An Essex Wedding - November/December 2023 (Issue 113)

Capture the moment Timeless elegance, from the grounds of Down Hall Hotel, Spa & Estate Images courtesy of Matt Heath Photography 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 makeup 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.” 67 LOCAL INSPIRATION
