We’re delighted to showcase this wonderful collection of bridal hair accessories and jewellery by the fabulously talented Clare Lloyd. Inspired by butterflies in the most exquisitely beautiful way, Clare’s Aurelian Collection combines fine handcrafted details with thoughtfully crafted botanical curves. A chemical free collection of handmade leaves and flowers, stems and buds from natural metals, glass and crystal, this is the one-of-a-kind accessory you’re likely to fall head over heels in love with. I always think of Clare’s handcrafted bridal pieces as heirlooms – they’re so beautifully made and wonderfully detailed.

I could look at these photos for hours. I think that’s part of the magic of Clare Lloyd‘s creations: the intricacy of what Clare makes and the tiniest details make her bridal accessories so captivating. Today’s blog captures a stunning bridal collection by Clare alongside the most beautiful styling touches from some of our favourite wedding brands. In this post you’ll find inspiration for a modern luxe bridal look with breathtaking dresses, amazing stationery and glorious florals. It’s the hair accessories which have my heart. In Les Fleurs Clare Lloyd weaves the tiniest of glass beads with delicate white gold leaves and handcrafted flowers in pastel shades on layered twists of soft gold, creating these stunning heirloom pieces for her brides.

I jumped at the chance to feature this shoot because not only is it beautiful, it feels REAL. Let me explain. Styled photoshoots are a wonderful part of what wedding suppliers do. It’s a chance for creative minds to come together and bring their ideas to life, to inspire couples who are planning their weddings. But sometimes they’re so perfectly posed they feel unattainable, too beautiful. This one though, this made me smile. It’s vibrant and colourful, with simple styling touches and breathtaking florals. The dresses and jumpsuit (because we’ve 3 outfits to show you today!) are stunning – and model Dani wears them like the most joyful bride in the world. Her natural smile lights up these pages, and I’m absolutely thrilled to be sharing this gorgeously achievable wedding inspiration with you today. Huge thanks to lovely Maddy from Wedding Paint for sharing this with us. The images are by talented local wedding photographer Sophie TC Photography, who introduces the shoot and styling touches below, explaining how it all came about. There’s a full supplier list for you to check out just below.Claire's signature

This is wedding styling of dreams. A graceful, sleek wedding dress teamed with designer stationery in a monochrome palette and lush, romantic florals – just beautiful. Capturing it all is our talented and lovely friend and Essex wedding photographer Amanda Karen Photography.

The contrast between the softness and delicate colouring of the floral arrangements, the modern lines of the off the shoulder dress with its statement bow, and the striking stationery make this a really stunning wedding look.
