Photography by Jo Bradbury Photography

We love a floral editorial. We also deeply love a luxury St Giles House wedding shoot with incredible spring flowers, breathtaking backdrops, and some truly sensational outfits. That's reason enough in itself for us all to fawn over this masterful shoot. But if you're looking for a few more reasons, don't you worry - we've got ample. Recommended supplier Jo Bradbury Photography captured the opulent romance exquisitely in each and every photo - making us all want to step inside ourselves. The luxurious yet inviting backdrop of ever-so-beautiful Recommended venue St Giles House was the cherry on top of this mouthwatering cake. Finally, Recommended supplier Halfpenny London supplied one of those sensational bridal gowns.

Spring was at the forefront of my inspiration for this shoot. Beautiful spring florals in pinks, yellows, and creams adorned the ornate dining table, whilst a wild floral installation half covered one of the incredible salon doorways.

St Giles House

St Giles House was the epitome of perfection for this shoot. A prestigious wedding venue with iconic rooms, vintage wallpapers, and velvet sofas, what's not to love? The models took pleasure in the sunken garden and relished a delectable dining experience encompassed by fireplaces, a plethora of books, and captivating family portraits. St Giles boasts a fanciful history and maintains its charm whilst offering modern touches after its restoration. Every room in this venue is incredible. The symbiosis between the models, the dresses, the decor, and this venue is truly a sight for sore eyes.

Tulle moments

The numerous dresses used in this shoot not only add new depths and dimensions but also create a glorious harmony between St Giles House and the models. One of the similarities found between the dresses is the use of tulle. Tulle is a favoured fabric among designers. It creates a bridal dress with an incomparable, feathery appearance that imparts a dreamy, almost otherworldly quality to the ensemble. This feeling of ethereal goodness is certainly upheld in this shoot. Although different in style, each dress helps plentifully in bringing together the theme - and we're oh so glad they did.

Spring inspired florals

Weddings are the perfect opportunity to showcase the beautiful and delicate blooms of spring. From soft pastels to vibrant hues, there is no shortage of floral options. Peonies, roses, tulips, cherry blossoms... These are just a few of the popular springtime flowers that can be incorporated into wedding decor. Whether they are used in bouquets, centerpieces, or as accents throughout, spring florals add a touch of elegance to any wedding celebration. From the sweet scent of fresh blooms to the stunning visual display they create, springtime florals are a timeless choice.
