With inspiration from Japanese philosophy, fine art, and ballet, the concept of this shoot was to capture the rituals of bridal preparation during the morning of a wedding \u2013 the bride\u2019s \u2018first dance\u2019.<\/p>\n
Just over a year ago, photographer Siobhan H Photography<\/a> and I connected by chance through Instagram, over a shared love of the concept of wabi sabi,<\/em>\u00a0the appreciation and discovery of the beauty of imperfection. We arranged to meet over coffee in London, and sparks of creativity flew as I described my vision for my new business, The Stars Inside<\/a> \u2013 a styling and wedding planning brand all about playfulness, storytelling, and otherworldy experiences. As morning turned to afternoon, our notebooks brimming with scribbles, the seed of this shoot was born, and we\u2019re so excited to share it with you today.<\/p>\n For us, this editorial was an exploration of grace,\u00a0movement,\u00a0and authenticity, with much in common with trying to find the words to describe a ballerina\u2019s first flight. We were intrigued to play with the contrast between quiet minimalism and meaningful detail,\u00a0and the complementary ways in which those concepts can manifest in d\u00e9cor. We wanted the style to be modern and romantic, with a touch of whimsy, and this was so vividly brought to life by the wonderful team of wedding industry professionals working with us on the day.<\/p>\n All together, the narrative is one of both trepidation and fearlessness, poise and imperfection \u2013 girl and woman, preparing for this brand new chapter of her life.<\/p>\n We really hope you enjoy the gallery below, and make sure you take a moment to watch the wonderful video by Yulia at Wyld Weddings!<\/p>\n
