Tis' the season to sparkle, and real couple Dale and Josh are most definitely killing it in silk, leather and a mens sequin suit. They also add highlighter wedding makeup to their look, billowing capes from Recommended supplier, Ashley Wild Bridal, and beaming smiles. But, we'd be smiling too if this was our city elopement. Hello, disco balls, a geometric cake and acrylic stationery. I mean, what's not to love?!
A design-driven city elopement inspired by Camille Walala bold geometric shapes, bringing life into hard city textures, filling it with energetic colours and complementing the strong harsh architecture.

As the inspiration was vibrant colours and shapes encapsulating grey industrial streets. We wanted to recreate the same inside, using very cold neutral colours for the basis of the crockery and cutlery but then completing with colour. For instance, the florals were bright pops and interesting shapes stemming from a concrete base. The plates were grey but brought to life with striped lilac napkins.
We wanted to keep the day very personal to the couple and as they are stylists themselves, they choose their own outfits, again setting with the textural theme they opted for silk, leather. Adding a mens sequin suit to their evening look and complementing makeup to highlight the sparkle. Grooming was kept minimal for the day with fresh dewy skin and a little glitter on the eyes for the evening.
Real couple Dale and Josh of ten years, first met in Birmingham, then both moved to a performing Arts School in Windsor and Cambridge where they had a long distanced relationship for three years. They now work as professional dancers living in London. It was lovely to use a real couple with whom this style of wedding reflects their love of design and art.
