I recently had the pleasure of collaborating with Sarah Pearson, owner and stylist of Elevate Workshops, to design bespoke bridal styles for her series of countryside wedding editorial shoots. These workshops, designed to inspire wedding photographers and couples alike, took place across three stunning venues: Rise Hall in Hull, Howsham Hall in North Yorkshire, and Garthmyl Hall in Wales.
Crafting Bespoke Bridal Styles for Iconic Venues
Each venue provided the perfect backdrop for an English countryside wedding, and my role as a bridal designer was to create captivating luxurious bridal styles that reflected the elegance and charm of these picturesque locations. Working closely with Sarah, I ensured each design complemented the unique ambiance of the venue while maintaining a timeless bridal aesthetic.
