As Sweet as Candy — VERY Pink Wedding Inspiration

Sometimes the girl takes over. When faced with a sea of pink in, say, Toys R Us, I run in the other direction. But today, seeing this pinkness... it's like candyfloss, marshmallows and cherry blossom - everything the girl inside me adores. This inspiration shoot is beautifully indulgent, unashamedly pink - and full of ideas for a deliciously feminine wedding style.

Pink is still a favorite color for brides - and an indulgently pink wedding theme has to say something about the groom too: he's either head over heels in love and just wants his bride to have the day she's always dreamed of or he's in touch with his feminine side! So girls, boys - join me to enjoy lots and lots and lots of pinkness on English Wedding blog today.

Bridal inspiration shoot - as sweet as candy

Photography by Cristina Rossi

Cristina told me, "I organ­ised this lovely bridal styled shoot that took place at Tea Party UK in Finch­ley. It is a lovely lit­tle room owned by Saman­tha Check, she hosts hen tea par­ties with beau­ti­ful china in very pink surroundings.

My inspi­ra­tion started with the Tea Party room. When I met Sam, I instantly fell in love with her pink room and I was impressed by how she cre­ated her very suc­cess­ful busi­ness. I had a vision of doing a styled bridal shoot — to my joy she accepted straight away and let me loose with my team to take over her venue! Being a pink room and lov­ing sweets and cakes the theme had to be Sweet Candy!

I had the plea­sure to work with an amaz­ing team of tal­ented peo­ple to cre­ate this shoot. From make up and hair styl­ist, wed­ding sta­tioner, cake artist, and florist and of course a gor­geous model.

I hope you like it!”

Kate Ruth Romey pro­vided lus­cious pink wed­ding sta­tionery to set the scene…
These wed­ding invi­ta­tions are really pretty — with roses and ranun­cu­lus (I’m guess­ing!) out­lined in pink, con­tem­po­rary fonts and a sheer layer for infor­ma­tion sheets, they’re sweet, sim­ple and ever so feminine.

Flow­ers are by Sally Zachar­iou of Sabella Flo­ral Design - freesias and roses, a mix of pretty colours to com­ple­ment the pink wed­ding style with­out being plain old pink — they work beau­ti­fully. See the inspi­ra­tion board on face­book which I’ll blog tomor­row too.

Pink wed­ding cake and cup­cakes by Iwona Zero of MK Cakes — and pink meringues from Bak­ery County Hall. These really add to the styling of the shoot, don’t they? I love pretty cake tables — a gor­geous alter­na­tive to the tiered wed­ding cake on its own in a cor­ner of the room…

Cas­cad­ing pink flow­ers on a white cake, tiny cup­cakes with white icing and lit­tle pink rib­bons, and those lovely pink meringues fin­ish the look! The fil­i­gree cases on some of the cup­cakes are divine — I could have done with some of these myself on the day I killed cup­cakes (com­ing soon!)



The beau­ti­ful model for the day is Vic­to­ria Peachey - here hap­pily nib­bling on a heart-shaped marsh­mal­low. Isn’t she gor­geous?
