1950’s Dior Bridal Inspiration ~ A Photoshoot at Goldsborough Hall…

Morning everyone 🙂 Do you have your diaries at the ready? Pencil in 12 June won't you, for a wedding fair at the beautiful Goldsborough Hall, for The Wedding Affair will be hosting an event that day that is set to bring the best in the region to Brides to be.

My lovely friend and Photographer Cat Hepple will be exhibiting there on the 12th, and got together with The Wedding Affair to create some amazing imagery to inspire those soon to be newlyweds…

"Having visited the glorious Goldsborough Hall, I knew it was grand and gorgeous, with stunning grounds. I was looking for ideas when I stumbled across some of the fashion imagery created for Dior in the 1950s. It was always shot in the most grand of surroundings. Amazing staircases, panelled walls, and in more modern times amongst flowers. Goldsborough had all of these and more, so it seemed the perfect combination."

Oh how I love these photographs. J'Adore Dior….

The Wedding Affair said…

"We have been known to organise the odd photoshoot, allowing us to get some stunning photographs of the venues we work with, and giving us an extra opportunity to showcase some of the fabulous suppliers that attend our fairs.

A photograph from the previous 'Rule Britannia' photoshoot has just been used in the latest edition of Vogue Magazine.

If you haven't already seen them, we produce gorgeous A5 colour invitations which are sent to brides by post before each fair, and whilst Lisa was preparing one for The Wedding Affair at Goldsborough Hall we hit upon organising another photoshoot. We had wanted to work with Cat Hepple, an amazing photographer, for some time and as she will be exhibiting at this event it seemed ideal that she be behind the camera at the shoot. In fact, it was her idea to use the 1950's and Dior as inspiration and we were bowled over with this. As a result, we yet again brought together a fabulous team of people to bring this idea to life and we are sure you will not be disappointed with the results…"

Last but not least we must of course thank Clare and Mark Oglesby and their team at Goldsborough Hall for allowing us to descend en masse and fill this stunning venue with gorgeous models, sparkly dresses, beautiful flowers and lots of laughter!

In all honesty, there is little else we can say about these photographs as each picture speaks a thousand words. They are stunning, beautiful, breathtaking and just wow and we know that we will want to use them again and again.

We're onto planning the next photoshoot at another fabulous venue now but the question on all our lips is 'How on earth are we going to make it as good as this one?'……
