Today’s romantic modern wedding brings us a pretty pink vibe with a pink 3D floral wedding dress, pink bridesmaids, and pretty pink styling throughout. Set at Badgemore Park it has a modern, whimsical feel that is sure to give you lots of inspiration for your own wedding. We catch up with photographer shoot coordinators Kat Antos-Lewis of Kat Antos-Lewis Photography and Ester Hunter of Sugarlily Cakery and the rest of the team who tell us all about how this romantic modern wedding and ‘pink romance’ dream was created…

Photography – Kat Antos-Lewis Photography

“The photography illustrates a refreshing chic scheme, inspiration for any modern bride, harnessing a colour palette of luscious soft powder pinks, luxurious gold accents, all set against powerful black back drops to create a pleasing whilst strong contrast. The soft pinks bring a playful approach, harnessing feminine undertones, whilst the flashes of gold bring it up to a modern contemporary style. The result was an utterly delightful wedding theme that offers a subtle, yet impactful impression, allowing for a wealth of accessories to tie the entire vision together seamlessly.”

“Our setting for the shoot was the glorious Badgemore Park Golf Club just outside the small market town of Henley-On-Thames in Oxfordshire. The lush green fairways and putting greens played the perfect host to our ‘Pink Romance’ themed shoot.”

Jewellery – HBW The Handmade Wedding Boutique

The bride’s beautiful accessories fits perfectly with the romantic modern wedding theme not only because of the collection name, “Cherry”, but also the gorgeous rose quartz gemstones that complement the dress beautifully. Designed to mirror cherry blossoms in bloom they bring glamour and luxury to any bride on her special day. The choice of jewellery for this shoot had to be spot on and we are so pleased to have found such amazing pieces that matched the dress beautifully.”

As Lynn, the jewellery designer, puts it “I wanted something, luxurious enough to make the bride feel special, durable enough so it could be passed as an heirloom to the next generation, but easy enough to wear after the wedding too’. Every single tiny rose quartz is carefully wired by hand following a detailed sketch.”

Bridal – Cristina Adami

“The ‘Eden’ Wedding dress featured is part of La Vie En Rose collection, a dreamy free-spirited bridal range inspired by the Antonia Fraser “Marie Antoinette” biography. The Eden dress is specifically designed thinking of the Jardins de Versailles. Made of a beautiful hand embroidered 3D flowers fabric, it echoes the spring blossoms. Finished with a sand washed silk lining for a second skin feel, and layered with nude tulle, this dress offers a perfect combination of style and comfort. Youthful yet elegant it’s perfect for a bohemian bride with added couture touches.”

Veil – Sash + Veil

“The dress was matched with a gorgeous ‘Cella’ draped pink wedding veil by sash and veil. Made from ultra-soft Italian tulle and cascading into a waterfall cut at the sides, sprinkled with soft blush flowers and petals. This veil is custom-dyed to produce the beautiful shade of pink called the “champagne blush”. The veil is embellished with delicate everlasting Hydrangea flowers and will last for years. They are soft to the touch and add a dreamy romantic feel to the bridal look. This veil looks and feels very similar to pure silk tulle and drapes beautifully when you move. This pink veil, with its waterfall cut, is the perfect choice if you would like
something you can pull forward across your arms and shoulders but without having to wear a cover-up or a bolero. Perfect for an outdoor wedding.”

Shoes – Elizabeth & Rose

“The Beautiful shoes were by Elizabeth Rose London. They create hand-painted shoes that can be personalised to suit any wedding theme. “For this beautiful pastel pink shoot we created a dusky pink and pale lilac floral design on our most popular court
shoes. All of our custom pieces are designed and created by hand and can therefore be paired with any aspect of your wedding day, whether it be your bouquet, stationery or even your cake!”

Suit – Anthony Blay Menswear

“We decided that a black tuxedo would be the best suit to pair up with the gorgeous pink wedding dress. With the semiformal jacket and matching black trousers we added a pink bow tie and pink cummerbund with a white shirt. A sharp cut for a sleek look. The perfect suit for a trim figure. A modern take on a classic and elegant look. This suit will make any groom feel like a 007 agent at any black-tie event.”

Bridesmaid Dresses – ASOS

“The Bridesmaids dresses where a classic soft blush lightweight, textured chiffon floaty design from ASOS. The pleated bodice maxi dress with flutter sleeve makes for a fluttering and comfortable elegant look that matched the brides dress perfectly and complimented the overall look and feel of the shoot.”

Hair – Wedding Bridal Makeup

“For the hair styling Mako went with ‘the messy low updo’ for the bride, which complemented the romantic feel of the pink wedding dress perfectly. Mako adds “I wanted to be careful not make this a casual look, so I didn’t want to have too much of the bride’s hair down. The Bride had natural, beautiful long hair that was perfect for creating this style without the need to “cheat” with any additional accessories or extensions. This is a beautiful and very versatile style that would work well in many other wedding styles also. As the bridesmaids also both had long hair, we decided to keep their look different to the bride and make it more casual by keeping it down but adding a bit of movement with some soft waves and a sweet side plait.”

