Old theatres are places where rich colors, history, architecture and romance combine, making them an unconventional but perfect choice for a venue. And today’s styled wedding shoot, in the magnificent theatre of Quimper in Brittany, France, captures all of the above, as well as the sweetest love story! Thibault and the team shared these words…

I have always loved vintage jewellery and am more than a little envious of those lucky enough to have beautiful heirloom pieces passed down through generations of their family. It’s not just the style I adore, it is the history that draws me to vintage jewellery – the stories behind them, the love locked in them,…

After all the dark and moody inspiration of the last week today’s editorial is the light and airy fix we need – and I am head head over heels in love with every detail of it. Strolling around a romantic garden, our bride with a modern take on Edwardian romance wears beautiful lace wedding dresses from one of…

Anne of Green Gables is one of those stories that captures the heart, and imagination, of many – me included. And so I am only really surprised that it has taken almost 5 years for me to receive my first editorial inspired by it. But not even in my wildest dreams did I ever think…

These beautiful images from Rachel Solomon (whose photography you may well remember from this breathtaking bridal shoot) draw us into a romantic vision of olde world elegance – with floral designs that evoke the Dutch masters, an inviting tablescape brimming with texture, the most impeccably styled bride & groom, and the Sunstone Winery for a backdrop; it…
