Lately brides have been finding brand new ways to express themselves through their weddings. When it comes to bridal fashion, it’s all about infusing your own personal style these days. 

Wanting to style a modern, artistic bridal fashion shoot, Jan from Branch and Blossom and Max from Aesthete Film and Photography put their heads – and talents – together to create this stunning shoot. 

Jan explained, “Max and I are both creatives who like to push at the boundaries and we are both continually striving to create work that is authentic and diverse. Plus, let’s face it, we really just wanted an excuse to pat baby deer!“

That brings us to the location itself. Borumba Deer Park is in the Mary Valley, where you can find pet-friendly camping and some fun activities including deer-spotting. This one has just made its way onto my 2021 weekend bucket list!

The unique location was ideal artistically for creating an extreme contrast of bridal white against the dense forestry backdrop with the vivid pop of colour in the full-bodied rose bouquet. 

“We see more and more of our couples wanting to tell their story and celebrate their love in a more inspired and unique way. Wedding photography has become almost editorial in nature. This often includes a break away from more traditional locations to more adventurous and offbeat settings.” Jan said.

In honour of the new (I’d like to say “- and improved”, but 2020 got us like…) era of the 20’s, we put together a photo shoot for our latest magazine that harps back to the 1920’s. Knowing lots of shoots with a Gatsby style would start cropping up, we wanted to go in another direction, incorporating a more classic, traditional feel. 

Couples who were wed in the manor houses like the one Downton Abbey was styled off were all about luxe details, yet understated sophistication. Dreamy, lush floral arrangements were ever present, while bridal fashion was about chic lines and little embellishment for sincere glamour of the times. 

When Tradition + Modern are a Match Made in Heaven

Every detail down to the very English traditional four-tiered off-white cake, crystal glassware, and silver candelabras scream “vintage”, yet the lace table runner and dusty pink linen napkins, along with the festoon and fairy lighting bring in the modern element.

The classy stationery suite hinted at the calligraphy style that would have been sent to all of polite society in times gone by, complete with wax seals. 

Our stellar team of wedding pros came together to create something truly authentic, yet with a modern twist that resulted in some seriously unique Sunshine Coast wedding inspiration.

Old world glamour was the order of the day for this bridal fashion shoot which leans heavily on the 1920’s for inspiration. From the gorgeous gowns and accessories, down to the amazing hair and the makeup, the shoot collaborators took great care in creating some amazing vintage looks with authenticity.
