This pink design, by cake designer Stephanie Blythe, is soft and romantic showing how square and round cakes can be combined together.

Shoot organiser and hair stylist on the day, Lisa Curtis had a vision to create a Celtic styled shoot in the historical setting of Layer Marney Tower. She explains, “My inspiration came from Galadriel in Lord of the Rings, from the loosely waved hairstyle to the floaty sleeved dress and draped cape. A lot of brides are having themes for their wedding day, I wanted to inspire those brides who would opt for a castle or historical setting by creating a medieval feel. I opted for the staircase greenery, candles and the soft hues of the bouquet to deliver a dramatic feel to this shoot.”
