Your London Wedding - March/April 2022 (Issue 82)

Flower A French Renaissance backdrop set the scene for this stunning shoot Images courtesy of Valentina Val Photography Nahama Burke of London’s Mockingbird and Magnolia Flowers got together with a team of local suppliers to create this fine-art styled shoot. “The inspiration was the stunning French Renaissance period backdrop with relaxed styling and bridal wear and the idea was to showcase two different looks in the same setting,” Nahama explains. “As the floral designer, my idea was to give an insight into how effective on-trend, simple florals can be and how they can easily change the look and feel of any venue,” she adds. One style showcased beautiful neutrals whilst the other demonstrated a more dramatic luxurious look with red tones. “Both looks incorporated classic bridal style and showcased what can be achieved in a city styled wedding in the heart of London,” says Nahama. The shoot took place at Brixton’s Lambeth Town Hall, which was decorated using asymmetric floral domes and small bud vases with simple red stems for the second look. The circular hall, with its marble floors, high ceilings and ornate features were captured perfectly and created the ideal luxurious backdrop. P OWE R LOCAL INSPIRATION 49
