Vintage bridal inspiration… Victoria Mary Vintage bridal accessories – Part 2

And so finally for part 2 of one of my favourite shoots. To find out the full background see part 1 if you haven't already!

The idea behind the second part of this shoot was a sort of vintage boudoir style (Vicky was actually thinking Miss Haversham, minus the creepiness and cobwebs!). Mandy's styling was incredible as ever - the vintage dressing table set in the beautiful gardens was wonderful.

Vicky has designed this collection - the Silk and Lace Collection - with beautiful vintage french lace and faded, frayed raw silk roses in pale creams and golds. Bird cage veils and touches of tulle, along with scatterings of crystals and pearls finish the collection.

I'm an absolute sucker for birdcage veil... : )

We took full advantage of the beautiful gardens at Abbeywood Estate and the perfect golden sunlight as we chased the last few rays around the grounds. A brilliant day, collaborating with some of the best in the industry. What could be better? Well maybe the next shoot we're currently planning... watch this space!
