A Whimsical Summer's Day...

These beautiful images were taken back in Summer 2012, but as I've taken a leap into my new Blogger, I didn't want anyone who hadn't seen the old blog, to miss out on these beauties!

So, take one fabulous make-up artist/wedding accessory designer/shoot coordinator for the day...Carole of Pretty Perfect, the endlessly talented Kate Hopewell-Smith photography, gorgeous gowns for the fabulous Ann of Ann's Bridal Room, beautiful models - Anna and Amy and of course - flowers by Gingerlily Flowers.

But the day wouldn't have been quite so much fun without the help of top Wedding Planner/Coordinator - Anna of Bride & Glory, who as well as being chief helper, pass me this, hold that person, arrived armed with fresh coffee!! Our savior!

We decided to do a collaborative shoot, where we could showcase new designs, ideas and inspirations, perhaps something a little out of the ordinary, just because...we wanted to.

The exaggerated headdress is by no means practical, but it has the wow factor and someone may like the idea of dramatic hair flowers but couldn't visualise it - perhaps just 3 blooms clustered together would be ample (and more manageable) but the vision came from something grander.

The purple Vanda Orchid 'floating' bouquet, is minimalistic and daring, but brides have loved the look of the falling flowers and this has further inspired new bouquet styles. 

I hope you like what we created, it's fun, fresh and colourful.
Enjoy...
