A STARRY NIGHT INSPIRED MICRO WEDDING, WEST SUSSEX // VICTORIA & WILL
CELESTIAL THEMED MICRO WEDDING IN WEST SUSSEX
In late September I had the pleasure of capturing a beautiful micro wedding curated by Scarlett from LDN Luxe Events. Think celestial cocktails, a candlelit private dining dome on the grounds of Hermongers Barn complimented by the ultimate trio of romantic dresses. When Scarlett asked if I’d like to capture Will & Victoria’s day, I naturally leapt at the chance! I was blown away by what the incredible team of suppliers had brought together. It was magical and so very much needed right now. With large gatherings unable to happen it’s so important we highlight just how beautiful and special micro weddings can be. 
Below is a short description of the styling written by Scarlett. We are so lucky to have our work featured on Love My Dress so if you’d like to see more, please head over to the awesome LMD blog to check it out. “With autumn upon us and given only small celebrations are allowed to go ahead based on the current COVID restrictions, we decided to style an alternative option for the couples who still want to make their wedding day something special even though they are no longer able to host their larger groups of guests. We therefore decided to style, what in our view is one of the most desirable wedding alternatives around, an opportunity to host an intimate meal with six of your closest friends and family. Our individual dome was provided by Dream Domes Hire, decorated with monochrome taper candles in brass holders, gold foiled night sky menus and gold rimmed glassware all complimented by a beautiful mixed dried and fresh flower cloud suspended above the round dining table by Katie at Kidge flowers. To maintain the wedding feel we felt muted tones would work beautifully with creams, dove greys, off white tones. Stunning fabrics from @laikstyle used to drape through chairs, cascading down the cake podium, and across the main dining table added a real romantic touch. Hermongers Barn located in the Sussex countryside, a converted barn with a new industrial extension and large grounds provided the perfect location for our shoot with their mix of high ceilings and sanded beams along with the added contrast between the classic barn conversion and the modern touches in the new space they’ve recently created. A marbled two tier cake with gold sugar detailing by Meera Makes was the stand out piece in the drawing room. It sat alongside our bar from Raw Spirit where we served bespoke celestial themed cocktails, ‘Moondust Margaritas’ and ‘Big Bang Bourbon’. Vintage furniture and decoration from Toast Hq’s collection included gorgeous sofas sets, working perfectly alongside our isle carpet runner entrance to the dome and several different types of brass lanterns. Elegant and timeless dresses by designers Jesus Piero and Alon Livne provided by Morgan Davies bridal complemented perfectly with shoes from Freya Rose. Diamond encrusted star pins and hair accessories from Miss Clemmie providing the right amount of detail for our bride.”Suppliers:Styling and Coordination - @ldnluxeeventsPhotographer - Lilly Wilson - @lillysellsphotographyVideographer - Alex, New Page Productions - @newpageproductionsModel/Bride - Anna Walsh - @anna_walshModel/Groom -Sam Nesti - @samnestiBridal gown - Morgan Davies - @morgan_davies_bridalHair and Makeup - Lauren Smith - @laurensmithartistAccessories - Miss Clemmie - @miss_clemmie_accessoriesShoes - @freyaroselondonSuits - Suit Direct - @suitdirectukCake - Meera Makes - @meeramakes_weddingcakesFood - Tashas Table - @tashas.tableDome - Dream Domes Hire - @dreamdomeshireBar - Raw Spirit juices - @raw_spirit_londonMixologist/Model - Hayley Ainsley - @hayleyainsleyFurniture - Toast HQ - @toasthqFlorals - Kidge Flowers - @kidgeflowersStationery - Paige and Co - @paigencoTableware - Place settings - @placesettings_Venue - Hermongers Barn - @hermongersbarnFabrics - Laik Style - @laikstyleShoot Stylist - @suehowkinsShoot Coordinator - @ameaxoxo
