ELYSE & RADEK

We received a request in our Easter post for some more information on Elyse & Radek's wedding. Bride to Be featured a lovely three page story on their wedding in a recent edition of their magazine. We have included some more information below for you as well.

Elyse wore a stunning soft vintage style empire-line couture design by Strictly Bridal Emporium. It featured a full train, lace beaded bodice, lace cap sleeves and a 3.5metre mantila veil with beaded trim. Her ivory french style peep-toe shoes with lace detail and bow were from Cinderella Bella

Her bridesmaids matched perfectly with dusty mauve full length gowns with shoe string straps and crystal beading under the bust. The bridesmaid bouquets from the Bouquet Boutique included a complimentary flower to match the dresses. The groom & groomsmen wore suits by Ermenegildo Zegna with thin black ties.

Elyse & Radek chose their rings from Tiffany & Co and Canturi. The ceremony music at Our Lady of Victories was performed by Stirling Strings and the couples reception was held at Restaurant II. And lastly this is one of my favorite "cupcake" wedding cakes which was designed & made by Cake Star. It looks just as sweet as Elyse & Radek x

Beach Style Wedding Inspiration

As I have been scanning the internet yet again for inspirations for our own photography shoots, I have yet again stumbled across yet another hugely talented and creative blog, Designs by Hemingway. I found this wonderful beach theme with this fabulous colour scheme and to die for table setting, if only my local Spanish chiringuito looked like this I would be in heaven!

Red and white wedding inspiration

A few of our brides this year are having a red and white theme for their wedding and we have been working on this colour scheme with various styles and inspiration boards to reflect these different variations.

Combine red roses with diamante and tall martinis for a more glamorous, smart black tie affair. Red roses, of course being the flower of love! Packed tightly into martinis or low table arrangements are stunning just as one single rose in a vase.

Flowers that work well with this smart, elegant scheme are white cala lilies and red roses,

a fabulous floral combination for the stylish sophisticated wedding.

We have also been creating another red and white wedding beach theme using red anthuriums and white orchids, a different and more tropical combination. But again two fabulous flowers that as a combo work really well together.

Warm this up with a few oranges or striking greens and you completely change the look.

Reds and whites of course are also a hugely popular colour choice for the chill out look, which of course if you are planning a chill out style for your wedding, will combine really rather well.

Finish this off with a themed cocktail such as one of my favourites, Strawberry Daquiri and you have a party in the making!