“The groom’s “clean but not too sleek” look, was achieved with a blow dry and a spray up and back to create more volume.” All making for a gorgeous wedding party!”

Make up – Adele Colby Makeup

“I focused on using soft nude hues for the girl’s eyes. I kept their skin radiant and dewy, enhancing cheekbones with natural contour, blush and highlight. As a professional bridal makeup artist, it is so important to enhance my clients naturally beautiful feature, you want to look and feel the best version of yourself on your wedding day. The bride has the most
gorgeous eyes, so I really made sure these were the stand out feature for the overall look, finishing it off with a stunning pinky/red lipstick to compliment the entire bridal look perfectly.”

“The bridesmaid’s makeup complimented the bride’s perfectly, keeping it along the same natural and soft vibes and tailoring their looks to suit their individual styles and personalities. I always explain to my beautiful brides that they need a little more makeup than they would usually be comfortable with wearing for the longevity and for their photographs, but not too much that it feels unnatural when looking in the mirror, finding the balance is key!”

Florals – Bluebells of Henley

“For the flowers we used a colour pallet of pink and gold and decided to use a blush pink as it created a vintage delicate look. ‘Sweet Avalanche’ is the variety of Rose we chose as it is very reliable and always fully opens. This variety is available all year round. To create the gold, we sprayed ‘Soft Ruscus’, which is a hardy small leafed foliage, with Oasis Antique Gold paint. Wax flower and Eutoma in soft pink shades were used to create different texture and form. We used Eucalyptus to go through the designs as the grey complimented the scheme and kept it light rather than using a green foliage”

Confetti – Eco Bride

“We were thrilled to be working with such amazing suppliers who offered the best quality products. The confetti were no exception. If you are an Eco Bride and Groom and you’re on the lookout for environmentally friendly wedding confetti, then you should check these guys out! From postal packaging to Sellotape and stickers, everything Eco Bride sells is completely biodegradable. Their confetti are beautifully fragrant and vibrant in colour, so it was a perfect addition to our romantic outdoor shoot. The confetti we used were a mix of natural dried, biodegradable petals and dried leaves. It included Rose, Delphinium, Cornflower, Peony and
much more. To maximise the effect we also used biodegradable confetti cannons which are eco friendly.”

Cake – Sugarlily Cakery

“The theme continued with the cake and confectionery with pink, white and gold tones for the dessert table. The wedding cake stood beautifully tall with 3 tall 6” tiers. Bottom tier was hand painted in pink edible paint with an outline of a cherry tree, middle tier was kept a simple white to hold the handmade hoop covered with sugar cherry blossom a tied silk pink bow, topped with a pink base relief inspired tier, each flower molded and glued individually to achieve this look. The second cake was a covered in a rich white chocolate ganache, wrapped in edible lace and embellished with gold sugar flowers. Other dessert treats included
delicious hand-made vanilla iced biscuits stamped with Mr & Mrs, white chocolate cake popsicles, fondant topped cupcakes, rose topped mini cupcakes, chocolate truffles, Cake pops and chocolate covered cookies. A truly indulgent treat table.”

Wine – Fairmile Vineyard

“The beautiful Sparkling Rose wine used on the shoot was from The Fairmile Vineyard. Award winners within their first month of release. Located in Henley on Thames, this family-owned business is committed to promoting the Chiltern’s quality of life, tourism, and local community. This delightful pink English sparkling wine bursts with the zing and freshness of summer fruits and can be enjoyed on its own or with canapes. Perfect for a wedding celebration. Beautifully presented in its clear bottles to proudly show off its delicate hue.”

Stationery – Papeterie Eugenie

“The romantic pink tones were carried through to the wedding stationary. The pink water colour blooms in the invites offer a glimpse of what the wedding theme is to be. With its romantic modern calligraphy pared up with pink ribbon and gold button wax seal it added the vintage feel that was needed for this shoot. The table number, menus and seating plan matched the invites also.”

Styling and Props – Plan Style Hire

“When you love what you do working on a styled shoot with an amazing group of fellow wedding industry suppliers never feels like work but an opportunity to create something incredible. This Pink romantic modern wedding shoot had a touch of whimsical element to it with the bride and groom enjoying a ride in a balloon and floral garland dressed golf buggy. The wedding ceremony was performed under an organic balloon arch which also added a fun touch to the shoot.”

“The sweetheart table was delicately dressed in a blush pink table runner and glass candlesticks, glass tealight holders, pink candles and tealights, gold rimmed glassware, white and gold detailed plates, vintage cutlery, white linen napkins and pink favours. A series
of cylinder tall water filled glass vases with floating candles were placed on the floor next to the table to add more details and It all worked beautifully together to complete the final dreamy look.”

“We hope, our play on a classic theme, brought up to date, with a playful approach, provides the perfect setting to a wonderfully British summer time celebration.”
