An Essex Wedding - January/February 2022 (Issue 102)

Local suppliers collaborated on this gorgeous Narnia-inspired winter wedding shoot Images courtesy of Hannah-Victoria Photography Shoot coordinators Sam Easter and Marina Moore, of Beautiful You and Bridal Hair by Marina respectively, wanted to create a styled shoot that looked luxurious, frosty, yet accessible. Set at Crondon Park’s The Baronial Hall, a fine example of a Tudor/Jacobean barn with a truly special atmosphere, Sam shares more about her inspiration. “We focused on a white and green colour scheme which was reflected in the highquality silk flowers, supplied and designed by the florist, boasting a mixture of crisp white flowers including hydrangea, contrasted with frosted green foliage still staying true to the warmth that many brides love for their wedding day. “With an incredible supplier team on board, we aimed to create a world that blended fashionforward elements with a luxurious twist, while still retaining little details that couples could recreate for their wedding. “The ice-white palette, complete with lighted candles in glass jars, frosted green foliage snow and little touches of sparkle, interspersed throughout the scheme giving a gentle feel of winter. The incredible table setting was placed below a frosted willow tree, the perfect scene for a romantic banquet! The styling creates a magical feel with glassware and silver place settings, shortbread biscuit snowflakes and mini meringues, not forgetting the decorative crisp white menu cards and frosted glass table plan. Of course, no banquet is complete without a stunning cake and the simplicity and elegance here was just beautiful. “The hair and make-up for our model, Emily, was achieved with outstanding Hollywood waves and elegant timeless make-up that complemented the beautiful dresses supplied from Martels Bridal Boutique – all encompassed the spirit of our ice queen! “We wanted to gather a group of creative wedding suppliers to bring the ideas to life, and every business involved in our shoot contributed with their own ideas making it a success! Looking back at our photos, captured perfectly by Hannah Victoria our very talented photographer, we certainly turned the dream in to reality.” The snow queen STYLED SHOOT 53
