Ethereal wedding dress and inspiration at Mapledurham House
Our vision for this shoot was to feature a real-life same-sex couple for a soft, ethereal and romantic feel.
LOCATION
Mapledurham House and Estate in Reading is a beautiful 12th Century house surrounded by picturesque countryside. Within the extensive grounds is a working watermill located beside the Thames in the heart of a quaint English village. Perfect for showcasing our brides in their whimsical and ethereal wedding dresses.
Inspiration
Our inspiration for the shoot was the naturally stunning backdrop of the Mapledurham Estate and the ethereal paintings of “The Lady of Shalott” by John William Waterhouse and John Everett Millais’ pre-raphelite “Ophelia”. We wanted the styling to be soft, romantic and muted with delicate peaches, creams and dark greens. Plus, lots of light, flowing fabrics and chiffon.
Ethereal Wedding Dress
To emphasise the whimsical look we focused on one floating, ethereal wedding dress with delicate sleeves paired with heavy boots, a loose updo with a long flowing veil and a hair vine. As well as a billowing, hooped princess wedding dress, paired with a bold off-centre flower crown and a loose fishtail plait. Together the brides looked stunning.

Makeup looks included a high fashion look with bold peaches and striking eyebrows combined with delicate pale lips. As well as a pale base with smoky eyes and a pale lip. It was a great contrast and complimented both brides.
