From Lindye Galloway… With the royal wedding on the horizon, it seemed only appropriate to give our spin on an “English Garden Wedding.” Inspired by big hats, tea, bold colors and English interior design, this shoot was dripping in royalty. We wanted to infuse the best of English design, in its vintage and timeless nature, but give it a refined and modern touch.  We also wanted to create custom pieces inspired by the country that would stand as a unique statement in the shoot.

Without a doubt, we think of tea when we think of England, right?!  Pinky up!  Out of this came the custom chandelier that hung over the head table. I hand made this piece out of 700 tea bags to create a chandelier fitting for the English photo shoot. The plate wall was drawn about from English interior design.  I wanted to design a unique piece that would be the backdrop to the couple’s nuptials, so I hand made this wall out of textured fabric and 26 different plates.

Of course, working with incredible vendors made this possible. Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club set the stage in their gorgeous garden, while Found Vintage Rentals created the scenes in which our English wedding would take place.  Bringing in multiple colors, shapes, textures, and styles the featured pieces reflect that of English furniture, with a refined touch.

The floral arrangements were a true piece of art, created by Art with Nature.  Working with an array of flowers, colors, and urns, these arrangements were perfectly suited for an English garden wedding. The darling stationery pieces, created by Paper Cut Industries, carried the royal garden theme throughout, from the escort cards to place cards and menus.  And who wouldn’t want to dive into the impeccable cake?!  With a very unique design, this cake offered a stylish and tasty addition to our shoot, created by A Wish and a Whisk.

The bride was outfitted in a knee-length, delicately laced, Anthropologie dress, while the bridesmaids wore fabulous dresses by Bella Bridesmaid.  Each of these gorgeous models were adorned with incredible hats by Twigs and Honey and Kokin, which truly topped off their English look.  And the models were extra stunning by the talented hands of Design Visage with hair and make-up.

And, of course the absolutely incredible Jessica Claire captured each and every detail.  Each photo she took is a piece of art and perfectly highlights this English Garden photo shoot.

    What a beautiful shoot! I have been looking for a dress EXACTLY like the bride's for our vintage-inspired engagement shoot coming up..and of course I have had no luck finding anything! I am guessing the dress is from a few seasons ago at Anthropologie because I do not see it anywhere on the website. Does anyone happen to know what the brand label is on the dress??
