Vintage Feather Fan Wedding Ideas

Vin­tage bridal inspi­ra­tion shoot: feath­ers and pearls

An inspi­ra­tional wed­ding idea: vin­tage feathers

This pho­to­shoot was inspired by the beau­ti­ful vin­tage ostrich feather fan with mother of pearl sticks, dis­cov­ered in ‘All About Eve At Home’ shop, a delight­ful place full of vin­tage pieces and jew­ellery, as well as a enchant­ing selec­tion of items for the home, which owner Melanie sources mainly in France’s antique fairs and markets.

The idea to use a fan instead of a ‘bou­quet’ came from a bride who pur­chased one of Melanie’s ostrich feather fans for her own wedding.

It imme­di­ately struck me that the ideal dress to accom­pany this awe­some acces­sory would be one of tal­ented designer Joanne Flem­ming along with a pro­fu­sion of vin­tage pearl jew­ellery, a head­piece spe­cially cre­ated for the shoot by Lorna Green Tiaras and mother of pearl embell­ished shoes by Freya Rose.

Vin­tage Hol­ly­wood glam­our wed­ding ideas

Anne Veck ‘s immense tal­ent for dra­matic hair­styles trans­formed Tiffany into a Hol­ly­wood star and the 1930’s style Jaguar Royal made a per­fect match with her glam­ourous look.

Helle­bore flow­ers arranged by Wild Lily Flow­ers in pearl vases and del­i­cate glass jar add a sub­tle sophis­ti­ca­tion to the scene set in the library at Poundon House, and adorn Ros­alind Miller’s refined cupcakes.

The allur­ing Dia­mant cham­pagne bot­tle and the antique crys­tal glasses give an exclu­sive touch to the story, ready for the cou­ple to cel­e­brate in pure VIP style, before they leave for a roman­tic des­ti­na­tion as sug­gested by Char­lie Loves Lucy’s ‘travel’ theme sta­tionery.
