When we bought some of the best Birmingham based wedding suppliers together to create a little magic! This is what happened…
Our Inspiration
Rebecca Baddeley, Director of TDR Bridal Birmingham took the lead. She says “The concept around this photoshoot was Grand Victorian opulence meets modern day bridal fashion and beauty. Inspiration was taken from the absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind, Grand Ballroom at The Grand Hotel Birmingham. With its Louis XIV-Style, beautifully refurbished décor, it’s grandeur and its double-height windows not to mention the semi-private balcony and original art deco golden chandeliers, these beautiful elements all add to the sense of occasion, making this the spotlight of the photoshoot! There really isn’t anything else like it in the Midlands. The hotel is an architectural treasure trove of French Renaissance, Victorian and Art Deco features and so the wedding dresses we chose needed to reflect this whilst still maintaining a modern, cutting-edge style in bridal fashion. With its resplendent grand staircase and ornate Art Deco cornicing and hand finished in gold leaf there is style oozing from every corner of this magnificent building! And that’s why it made the perfect backdrop for our dresses and for this incredible shoot.”
The Gowns
When choosing the gowns for this shoot, we wanted to match the venue’s timeless glamour and what better choice than British designer Sassi Holford. With luxury fabrics, her designs blend understated elegance with effortless glamour. Featuring styles Katie, Phoebe, Sophia, Tara and Anabel. We also incorporated gowns from Ellis Bridals, who’s designs are both fashionable and classically beautiful, with amazing attention to detail. Featured styles: Effie (with Tilly Top) and Ada and from fashion forward label Elysée with style: Delancey. All gowns featured are available at TDR Bridal Birmingham, find your favourite styles and book your exclusive bridal experience today
