The Location
Steeped in history, the venue was once owned by the creator of Moulton. Its architecture exudes timeless elegance, with intricate details and a stately charm that immediately captivate. Inside, the rich woodwork and opulent rooms provided an ideal backdrop for this shoot’s regal theme. The authenticity of the venue played a key role in shaping the atmosphere, adding depth and character to the entire shoot.
A Timeless Elegance
One of the most stunning settings of the shoot was the expansive Green Royal Room. The room’s rich green walls and classical architecture set the stage for some of the most regal bridal looks.
The gowns chosen for this space were equally opulent, from the striking square-neck dress with a voluminous skirt to the grand strapless design with puff sleeves and a rider jacket. These dresses perfectly complemented the room’s luxurious feel, evoking a sense of royal grandeur and timeless style.
Each look exuded sophistication, while the soft lighting highlighted the intricate detailing of the gowns. It was a moment where fashion met history, and the result was pure magic.
Vintage Charm Meets Bridal Beauty
The team moved to the Bike Room, where vintage charm met modern bridal elegance. The satin dress with a floaty jacket was the perfect choice for this setting, offering a fresh yet classic look. Styled with a stunning lace cape, the look effortlessly combined contemporary fashion with vintage romance. Charlotte Falber created stunning makeup looks for this styled shoot, enhancing the overall elegance and timeless beauty of the bridal looks.
A Minimalist Reception Setting
The reception space was a vision of minimalist elegance, where every element served to highlight the beauty of the venue itself. Rather than overwhelming the room with excessive décor, the design was simple yet impactful, focusing on the authentic beauty of the historic setting.
The soft lighting and carefully placed furniture allowed the space’s architectural details to shine.
A Bridal Inspiration for Modern Couples
The Retro Room offered a different kind of inspiration with its timeless, classic charm. This space encapsulated the essence of a modern bride who seeks sophistication, elegance, and a touch of royal flair.
This shoot speaks to brides who are looking to break away from traditional wedding aesthetics while maintaining an air of classic sophistication.
