A perfect English summer’s day.
Described by no less than Tatler as the most glamorous place in Hampshire to say ‘I do, Pylewell Park was the perfect setting for our luxury-styled fashion bridal shoot.
Fast becoming the cast-iron first choice of the more discerning and fashion-conscious couples and event planners looking for that ideal and eccentrically English big old country house, Pylewell offers up an array of charmingly unique spaces both inside and out that we fully intended to utilise as the ideal backdrop for our pictures.
Completely in sync with the enchanting Pylewell ethos of not taking themselves too seriously, while naturally doing so with the utmost panache, we spent the day showcasing the beautiful creations of top couturier Sian Hughes Cooke, founder of Shimmering Ivory whose classic elegance flawlessly complemented this unique venue.
Curated impeccably by Cynthia of exclusive wedding planners ‘And Then Became Us’ and all shot by luxury wedding photographer Stuart Wood with hair, makeup and styling by Chloe of Chloe Hiskett Hair and Makeup.
Cynthia points out that “I wanted this to be a true fashion statement and show these creations within a breathtaking location, rather than just another venue shoot. It needed to scream elegance, and opulence with a twist of avant-garde, and we certainly achieved that”.
The stunning results could be delightfully described as pure ‘English Rose’, with of course a whimsical smile thrown in.
