talented and we would highly recommend them for weddings!
