Hopeless Romantics

A traditional and romantic love story between a young elegant couple deeply in love, and both hopeless romantics, was the inspiration behind the styled shoot that took place in the beautiful English country house Nonsuch Mansion, Cheam, Surrey. A simply stunning Georgian gem with elegant high ceilings, stained windows, detailed features and fireplaces.

The shoot was effortlessly styled by Katie Stocks from Bride & Beau. Combining colours of beautiful blushes, classic creams and graceful golds creating a luxe and elegant combination. Eva Tarnok of Eva Tarnok Photography wanted to create a beautiful shoot within a grand and historic building with castle-like features meaning Nonsuch Mansion was the perfect option. .

Throughout the morning gorgeous model Dina Rims wore a stunning and romantic dress called Annabella. A jaw-dropping gown with elegant lace and hand-beaded embellishments, a real timeless and feminine classic. During the afternoon, she changed into an effortlessly elegant lace two-piece dress Aurelia with a structured satin silk skirt. The look was finished with a classic veil from Victoria Millensime. The beautifully beaded and classic shoes were provided by Emmy London completing the bridal look.

The breath-taking and beautiful flowers were supplied by the very talented Liz Indigo Jones from Blue Sky Flowers. Katie told us “We were in love with all the floral styling especially the breath-taking archway with vibrant blush tones and lush wild foliage. The bouquet was a beautiful hand tied bouquet with Ohara Roses, Blush Ranunculus, Hydrangea, Stocks, Sweet Avalanche, Anemones, Jasmise and Lilac and Parrot Tulips and was fastened with a soft pale blush ribbon from Pompom Blossom”.

“The fireplace was also one of our favourite features with wild foliage matched with pretty candle sticks and a large urn with high centrepiece flowers. The lanterns from Nonsuch Mansion and Couvert created an even more beautiful setting for the archway and fireplace”.

“We created a unique food setting with gold tones and candlelight complimented with rich fruit colours and a true English heritage and love for literature”.

The dining table was a luxe, classic and creative design incorporating white linen matched with blush and gold tones to add additional texture and intertwined between gold candle sticks and tea lights to give a natural and elegant candlelight. The beautiful tableware gold charger plates and gold cutlery was supplied by Couvert including fine decorative glassware with gold details matched with a soft blush table runner from Pompom Blossom.

The stationery suite added even more romance to the shoot, and was created by Claire Gould from By Moon and Tide, adding a personal and thoughtful touch by creating a beautifully scripted poem with the idea that the groom would give this to his bride-to-be so read on the morning of their wedding.
