Classic Princess line with Jacket
A Winter Wedding at Brook Church, Freshwater Bay, I.o.W. 9th December 2000
Venue ~ Sandpipers Hotel, Freshwater, Isle of Wight.
Above: Hermione looking relaxed at the beginning of her wedding day. In this photo you will see the wonderful warm burgundy colour chosen by the Bride for her 'Spencer' type jacket and empire line bodice. This colour theme was carried through to the Bridesmaid's gown and all of the flowers.
Above: The Brides hair is gathered up on the crown of her head in natural looking curls, and a french pleat was put in at the back. This ensured that her hair would stay neat and tidy all day, whatever the weather! Fresh ivory and burgundy roses were then pinned into the curls to coordinate the finished look. The Bridal make up was kept natural, but we used warm colours for the lips and eyes.
Left: A proud moment, arriving at the church. You will see here the hand tied bouquet in ivory lilies, roses and freesia, with burgundy roses and natural foliage chosen to compliment this classic Irish and French silk princess line gown.
Above: A close-up shot of the lovely Bridesmaid showing her hair, make up and silk gown.

You will see left, the inset piece of burgundy silk on the train at the back of the Bride's gown, and the slim, flattering shape of the Bridesmaids empire line, dupion silk gown.
