Be inspired at Down Hall

Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate was the obvious choice for this styled shoot that blended fashion with luxury.

Shoot organisers, hair stylist, Marina and make-up artist, Samantha wanted the look to be luxurious, yet whimsical, so focused on ivory and pink hues. The flowers were supplied and designed by C Taylors Floristry - a selection of shimmer peach pink roses, astilbe and floating stems of ammi majus to express a natural gathering of country garden flowers, still staying true to the warmth that many brides love for their wedding day.

Samantha adds, "The hair and make-up for our model Emily, was to create and achieve the look of sheer elegance; a Hollywood waved ponytail with timeless make-up. A Paul Zeni Couture bridal dress, called Aphrodite was supplied by Martels Bridal Boutique, who are the only stockist of this fabulous designer in Essex."
