Words by Kimberley Rose Designs follow – the talent who brought together this vision.
“Intimate weddings are the perfect opportunity to really showcase the details of your wedding design. Inspired by the movie secret garden, I wanted us to bring in the feel of that secret garden to this indoor shoot and showcase how you can bring that garden feel into your intimate wedding and make it really special for you and your guests.”

“Floral designer Louise Langdon really delivered with the florals, and created an indoor garden literally on the mantle piece.”
“Our modern fairytale is a juxtaposition of opposites; the classic with the contemporary and bringing the outdoors in to recreate our secret garden.”
“The eclectic and elegant Browns Hotel provided the backdrop for this secret garden shoot and was a good way to showcase how indoor intimate weddings can be just as beautiful admist such eclectic settings.”
“The gorgeous dresses we showcased in the shoot are all from the same designer Cynthia Grafton Holt. We showcased various styles, from the uber luxe getting ready bridal overcoat, to wedding dresses for both the ceremony and reception, to the the very stylish going away trouser suit.”
“There is plenty of bridal fashion inspiration for you to choose from.”
“Whether you’re planning a micro or intimate or even larger numbers, I hope you find plenty that will inspire you as you plan your nuptials.”
