I wanted to create a styled wedding that was magical, with thousands of lights, an abundance of greenery and florals. East Riddlesden Hall was the perfect venue with its barn full of exposed beans and bricks.

East Riddleden Hall

The inspiration was set in the beautifully rustic Wedding Barn of East Riddlesden Hall. The wooden beams and walls were adorned with fairy lights creating a dramatic light-infused setting for our team to work with. The amazing gardens were in full bloom, and the pond provided the perfect spot for couples' portraits and the outdoor ceremony.

Fashion And Beauty

We selected the stunning Alessandra wedding gown with cap sleeves and delicate lace wedding dress by Maggie Sottero for the ceremony. Loren’s hair was curled into loose tousled waves with a natural makeup look. This was changed into a gathered softly shaped updo and a stronger lip for the evening reception at East Riddlesden Hall.

Cake designer Margaret from Rosehill Cake Studio crafted the most stunning 3-tiered wedding cake. Not only did it look good but it also tasted amazing and was so light. She handmade all the decorations with exquisite sugar paste, spun sugar and rice paperwork. Every detail complimented our moss green and dusty pink colour palette. The beautiful handfasting ceremony conducted by Celebrant Paula further added to the authenticity of our styled shoot at East Riddlesden Hall.
