'For a prospective Bride, there's nothing like looking at pictures of someone else's wedding for inspiration. It's not just what she wore or whether the groom looked silly in his morning suit, it's all the little details which are so interesting to the modern bride and groom'.

Carole Hamilton~ Editor, Bride & Groom Magazine.

Gowns featured were designed and made by Elizabeth Smith Gowns, along also with tiaras, headpieces and some of the flowers shown.

Featured Weddings.

Claire & Josh, August 2000

Venue~ Hasley Manor, Isle of Wight.

Claire's arrival at Hasley Manor, in a stretched limo....

Claire, who is also one of our team here at Elizabeth Smith Bridal, chose to wear a couture gown from E.S.Bridal made from her own design. As her request was for simplicity and elegance, the finished gown emphasized the cut , fit and quality of the materials used rather than lots of decoration. She requested that a running theme throughout the wedding should be daisy's and the colour silver. We correspondingly chose ivory gerberas, september flower and marguerites as focus flowers and teamed them with palm leaves, eucalyptus, wax flower and silver yucca leaves for a modern ,clean cut look . A hand made silver tiara provided the finishing touch .This ivory and silver theme was carried through to the Bridesmaids gowns, flowers and tiaras and the Marriage room and reception venue.

Shown here below, is the arrangement made for the marriage room which was then moved to the reception venue and used as the top table piece. It features all of the flowers requested by the Bride plus a few pieces added by ourselves. .

Note the unusual fresh daisy chain along the front of the top table.

Karen and Vicky wearing modern and elegant Bridesmaids gowns for E.S.Bridal by Peaches Bridal gowns, in mist coloured silk dupion. Sliver tiara's and new style bouquets of ivory gerberas and palm leaves complete the look.

A traditional photo of all of the principal men. The simplicity of the evening suits and bow ties are complemented by elegant, single, ivory gerbera button holes. Note behind the wedding group, the over -arch door arrangement which brings together the Brides chosen theme and colours. This type of reception decor also provides a stunning back drop for any photos taken outside.

A chance to show that the back of a bridal gown is as important as the front. The Brides choice of a crepe silk material was ideal for this type of structured but flowing gown. This photo also shows the floor length silk tulle veil and the Bride's modern bouquet.

Different variety's of fresh flowers's in ivory and white were scattered onto the guest tables to provide a fresh, clean and light look to the reception.

Congratulations! Claire and Josh as man and wife. Behind them can just be seen the over-arch arrangement that greeted the guests as they went in, and the Bride and Groom as they came out. Designed in the same choice of flowers as before but with the addition of sea holly to emphasise the silver theme.
