City Chic Modern Wedding With Bespoke Fabric Printed Menus
It doesn’t come more chic than this beautiful city modern wedding inspiration. Set at The Castlefield Rooms in Manchester, it oozes simplicity, style and elegance, not to mention its super cool vibe. We were thrilled to be part of it and created bespoke printed fabric menus and a personalised groom handkerchief. We here from shoot coordinator and photographer Boho Chic Weddings who tells us all about how this city chic wedding was created…
“Think of the tres chic fashion of the rockstar in the 70s… think Halston, David Bowie in suits, Diana Ross and Bianca partying at Studio 54, with low-cut jumpsuits, simple long dresses, shaggy jackets, and some film star bling, and all the fun they had. Myself and my magnificent creative partner, Heidi, who makes modern day hair accessories ( visit gloriousbyheidi.com ) had the creative urge to make that part of the 70s come alive as a 2019 wedding using Solange Knowles and her fabulous wedding day style as our muse.”
“With the trend for bridal jumpsuits going from strength to strength for the modern, style-conscious bride, photographer Catherine Kerr and I were keen to co-ordinate a city centre photoshoot, that placed the jumpsuit and the kind of sassy bride that chooses to wear one, centre stage.”
“Both being 70’s babes ourselves, we wanted to celebrate that fun 70’s New York disco vibe that we adored in our early teens, creating inspirational images that show how that style can be worked with all of the sleek and none of the kitsch – think Bianca Jagger rather than Farrah Fawcett!”
“With that in mind we embraced the inclusion of elements such a mirror balls, and Monstera leaves, but by working with wedding planner and shoot stylist Emily K Weddings to keep the rest of the styling parred back and focused on the simplicity of a palette of white, green and gold, we’re proud to have steered our final look firmly towards 70’s sleek chic.”
“Our stand out favourite elements from the shoot were the smoked glass cocktail glasses, the oh-so-70’s profiterole tower, the inspired inclusion of artichokes in the bouquet and our smoking hot bride and groom.”
