Getting Ready With Your Bridesmaids Should Be Magical Like This

Share

Bride with bridesmaids in muted gowns and floral backdrop

This refreshing editorial is shining new light on those first moments of your wedding day – getting ready with your bridesmaids. The talented folks over at Storme Make-up and HairThe Stars Inside and Rebecca Carpenter Photography brought together this shoot that playfully embodies the special bond between the bride and her bridesmaids with some dreamy looks that are pure magic.

And talk about bridal fashion! These mismatched yet coordinated looks are totally gorgeous in soft hues of lilac, pink, grey, and mixed metallics. But just wait till you see both of the brides looks from Joanne Fleming Design (you will definitely want to keep this designer on your radar). See this gorgeous shoot below and peep at the full gallery for every last photo.

together in grace

From The Stars Inside: The concept of this inspirational shoot was to capture the visuals of the morning of a wedding, focused around the bridal and bridesmaid preparations. We set out to create a set of images that would feel emotive, soulful, and graceful, and that would playfully embody that special bond between friends reconnecting to celebrate the start of a new chapter.

feminine colour palette

The outfits and styling all revolved around a soft, feminine colour palette of lilacs, pinks, and greys, but we were mindful about bringing this to life in a contemporary way with modern details like oversized jewellery, a wild floral installation, velvet shoes studded with pearls, block colour bouquets, and much more.

magic & beauty

We wanted to tell the story of girls being there for one other, surrounding themselves with magic and beauty, and making memories without pressure, preconceptions, or expectations. These images are about togetherness, and valuing those shared experiences above all else. We hope you enjoy this gallery as much as we enjoyed bringing this concept to life!
