Something Bold, Something Blue

The Midlands MagazineDecember 12, 2023

The concept behind this styled shoot was to break free from traditional wedding norms and embrace the bold and unexpected to exude an air of daring elegance. A group of local suppliers joined forces to create an extraordinary, styled wedding photoshoot with the theme “Something Bold, Something Blue”, located at Highgate Wine Estate, an elegant venue with picturesque surroundings. The aim was to craft an experience that was both unusual and magical, capturing the essence of love in a truly unique way.

 

Every detail was thoughtfully curated to add a touch of magic. The ceremony backdrop featured a cascading mix of dried and fresh florals, creating an ethereal effect against the modern winery. The bride’s ensemble defied convention, as she dazzled in a daring tulle gown adorned with intricate beading, accentuated by a timeless hair and makeup look. The groom complemented her boldness with a modern two-tone suit, perfectly tailored to match the theme. The reception showcased a blend of elegance and edginess. Blush, cream and powder blue tablescapes were adorned with organic elements, romantic candles and whimsical pastel accents. A decadent wedding cake stood as the pièce de résistance, with a sculptural element adding finesse and drama.

 

The skilled photographer and videographer brought out the essence of this magical affair. Using unconventional angles, moody lighting, and imaginative composition, they captured the couple’s love in a series of breathtaking images that told a story of daring romance and enchantment.
