Using Sweet Pea, Cupcake, Minnie and Eden from The English Tea Party Collection the inspiration and theme was soon in full swing!
"I absolutely love working on photoshoots. It gives you the opportunity to work with a group of talented, like minded people whose creativity can really come to life. Era themed shoots are one of my favourites and there was no doubt in my mind that the Charlotte Balbier English Tea Party Collection would provide the most incredibe dresses for what I had in mind. I adore the fun and the detailing of the shorter dresses in the collection. Charlotte is renowed for her innovative and classic take on the 1950's swing dress, so working with the team, the delightful Cupcake and the playful and pretty Sweet Pea were chosen for inclusion. I have a great love of colour and texture. As a florist, you want your brides bouquet and flowers to really reflect their style, so being able to style lots of different looks is key. Two other dresses were chosen to reflect the elegant 1950's film star element of the era. Minnie was chosen for the tea party styling and my favourite one of them all, the beautiful Eden dress was chosen for the Audrey Hepburn look. This dress has the most stunning floral applique fabric which I absolutely adore. The simplest bouquet of seasonal anenomes was coupled with this design and the two together looked perfect."
These are just some of the gorgeous shots from the day:

Laura adds:
"Katy Lunsford (www.katylunsford.co.uk), the photographer captured the essence of each of these incredibly varied looks brilliantly. After getting the five start treatment on makeup and styling from Charlie (http://twitter.com/#!/cmurray_makeup) and Ailsa (http://twitter.com/#!/ailsa_mclaggan), our model Kim got to accessorise with flowers from me, Laura (www.lauracolemanflowers.co.uk) cute carters and shoe clips from Nicola (www.silver-sixpence-in-her-shoe.co.uk), and use beautiful cupcakes from Lorna's cupcakettes (www.sweettoothcupcakery.co.uk) to really submerse herself into the 1950's vibe. I can't thank Charlotte, her team and the lovely suppliers we worked with on the day enough for being involved. It was so much fun and the results are breathtaking."
