I've such a treat for you today, by way of a truly beautiful art-deco inspired wedding. This is the wedding of Agata and Stefan, which took place in London, June 2009.
These exquisite photographs were taken by Husband and Wife team, and London and Destination Wedding Photographers, Segerius-Bruce. Chanelle Segerius-Bruce told me…
"Agata is originally from Poland and Stefan is Bavarian, they met and fell in love in London and this played a part in the planning of the creative shoot as well as venue choices. As a surprise Agata had the flower Edelweiss flown in from Austria to be included in the buttonholes and bridal bouquet.
Agata’s 1920’s inspired designer creation from Jenny Packham set off the vintage theme perfectly. They hired a 1960’s Route Master bus to transport the wedding guests from the ceremony venue at Chelsea Registry Office to have a few drinks on a boat on the Thames and then onto London hotel, Claridges, for the intimate reception.
This was a very special and sincere wedding and we were fortunate to be invited to share a meal with the guests – a Gordon Ramsay 7 course meal no less! Lastly we all made our way down to The Embankment foot bridge overlooking the London Eye and the guest wrote out their wishes and sent off Wish Lanterns into the night. What a fantastic ending to a special wedding day."
I do love the way that Agata and Stefan have taken inspiration from this stylish
era, without overdoing any kind of a 'theme'…

Such a beautiful bouquet – I adore the colouring the size – it all works beautifully for me…
Stefan clearly had a lot of fun as he prepared himself for his big day 🙂 …
I just adore the buttonholes – which were made up of the flower Edelweiss, flown in especially from Austria by Bride Agata – what a beautiful and personal touch…
Photographer Chanelle told me the evening entertainment went down a storm…"During the evening, Sav The Deceptionist showed us a trick or two – and the biggest trick of all is that it turns out Sav lives down the road from us in Dorking and we know him from walking our dogs – coincidence, I think not!"
What a beautiful set of photographs, inspiration indeed for any Bride planning her own art-deco inspired wedding day.
