Norwood Park - Peach Fuzz Dreams Editorial
I have to say that this has to be one of my favourite creative sessions to date, with its romantic, soft peachy tones and dreamy satin bows. Peach Fuzz was named the wedding Pantone colour of the year so we decided to bring that peach love to life!
Firstly what an absolute pleasure it was to work with so many incredibly talented suppliers and vendors to create such magic at Norwood Park. Everyone so worked so hard and it was a joy to see it all come together.
Bridal Boudoir,
Not only am I a Wedding Photographer but I also do Boudoir Photography, so naturally I wanted to add an element of this to our Norwood Park session.
We started the day in Norwood Park’s Viscount Room where Autumn wore a stunning silk, babydoll wrap gown created and designed by incredible wedding dress designer Kate Beaumont. Made from super-luxe heavyweight silk-satin it utilises the studio off-cuts – the silk pieces left over from cutting out Kate’s wedding dress designs – meaning sustainability is at the heart of these beautiful styles. View Kates full range of wedding & honeymmon pyjamas and lingerie here.
Let's also pause to admire Autumn's hair and makeup. The elegant and understated makeup was skillfully done by Jade at the Glamour Lounge while the soft Hollywood waves for our first look were expertly crafted by the incredible Alison Jenner.
Autumn wears the Mila earrings which are made using three mini white freshwater baroque pearls which dangle from a fine box chain threader style earring. Lightweight in the ear and easy to wear, these tiny pearl threader earrings are a great everyday option as well as ideal for events and occasions. Then to finish the look, Autumn wears the Eliana pearl bar necklace and it consists of a row of five tiny pearls on fine trace chain.
And last but no by no means least we completed our bridal look with Rebecca Anne designs who made us this incredible bespoke embroidered veil. Get in touch with Rebecca to discuss your very own bespoke veil here.
Whilst Autumn was slipping into our first wedding dress of the session, we took a Tom in to the Duke Suite for some groom shots. Tom wears a classic black dinner jacket suit kindly supplied to us by Geres Men’s Wear.
First look.
For our first dress we introduce Seth by Madi Lane, a modern masterpiece supplied to us by Bellamme Bridal. With exposed boning in the bodice, cat eye neckline and moulded cups infuse elegance. The sleek high leg split, complemented by a dramatic detachable overskirt, offers dual looks. To enhance the charm there are detachable half pearl and tulle sleeves. Crafted from light crepe with a charmeuse lining, Combining both luxury and style Seth is simply stunning.
We finished off the look with dainty long baroque pearl stud earrings by Kiri & Belle. Emilie earrings are beautifully elegant, have incredible movement, and really catch the eye all whilst being dainty and feminine. Wonderfully light and perfectly suited to weddings, events or any occasion where an extra element of sophistication is required paired with a beautifully delicate small single pearl choker necklace. Simple, feminine and elegant. Mini Cara gives a contemporary twist on the classic single pearl necklace.
Short but sweet.
Time to switch things up and swap into our shorter dress Chill Pill by Watters, provided again by Bellamme Bridal. Autumn wore 3 head pieces throughout this part of the shoot. A stunning personalised, embroidered bow veil supplied by Rebecca Ann Designs. A satin bow by Millie Saisons and finally a stunning gold embellished headband by Saint Beth. We then switch up the jewellery to the Clemmie Set by Kiri & Belle. Your Confetti was also kind enough to supply us with confetti!! We all know that guests don’t rock up with confetti like they used to, so head to Your Confetti to add a little confetti to your wedding day! With a choice of hearts and circles this biodegradable confetti is available in over 30 colours available so that you can create a custom confetti mix unique to you! They even offer custom confetti cannons that can be filled with the same custom mix.
The details.
Now, time to appreciate how absolutely dreamy the entire set up is! I personally drool over details…..the set up, the stationery and oh the flowers! We had a mood board of how we wanted the session to look like but oh my, I don’t think we could have imagined it would have turned out so beautifully. So let’s meet these wonderful suppliers.
Firstly Lucinda from the Flower Fairy.This is not the first time I have worked with Lucinda and she certainly knows how to bring a dream to life! Her attention to detail is exquisite and her creative eye most definitely sets her apart from other florists.
We then had Aimee providing the stationery on the table as well as used on the flat lay. Having beautiful stationery really helps to bring a wedding theme together. As a photographer, when a couple have a cohesive and beautifully designed stationery it’s safe to say we get very excited! Check out more of Aimee’s work here.
The styling bought the whole look together by TwoEightOne who provided the tables and covered them with dreamy fabrics along with the dining set up, candles and frames creating a soft, romantic and dreamy look.
Nicole made all of the cakes and the macarons. Not only did they look fabulous but they tasted even better as she let us all dive in once we had finished the session. For all of your cake needs you can find Nicole here.
Ruffles.
Now this dress is an absolute peach dream! Kindly supplied by Eternally Yours this definitely packed a punch and was the perfect dress to finish off our Peach Fuzz dreams. Kiri & Belle again supplying us with even more gorgeous pearls!
And finally to conclude, I hold immense gratitude to Autumn and Tom, our model couple, for their exceptional performance. Their teamwork and individual contributions were impressive, and I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with them again in the future.
Styled sessions are such a great way for a collective of creative to showcase their talents and I think we smashed this one out the park! I can’t thank everyone enough for all of their time and hardwork to make this dream a reality. Norwood Park truly is a spectacular venue, with each room having its own flare and style, from the orangery to the gallery, each room is just fabulous! The abundance of natural light makes this venue a photographers dream! I am even more excited to shoot the lovely couples who have booked me as their wedding photographer for this venue this year and next!
