We wanted to tell a love story and also use interesting details, this shoot is inspiration for couples who want something slightly less traditional and perhaps a smaller intimate gathering with a big impact.

We had the pleasure of using exquisite pastel dresses from Millia London and paired these with darker more gothic details.

The flowers are a mix of dried and fresh, so perfect for a winter wedding and kept the feel romantic but with a twist of modern gothic. The romantic bouquet is filled with roses and dried lunaria (honesty).

The ceremony space was filled with hanging dried flowers and a dried flower and candle aisle were created to give an intimate and romantic atmosphere.

The cakes had beautiful handcrafted sugar flowers and were made in unusual colours to compliment the gothic theme, there was also a mix of cupcakes and biscuits for guests to enjoy. The favours were sweet shortbread biscuits.

The groom wore a burgundy suit which complemented the venue and this was finished by a buttonhole again mixing dried and fresh flowers.

The stationery tied the pastel from the dresses to the darker gothic theme by using lilac with black and silver.
