Both Joshua and Rhea fell in love with Apton Hall, and it matched their sage green colour scheme perfectly, to Rhea's delight! Rhea wore a stunning, satin off-the-shoulder ballgown, purchased from Bellissima Weddings. Her bride tribe were by her side on the day she said yes, and it was safe to say there were tears all round. The design, Essence of Australia was another nod to travel! It was certainly meant to be. The groom and his fellow groomsmen looked dapper in cream three-piece suits, whilst the bridesmaids wore mix and match gowns in sage.

At the core of the shoot is shoot organiser, Janie's, deep personal connection to the venue, which was once her great-grandmother's home and is now a beloved family-run wedding space. The photos capture areas she remembers fondly from childhood, making the entire shoot feel personal and rooted in family history because, ultimately, everything about this venue comes back to home.

Art Deco wedding inspiration featuring celestial jewellery trends at The Arlington Ballroom. Shoot organiser and hair and make-up artist, Anna Vine, said, “I wanted to focus this shoot on vintage fashion and styling for a wedding to highlight how you can have a unique and classic day whilst being as sustainable as possible. Rather than purchasing a brand-new piece worn only once, more couples are choosing to thrift or seek vintage fashion, combining sustainability with personal expression. And here's the twist: who says it must be white? "

Hedingham Castle was the backdrop to Eleonora and Daniella's Anglo-Italian wedding day, where every toast came with a side of amore .Ellie wore a Vera Wang dress, purchased in a boutique in Italy. Ellie describes, “I knew I was looking for something different and dramatic. I love fashion and I had been looking at different designers but there aren't many out there that can compete with Vera Wang.” Dan's dress was handmade from Cambridge Bridal Studio. The corseted dress she chose was perfect for her, she'd always told Ellie, “I want to be a fairy on my wedding day” and she certainly looked whimsy and ethereal.

For the Hamilton’s, the party was key and chose an incredible DJ and Saxophone player for the evening. Daisy adds, “We wanted to make sure that the dancefloor was filled all night, and it definitely was! We had guests request songs when they RSVP’d, so it was fun to see reactions when their request was played throughout the night! The saxophonist was incredible – it was top of our list for entertainment when we started planning the wedding and we’re so glad that we made it such a priority!”

Both Ellie and Dan fell in love with Hedingham Castle and its beautiful gardens. Ellie tells us, “Even though we didn't pick a specific theme, we knew we wanted colour since it was a summer wedding. We chose simple wildflowers as we knew the colours would pop and create a beautiful contrast with the castle and its history. The décor, centrepieces and favours were all handmade, as well as all the signage. This was to ensure everything had our style and stamp - rustic and joyful.”
