Stephanie tiara by Tiararama
Well finally Vikki and I have decided on our official photoshoot pictures from May. I know it has taken an age but between us this has been a very busy wedding season (and we can't complain about that now can we?). There is still a bit of touching up to be done on them but these are the images.
And of course I am pleased to say that Sarah, my old customer, Vikki's sister in law and our photographer for the day has turned her hobby into something a little more serious. She hasn't given up the day job (yet!) but this shoot gave her the push to set up a website to profile her work and since this shoot she has done lots of edgy and exciting shoots. Her new website is Assassynation and is well worth a look.
But here for your delectation and delight are the images that will most certainly be used on my website and will be popping up all over the place in advertising. I would love to hear what you think about them and I'll be more than happy to pass on any comments you may have for Vikki and her fab gowns at Liliia.
The picture above features the lovely Sammy in a beautiful mauve/lilac bridesmaid's gown with mulberry sash and Liliia's distinctive floral adornments walking through a tree lined dell. This coupled with our Stephanie tiara made from looped and twisted sections of wire interspersed with quartz crystal is the ideal fit. Sweet and feminine, classic and elegant but with a fantastic contemporary twist.

This image again features Sammy in the mauve/lilac bridesmaid's gown but this time she is waiting mischievously by a door. This time we have coupled the gown with our Double Maria headband with its wonderful textures in Swarovski crystal and pearl. This gives the ensemble a cheeky feel whilst still retaining its elegance and poise.
Un Fiore asymmetric tiara, Rosa corsage cuff and triple icicle drop choker by Tiararama
Of all the precarious poses Sarah asked our models to do on this shoot, this was one of the most precarious! This shot features Samita in Vikki's gorgeous white bridal gown with floral and butterfly embellishments. The accessories we chose to team with this gown were our Un Fiore asymmetric tiara which features one of Vikki's fabulous flowers and the lovely delicate but funky Rosa cuff with its wire and crystal corsage. Then to finish the sleek and funky triple icicle drop choker. I just love the textures in the shot - the beautiful dry stone Cotswold stone with the grass peaking through behind the gate and the lush leaves of the tree. And the gown and accessories are all about texture too.

This shot really shows Un Fiore and the Icicle Drop Choker off beautifully. I love the texture of the grass in this Sepia version of the shot as it really helps to make Samita and the gown and accessories stand out.

The colours and textures in the shot are also fab. The ruins at Minster Lovell and the early evening sun added a great backdrop and light to these shots and really helped to make the heavily encrusted Liberty tiara sparkle without being too blinding. And the embellished detail of the gown is also shown off very nicely.
Racquel tiara by Tiararama
As we all know the same gown worn by two different people can make the same gown look completely different. And this is exactly what happened when Rachel modelled the same gown as Samita. So to show this we used our Racquel tiara to add a different dimension to the ensemble and also I knew it would look fantastic against Rachel's fantastic red hair. I love the simplicity of this shot and love the way the ironwork on the door looks almost vine like.
Jadis crown by Tiararama
Until very recently Jadis was my very favourite design. Originally it was designed as a concept piece and there were very few who were brave enough to even try it on. So as soon as I knew we were going for a photoshoot I was desparate to get it on Sammy's head? Why you may ask! Well look at how fab her hair was in this shot. It was the hair that I envisaged when I designed Jadis and here it was being worn in an amazing setting on a fantastic model wearing a beautiful floaty, sleek gown. I love the way Vikki paints and dyes her fabrics to make a simple gown very special. I just love everything about this shot.

This is a lovely shot of Clair wearing Sarah's (the old customer, Vikki's sister in law and our photographer)gown and tiara. I loved the fact that we were able to use this fantastic gown and tiara again and this shot shows the tiara off beautifully.
And just for you here is the tiara being worn by Sarah at her wedding
I love these images for so many reasons and I look forward to getting the edited versions and being able to get them on the website. And we are in the process of organising an autumn shoot so expect some more images soon. And fear not I will have those images sorted out alot quicker than with these images as I will be taking them with me to The National Wedding Show at Olympia next February. But in the meantime I'd love to know what you think of these images. So until next time....
