Something a little different for a {rather late – sorry!} Tuesday afternoon.
The images in this photoshoot are the result of two sisters joining forces on a collaborative project; Samantha of Isobel Hind Couture and photographer Jade Sayers. Samantha had spent months putting her new collection together and the two had always wanted to do a styled shoot together.
Isobel Hind Couture produces the most beautiful gold contemporary wedding accessories, not like anything I've seen before – I love the hint of Cleopatra evident in these designs. Photographer Jade told me more…
"I have been an avid follower of Love My Dress for quite a while now; I love how it mixes real weddings with inspirations for couples looking to put that extra bit of sparkle into their own wedding! It has been a dream of mine to be featured on this lovely blog for a long time now.
Samantha's love of designing and being so creative started at an early age, I remember her being six years old and getting together with the intricacies of lace making, and really her bespoke collection is just this – lace making on a grander style with the finest materials, gold and Swarovski crystals, and pearls…"

"The dresses, I still can’t believe this, were loaned to us by the London Celebrity Stylist and Bridal wear Designer, Kate Halfpenny of Halfpenny London, (who recently loaned one of Isobel Hind Couture's pieces to Erin O’Connor to wear to London Fashion Week this year)…."
"It was amazing to use such beautiful and inspiring dresses, and the dresses really were timeless and elegant and Kate was so generous and lovely!"
"We were also lucky to team up with a really talented make up artist and hairdresser – Tori Harris, who did an amazing job and understood the look we were trying to create despite our confused ramblings!
Two models joined us for this shoot – Sorcha Piotrowski and Robynne Haynes, and although we hadn’t met before we all instantly clicked with each other and had such a great time that we cant wait to do another one with Samantha's next collection!"
Love this headpiece design….
"From the start, we knew we needed a beautiful venue that not only sympathised with Samantha’s creation, but also empathised and set into place the history and desire of what Samantha was creating. We chose the venue of Narborough Hall and Gardens, Norfolk, which is the most beautiful wedding venue I have ever come across (lucky me, I’m getting married there next year!).
Joanne, the owner and gardener, was so lovely and the place is so serene and ethically friendly, we knew instantly it was the right place to shoot this first wedding collection. Along with the lovely caring side of this magical place was the ‘wow’ factor of their beautiful Bridal Suite and exquisite surroundings…"
Strikingly beautiful and unusual – I really like these designs.
A new designer to add to the watch-list – what do you think?

Much love all,
