Not only will it inspire, it will allow you to see your LOCAL super talented suppliers from Cambridgeshire in action. Alison from Make up by Alison tells us the inspiration for each aspect of the shoot. Who’s excited?!!!

“We wanted to show the awakening of spring after a long winter with subtle touches of spring colours in the coziness of warm wintry colours indoors then heading out to the beautiful garden.”

VENUE

“Hotel Felix was the backdrop for our styled shoot, combining contemporary design and traditional victorian architecture this boutique hotel is perfect for a burst of fresh air on your wedding day.” 

This Victorian Mansion is far from being left in the past. Its interior blends contemporary art with the victorian features to give it the edge over other manor houses. If you’re looking for a unique flair to the day, Hotel Felix could be it.

DRESS

“The dress was handmade by Ashley Sims and we loved the subtle sparkle catching the sunlight as she moved.”

This absolutely stunning, handcrafted wedding dress was created by Ashley Sims, Cambridge’s own wedding dress seamstress. Ashley Sims is known for its unique custom-made wedding dresses that pride themselves on being affordable. An extremely specialized, couture wedding gown has never been so close within reach. If you’re not finding what you’re looking for and desperate for something unique, make sure you check her out!

FLOWERS

“Emily grouped together the delicate tubarose, daffodils, olive, the highly lustrous ranunculus and the fragrant honeysuckle vine, harmonizing the colours into an eye-catching Spring bouquet and centre piece.”

Emily Talullah has an obvious flare for florals. Her elaborate bouquets and arrangements are made to look effortless, as if the bride were holding blossoms she picked as she walked to the ceremony, and yet they could also be mistaken for high end works of art. Her talent is unmistakeable. If you are still looking for a florist to transform your wedding, look no further. Your most important accessory just got better.

MAKE UP
