As confident, contemporary men they had a clear idea of what they wanted to wear on their wedding day and moreover they wanted something that would \u2018wow\u2019 their beloved bride on the day.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When asking these sartorially \u2018savvy\u2019 guys what their main source of inspiration was, there was a clear answer throughout, and that was to emulate the style of Daniel Craig&#8217;s Bond character. The combination of sober, sharp tailoring with a flash of edgy detail (accompanies by a strikingly beautiful woman of course!) has incredible appeal to them.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Theme: A License to Thrill<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We wanted the theme to take its overall inspiration from Bond, playing on his 007 status and creating \u2018a license to thrill\u2019. We imagined that if Bond married it would be on his own terms, eschewing convention and opting for an intimate stylish elopement pulled together by trusted discreet contacts. The \u2018rule book\u2019 for conventional weddings would be well and truly thrown out!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0031-017.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103687 size-full\" title=\"Gold Wedding Cutlery\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0031-017.jpg\" alt=\"Gold Wedding Cutlery\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103687 size-full\" title=\"Gold Wedding Cutlery\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0031-017.jpg\" alt=\"Gold Wedding Cutlery\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_103691\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-103691\" style=\"width: 870px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0054-034.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-103691 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Luxury Wedding Stationery\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0054-034.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Wedding Stationery\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-103691\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-103691 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Luxury Wedding Stationery\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0054-034.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Wedding Stationery\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> James Bond Luxury Wedding Stationery<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We worked closely with Kevin of Scott-Wood Photography to plan the look and the shots that we wanted to achieve. He was the ideal choice for the photography as he has a great talent and always seems to effortlessly capture the right \u2018look\u2019 whether it\u2019s a real wedding or editorial work. He&#8217;s not afraid to be different and stand out from the crowd, and, as we wanted the shoot to recreate the moody atmospheric lighting seen in the contemporary Bond films, it was paramount to have someone who wasn&#8217;t afraid to do something different from the hugely popular \u2018loved up and light\u2019 style of shoot and who knew how to use light really well.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">Here&#8217;s how it all came together:<\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Groom:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Says Alexandra \u2018I&#8217;ve always been fascinated by how men choose a suit and to get a feel for the designs I would create for the shoot, I naturally researched the styling for the Bond films, and used the dark, austere, well fitted suits that Bond is known for as the framework to design something classic with a modern twist\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Three key designs were created that any stylish man would love to wear for their special day:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0165-106.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103685 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0165-106.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103685 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0165-106.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0153-097.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103688 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Wedding Styling\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0153-097.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond Wedding Styling\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103688 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Wedding Styling\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0153-097.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond Wedding Styling\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0067-044.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103689 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0067-044.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103689 size-full\" title=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0067-044.jpg\" alt=\"James Bond Wedding Inspiration\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0144-090.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103697 size-full\" title=\"Luxury Groom Suits\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0144-090.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Groom Suits\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103697 size-full\" title=\"Luxury Groom Suits\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0144-090.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Groom Suits\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">City meets Country Suit:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A subtle grey plaid with a hint of chocolate, and burgundy detailing for the lining, flash vents and cuffs with a very typically &#8216;Sean Connery&#8217; style peak lapel, combined sharp tailoring with a frisson of glamour and the look was completed with a double breasted waistcoat. Perfect for the groom and \u2018first look\u2019 shots and perfect for a city winter wedding.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Classic Dinner Suit:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">A favourite for Bond, and brought into the modern age by Tom Ford when Daniel Craig roared onto the scene, it&#8217;s what men want to look like in a \u2018DJ\u2019. It&#8217;s without a doubt the popular suit of choice year round for glamorous afternoon and evening \u2018Black Tie\u2019 celebrations. A fitted design brings a contemporary feel to the look and was perfect for the shoot.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Smoking Jacket:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Oh my, this is really fabulous \u2018old school glamour\u2019 and just brought to life the insouciance and confidence that&#8217;s associated with Bond. It&#8217;s one for those who are confident in themselves and their style to be their own person without being brash. It was perfect for the lounge shots that we created.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Bride:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We wanted our bride to complement the masculinity of Bond and portray the independence and beauty that any contemporary Bond woman would have. We also wanted the \u2018first look\u2019 to have a role reversal with her looking slightly in awe of her husband to be. A perfect twist on the tradition of the groom being in awe of his bride as he sees her for the first time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Beautiful designs from Emma Hunt gave the right amount of femininity brought together with a beautiful veil from award winning bridal accessories designer, <strong>Kelly Spence,<\/strong> stunning jewellery by <strong>Humphrey Butler<\/strong>, Pall Mall and flowers from Liz Inigo-Jones at <strong>Blue Sky Flowers<\/strong> who used lush, deep colours and jewel tones. Deep red, velvety Roses and Amaryllis, near black Calla Lilies and pops of bright red Anemones pulled together with deep green foliage and dripping red Amaranthus offset the luxurious smoking jacket and contributed to the overall glamorous feel of the shoot.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0286-180.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103692 size-full\" title=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0286-180.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103692 size-full\" title=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0286-180.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0258-157.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103686 size-full\" title=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0258-157.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103686 size-full\" title=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0258-157.jpg\" alt=\"Emma Hunt Wedding Gown\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0187-115.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103693 size-full\" title=\"Bride and Groom James Bond Style\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0187-115.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and Groom James Bond Style\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103693 size-full\" title=\"Bride and Groom James Bond Style\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0187-115.jpg\" alt=\"Bride and Groom James Bond Style\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0149-094.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103701 size-full\" title=\"Luxury Wedding Flowers\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0149-094.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Wedding Flowers\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-103701 size-full\" title=\"Luxury Wedding Flowers\" src=\"http:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/301115-AW0149-094.jpg\" alt=\"Luxury Wedding Flowers\" width=\"870\" height=\"578\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Venue:<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We chose private members club, <strong>Home House<\/strong> in London for its opulent but intimate feel.
