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.

For our latest free online magazine, we partnered with White Lily Couture to bring you The Style Sessions – three unique bridal styles.

The aim was to help you find your style and break down each element from decor and styling to fashion, beauty and flowers. The location was the very versatile The Warehouse, where we were able to create a sleek modern, a dreamy romantic and a relaxed boho look. 

This film by Emilly Kaate Videography highlights all the stunning details from this shoot with three stunning bridal styles. Which one is for you? Let us know in our private group just for brides here.

Dreamy lovers, relaxed glam in a seaside setting = the perfect way to see out 2018 and welcome a new season of wedding inspiration. 

This simple, chic shoot is here to provide you with some quintessentially 2018 bridal style that will surely continue through 2019. A statement bridal gown with minimal styling is a bridal style trend we hope will stick around for awhile yet.

Nala Gown

This dress is one for the lovers and dreamers. ‘Nala’ from Chosen by One Day Bridal has mirrored embellished gold tulle dreamily draping into a full skirt from the fitted bodice with plunging neckline and low back. We love this gown for its statement of confidence, and it’s also available in a curve design. 

Makeup + Hair

Natalie Hunter Makeup Artist applied a soft bronze look with a dewy glow-from-within complexion to complement the dress and carefree beachside location. 

Beau was not only the male model on this shoot, but the hair stylist – Beau Hair Jobs. Beau clearly knows how to tame his love’s tresses into perfectly imperfect relaxed waves.

Wild & Free / A Darling Affair from Goodness Gracious on Vimeo.

In the lead up to the relaunch of boutique wedding fair, A Darling Affair 2018, the Sunshine Coast contingent got together to create the quintessential coastal bridal style shoot. It was rustic and raw with  a natural colour palette to complement the beach setting at Point Arkwright.

This beach wedding film is less than two minutes long, and trust me you’d be doing yourself an extreme disservice if you didn’t take the time to give it a watch. It redefines a wedding film – it’s paced to hit all the right points and accompanied by a song that is such an unusual choice, but it’s one I’m now positively obsessed with.

Are you ready for some dreamy bridal style? We thought so!

The Gowns

In this shoot, model Chantal wears ‘Enchanted’ and ‘Gabrielle’ from Euphorie exclusive to WHITE by Gossip Gowns. Each of the dresses is giving off some seriously romantic vibes with so many gorgeous details. Figure flattering and full with fluffy, soft tulle and backless detail – these are some jaw-dropping designs.

The Flowers

Two distinctly different bouquets, both featuring some of this season’s hottest floral trends – orchids and gold-sprayed leaves. The first colour palette embraces soft, muted warm tones of peach, blush pink and latte, with hints of white, mauve and yellow. The second is a cool-toned surprise with pastel blue orchids and whimsical trailing foliage and silk ribbons. The bouquet itself is abundantly constructed with white roses and a touch of Blue Thistle and Dusty Miller.

The Hair and Makeup

Chantal’s hair was curled in an effortless style – equal parts undone and perfect. Her makeup was kept soft and pretty in nude tones for a naturally beautiful bridal style.

The post Dreamy + Detailed | Bridal Style appeared first on The Bride's Tree.

It all started with a simple idea by one creative wedding talent, Kendra Groves of Wild Child Cakes & Catering. 

“Modern Harvest was inspired by my favourite time of the year, Autumn.. Here in Australia the leaves aren’t as golden and the nights not as cool, but we find the beauty in what we are given and that’s what inspired me.” Kendra said. 

Kendra chose one of our favourite places to shoot this Modern Harvest wedding inspiration, the very beautiful untouched Emu Mountain in Perigean. “Long grass caught in the golden hour and dirt tracks leading to nowhere, to me this place encompasses the perfect elopement. A place to get lost and fall in love.” She said.

Autumn Flowers

Flowers by the ever incredible Bloodwood Botanica, somehow managing to encompass quintessential Autumnal beauty in a muted blush pallete.

Stationery + Cake 

Kendra explained her creative process involved taking inspiration from Studio B Couture’s stationery that ultimately spoke to the Autumnal deep toned theme, “When I saw the stationery with its beautiful texture, which played a subtle balance between light and dark, I wanted to encompass this within my cake. Where the cake showed all that was beautiful in a Winters night sky, the florals surrounding showed that Autumn is all about balance, about life and death, night and day, and about the beauty of light and the dark within the season.”

Photography

Incandescent photography was captured by Mallory Sparkles, whose approach to photography involves such care and attention to detail with light analysis above and beyond. 

Beauty + Fashion

Sunshine Brides – Valentina Pintus brought in the modern edge with a striking blood red lip, and smokey eye with some serious lashes. Fox and the Dandelion designed an intricately braided style that would highlight the stunning crown from Crowns + Wreaths with variations with loose curls cascading down the low back dress design.

Candles, velvet, crystal and goblets of black spawn a gothic wedding of intense elegance. Bridal style has never seen such dark romance, and it achingly beautiful. 

An Autumn or Winter wedding would wear this dramatic styling by Made to Match Events with divine perfection. As the weather cools here in Australia, cool tones in varying textures of linen, velvet, silver and marble meet the warmth of the fire from candles and deep tones of burgundy.

Masses of pillar candles amongst black candlesticks and black goblets bring a rich darkness to grey linen in a high end gothic tablescape. 

Olive green velvet and deep mahogany genuine vintage chairs from Moments in Vintage flush out the earthy elements to the colour palette.

Deep sultry eyes and a contoured blackberry lip with perfectly defined brows brings a sultry elegance to the bride’s delicate features, and her striking upstyle finishes the gothic bridal look. The oversized bouquet featuring deep red roses is tied with a black ribbon. 

Like melted candle wax, the pillar cake is iced in black and decorated with fresh fruit and flowers.
