Good morning again 😉 I have been so very excited about sharing this post with you. For several weeks now, I have been liaising with a crack team of wedding industry professionals, who by good fortune {and a little bit of Love My Dress magic} came together to create this stunning photoshoot at Fetcham Park. Now, you may want to remember that name, because Fetcham Park is shortly to be launched as one of the most stylish and glamorous wedding venues in the UK – watch this space.
The beautiful dresses in this shoot are from the Jenny Packham 2012 Collection, and Rosa Clara – all of them supplied by Miss Bush Bridal. Ahhh, Jenny Packham. One of my absolute favourite wedding dress designers in the UK. I simply adore Jenny's attention to detail, all that beautiful beading, and sequin work, the embellishment sewed on to the lights of silk tulle and the way her dresses are cut and swoosh when you walk, every single design is knock out, she never fails to deliver. Not. Ever.

Emma Meek, the Director at Miss Bush Bridal talks us through these looks and how they were styled together…
"My brief to Penny at Tigerlily Weddings was to showcase some of the new 2012 collection from Jenny Packham and Rosa Clara in a cool and inspired way that was accessible still for real brides to be.
Penny’s inspiration came from the theme of ‘dolls’. My beautiful models were turned into Hippy Doll, Sexy Doll, Vintage Doll, Rock Doll and Audrey Doll. Dresses were teamed with an eclectic mix of accessories from Magpie Vintage, DC Bouquets, Polly Edwards and Gillian Million…"
Vintage Doll…
Is that the coolest way to wear a Magpie Vintage necklace or what?
Emma Meek from Miss Bush Bridal says…
"Having been a fan of Annabel’s Love My Dress blog for an eternity, imagine the thrill of having a Miss Bush shoot featured on her pages. Although I have had a bridal wear business for a considerable amount of time – approaching our quarter century – I have never arranged a shoot. Simply, I would pick my favourite image from one of our designers and place my print advertising. Falling into blog world was never a plan, tweeting as a means of networking had never occurred to me.
Then brilliantly, magically and seemingly quite effortlessly an army of creatives descended on Fetcham Park, a new wedding venue launching on the 30th October. When I asked Annabel for an introduction to a stylist she suggested penny from Tigerlily Weddings. Penny has an impressive track record of event planning and styling weddings for the great and good but also a portfolio of editorial work for the national press and specialist wedding journals…"
"Penny’s floral fantasies were created by Wild About and the amazing hair styles were fashioned by hair superstar Elbie van Eeden. Make up artist Ariane created the exaggerated ‘doll’ make up and Penny herself was dangling precariously from ladders with ribbons and balloons whilst attaching Cutture flowers to trees…"

"I started to wonder what was happening when Minnie Mouse ears were produced along with China bunnies and various bits of brocante.
Need I have worried? I was in very safe bit occasionally outrageous hands and I loved every moment. Penny’s photographer of choice was Eddie Judd whose gentle direction and judicious use of some tricky light moments has really produced some stunning shots. I am delighted that my brief was surpassed beyond my wildest dreams and Penny and Eddie have got some brand new fans in a very old establishment…"
Simply stunning.
