A Magical Mini Wedding Collection

“Shooting at the Duke of Cornwall was effortless, the venue is a delight with beautiful architecture, designs and windows letting in light allowing for brilliant compositions. All the suppliers on the day were fantastic to work with, they all did a great job to make the venue look even better and the bridal prep was incredible. There are so many different places to take wonderful photos in the venue, from the intimate tower rooms with its incredible view to the bright ceremony rooms. I was very much spoilt for choice in taking photos of their wedding collection in 2018.”

“For this photoshoot we took our cake design inspiration from the beautiful stationary provided by Dearly Beloved. Keeping the design bold with deep navy blue and crisp white roses and then replicating the invitation design onto the centre of the cake. Finishing off with a long trailing white silk ribbon.”

“It is always a pleasure to work at The Duke and this time for the Mini Collection I chose a classic bridal look with two different Models. One had a stronger more evening inspired look and with the other a romantic daytime makeup look was achieved. Flawless dewy skin and makeup that enhanced their features was a key for both models. The Mini Collection itself was a lovely well attended evening with lots of wonderful suppliers.”

“Another fantastic day at The Duke of Cornwall. This time I was styling for a 2018 Photoshoot and Mini collection in the evening. The Duke allowed me free rein with my hair styling, so I chose a modern day collection. This year, whilst styling my beautiful brides these were some stunning hair ups I loved to create. They are simple, elegant and very effective styles. The ‘Halo’ braid has been used a lot for both brides and bridesmaids as it is very versatile for different hair lengths and thicknesses. Although it has been popular, I’d say you would never get two hair ups exactly the same so the style stays looking unique. The ‘Rapunzel plait’ is also one of my favourites, it is just beautiful! It can be smooth, shiny and slightly more structured. Or it can be teased out and soft. Unfortunately, this doesn’t suit all hair types, as you can imagine you do need quite a bit of thickness and length to create such a detailed long plait. I really love being part of The Duke as they are a lovely friendly team, I cannot wait to be invited again.”

“I designed a blue vintage round detail comb with a matching hair pin set for the collection shoot as the shape and styling of the comb reflected the decedent feel of The Duke of Cornwall. The blue is a timeless colour and tied in with the styling of the function room. I also provided a beaded leaf vine which had a deco feel and floral comb. Although different in style the vintage elements and subtle sparkle provide any bride an elegant look fitting for The Duke. Although I was unable to attend the collection on the day, I love working with brides getting married there and am thrilled to be one of their recommended suppliers. The support and level of detail they provide for couples marrying there is second to none which in turn means I work with calm and relaxed brides!”

“I love performing at the Duke Mini Collection events and entertaining the couples and suppliers on the evening. It is always a pleasure to perform at such a beautiful venue”
