France is one of the chicest and musical countries in the world, so what better way to bring these two elements together than a wedding?" says Sommy Echezona from M.Fiore Events. “We wanted to focus on the elegance of a spring colour palette and bring the musical elements to the forefront of this shoot. We chose a pastel colour palette with earthy soft tones to pair with the contemporary venue, the Ivory Tower. The gorgeous images from Emily Robinson Photography, along with the video by Maxine Furness Films, brought the concept to life amazingly. Emily and Maxine truly captured the idea, capturing the love and the warmth of the day along with the musical elements from Elinor Nicholson Harpist that left all the suppliers in awe during the ceremony and the first dance.”

The décor was supplied by Amoré Events Stylists. “They created elegant and stunning setups that elevated the images, with the clean placing of the waterfall candles for the ceremony and wedding breakfast, beautifully paired with Lune Valley Crockery Hire’s tablescape,” shares Sommy. “The perfect touch was the gift boxes provided ByAraa, which incorporated the theme effortlessly. My personal favourite was the wedding breakfast setting mixed with the candles and flowers by Honeys Hideaway. The pale blues, yellows and lavenders make an elegant statement feature for the sweetheart table. The couple is literally surrounded by floral heaven! The French touch of the hand-painted macarons, music notes by Wilde Bakery, and the couple’s favourite band table sign are all elements that capture the theme, bringing everything together.”

The bespoke bridalwear and veils, by Daniel Chu, really encompass the theme. “Each gown flowed effortlessly, and had such intricate details that set the chic and luxe tone for the shoot,” explains Sommy. “We had accessories for the bride, supplied by Cassie M Bridal, whose hair combs, with pearls and silver crystals were used in the delicate hairstyles, designed by Hair Creations By Colette. In addition, we had a bespoke hair bow, supplied by The Boho Bride, which tied the theme together perfectly. Furthermore, Natalie from Nala & Knot created a modern make-up look for our bride, using earthy tones. The editorial was further elevated by the romantic and intricate stationery by NorthernmadeCo. They combined the French elegance with subtle musical elements such as the invites having a music score in the background, the bouquet ribbon bow, which quotes the Elvis Presley song Can’t Help Falling in Love and the band name table sign. We wanted to inspire couples who are planning their weddings and showcase how you can personalise your big day through these small details. I felt so lucky to work with such amazing and talented suppliers who ran with this concept and brought it to life.”
