Alternative Wedding Style Ideas Part 1. Could you be a Modern Marie Antoinette or Very Victoriana?

Getting married but want to break the mold with your own style?

Then I hope Part 1 (and Part 2) of this wedding inspiration shoot held at the spectacular Council House & Priory Park in Malvern, Worcestershire, captured by the amazing not to mention award winning +Gemma Williams of Gemma Williams Photography gives you some ideas.

So you love the grandeur of a full skirt but don't want any hint of a 'meringue dress'. How about becoming a Modern Marie Antoinette for your big day?

You are a Bride with body art & bold hair; adorn yourself with a strong corset shape, oodles of tulle in feminine colours and you have the perfect contrast. Think 18th Century masked ball with contemporary touches.

The extremely talented Selinna Juke from Alissia Couture Boutique Gloucestershire, provided this stunning creation.

Have you thought about having a striking yet structured hair-style so that you make a bridal statement, without having to go for a formal stiff hair do. I loved using my trusty crimpers to create the texture in this style on our delightful model.

Maybe you fancy the idea of wearing an eye mask instead of having a veil. Selinna made this magical mask to compliment the dress.

Wouldn't be seen dead without a splash of colour on your nails? Just choose a colour that tones in with your bouquet and you will be onto a winner. This dreamy posy was created by +Heather Gorringe from Great British Florist, Herefordshire.

Your wedding day shoes don’t have to be heels or smart shoes. They can be your favourite old faithfuls; Comfy enough to wear all wedding day long and can provide a talking point & great photo opportunity.

Your Groom wants a romantic look without feeling old fashioned; so don’t wear a suit, it’s your wedding.

Separate menswear items can look coordinated without being a set. Round collared shirt, tie & braces worn with skinny fitting trousers & boots will feel familiar and comfortable, but will most certainly still look attractive. Think Prince Charming with a bit of an edge.

Second Hand Rose in Worcester provided the Groom’s outfit from their wide range of vintage clothing.

Groom hair-styling option; loose & relaxed hair and perhaps some soft stubble to contrast a crisp outfit style.

You like your image to be a bit different on a daily basis, so why shouldn't your wedding style stand out too. Have fun with you fashion as well as your photo poses.

A very big thank you to all of the fabulous wedding suppliers who contributed to the shoot, all of whom I can highly recommend. It goes without saying thanks to the models too. Jx
