Inspiration

Well hello there outrageously decadent floral arrangements in gorgeous shades of pink... ;) The Corinthia Hotel in London makes the most elegant back drop to this afternoon's inspiration shoot. It literally screams for luxe table settings, ornate cakes and sophisticated sartorial choices, so naturally photographer Roberta Facchini and stylist Encharm'd had to oblige! They opted for florals by Amie Bone, who has made the place explode with Spring colour and the fabulous Elizabeth Cake's Emporium has created a feast fit for Marie Antoinette. One of the cakes even has a crown!!! I'll hand you over to the team to tell you all about the inspiration and how much fun they had putting the shoot together. And there's a fab behind the scenes video from Story Of Your Day too.
Patricia The Bride: When you think of London you instantly think about the amazing culture the English have. Monuments, tea-time and luxury. Therefore we headed towards Westminster. On a cloudy day, typical British weather it was indeed! But whilst arriving at the stunning Corinthia, spring came smiling through the impressive windows which lightened up the spacious ballroom to it’s full glory. I could see myself being asked to dance by a Lord, but really I could see myself everywhere as the room is covered in mirrors ;) Therefore working with touches of pink, gold and a hint of lilac makes it a royal picture perfect. Cakes made with such a fineness as only Elizabeth from Elizabeth’s Cake Emporium can. Don’t stop at the cakes, the cupcakes, the cookies and macarons would take your high-tea wedding to another level. Placed on glamour table runner by Mwai. Having such an impressive and spacious room requires a whole bunch of flowers and Amie Bone floral design always gives you a tingling feeling. The colors, the volume, the love they share while creating shows you what beauty was given to us by nature. As if this isn’t stunning enough to have a styling creating by the vision of Encharm’d, as styling starts at the very beginning of your stationery and in a luxury set-up as the Corinthia, who better than Eagle Eyed Bride? The gold foil stationery including the hummingbird name tags make your dream vision a reality. You can’t have a wedding without a lovely couple, and with a bridal couple comes a tailored suit by Alexandra Woods Bespoke Tailoring and for the wedding gown a customized design by Unielle Couture Amsterdam. In order to create a stunning bride you need hair and make-up by Team Glam with complimentary accessories by Kelly Spence. You can’t say I do without a ring! These custom made ring by Dimitri Nijs are real show stoppers. This luxury London wedding day was captured so romantically by fine art wedding photographer Roberta Facchini Photography. Roberta’s photography style is very soft, romantic and editorial, filled with natural light, perfect for the style of the Corinthia Hotel. Not only the ballroom is stunning but while feeling like Royalty, we entered the Royal Penthouse which breath luxury with a terrace that give you an exclusive panoramic view over the London Skyline. The Big Ben, the London Eye a view has never been so impressive. The wedding portrait session in this luxury suite was just a dream. It’s a never ending dream being at the Corinthia and thanks to the backstage video of The Story of Your Day, we will remember it for a long time.
