I’ve been so excited to share this stunning editorial with you! It’s vintage with a sexy twist, oozing with romance with old school red roses – and utterly stunning. Proof that vintage weddings can be glamorous and unique – brought together by a talented group of wedding suppliers in Eastbourne, who took over a lovingly restored independent cinema to make magic for a day. I hope you love this as much as I do! (As always, I’ll be sharing loads more on @englishweddingblog over on insta – including some favourite shots which aren’t on here!

An elopement fashioned on old vintage love, fluffy velvet roses and a timeless era of style. This vintage Cinema styled elopement is what romantic dreams are made of. Bringing back a bit of a vintage/glam vibe into the styling a beautiful 1921 cinema was used as the venue to promote history and add depth to inspire the iconic decade.

An array of deep red fluffy roses was added to create a luxury floristry touch. Our real life couple dressed to match our theme, with our bride draped in a stunning backless white wedding gown matched with long mesh gloves to give an elegant and opulent style. The groom matched with stylish Hollywood era suit. Paired with an old Hollywood glam style of makeup to tie in our theme.

Our stationery was designed in an old cinema style to bring in our table setting and draw attention to details used focusing on what our theme was dedicated to. This was all composed to create a luxurious elopement with room for any kind of budget. Simple yet effective.

This BEAUTY of a shoot landed in my inbox this morning. I’d been planning to write about my calligraphy for weddings today, but all the lush greenery and the connection between Rae and  Grey just blew me away. I couldn’t wait to share this! If houseplants are your thing, and the thought of bringing nature inside for your big day sounds amazing, you will LOVE this styled photoshoot!

The amazing wedding suppliers who brought this photoshoot to life include lovely Mercedes from 4YaParty Weddings & Events and Eastbourne’s fabulous Thorn & Found Photography.

This stunning botanical disco wedding with a touch of rustic décor compels a new inspiration for modern weddings.

This beautifully designed concept by 4yaparty also creating décor and props for this styled shoot was a perfect match to Kingswood Arts, a not-for-profit arts centre and cultural hub venue dedicated to supporting its local community through creativity. Based in a stunning 32 room mansion this space was perfect to help create an ultimate rustic disco themed wedding.

Our models, real life couple Rae and Grey portrayed a romantic story within the old halls of this building, beautifully showcasing the designs from each wedding supplier.

Our bride was fashioned with two timeless dresses provided by Couturiosity, paired with inspiring jewellery from Bish Bosh Becca. Hair and makeup from Made up by Ruby was a match made in heaven to bring together our bridal look. Bridal accessories provided by Glorious by Heidi include a stunning crown piece to elevate a classic look and bridal sunglasses for a touch of untraditional styling.

Our beautiful maid of honour Elle Andrews modelled a gorgeous jewel crusted emerald piece by L’Amour Curves Bridal which tied in exquisitely with the theme and décor of this wedding.

Speaking of décor, the floristry by Harleys Flowers finished our couple’s look with a blooming and abundant bouquet and buttonhole piece.

Table stationery tied together the look with unique designs by Twenty Stationery.

The cake by Simply Irresistible Cakes London was a perfect addition for our ceremony, making a wonderful centre piece for the cake table. Matching with earth colours and rustic design it pulled the décor into one.

The light and airy photography style was key to the story that Nick from Thorn and Found Photography wanted to showcase. Finding a photographer to match a certain aesthetic is always important when thinking about how you want to remember your special day.
