Mary [...]]]> A pretty wedding at Trereife House …

A lovely bride, Mary and her photographer Linda Ellis were kind enough to send me so many beautiful imges from Mary’s wedding, I was spoilt for choice and there was not enough room on my real brides page so I just had to share a few with you here.

Mary was married in September and the ceremony took place at Trereife House which is one of my favourie places. Just outside Penzance,  it  has the most amazing atmosphere,  a Manor house and a family home that is loved,  lived in and welcoming  with beautifully painted interiors that perfectly reflect the delicate West Cornwall light.

Mary chose a 50s inspired silk dress with a pleated skirt, belt and pockets. I also made her a lace bolero using her choice of a beautiful corded lace, with a neckline designed to complement a pretty vintage necklace. Some matching earrings and the same lace were incorporated into an exquisite headpiece by Sarah Drew.  A very personal ensemble that suited Mary and her lovely style perfectly and which she artfully accessorised with the most gorgeous shoes from irregular choice.

Lots of gorgeous images …..

Lily was Mary’s bridesmaid  and expert wedding organiser. I made Lily’s bridesmaid outfit based on a wedding dress she has previously modelled for me, customised and made personal for her using a beautiful pale blue shot silk and beacause Lily loves spots there was lots of spotty tulle in her pettticoats.
