“Just think; the glamour of Hollywood and elegance of Great Gatsby, perfect influences for a winter wedding celebration and even better for a New Year celebration.” advantage of and a perfect excuse to cosy up and party in a grand manor with ornate detailing and beautiful fireplaces. This is why I decided upon, Manor by the Lake, being the perfect Cotswold location to base the shoot. Winter weddings really allow you to play around with food and drink ideas to create a truly scrumptious menu. I decided to add some extra glamour to the shoot by incorporating an Eggnog and Baileys drink and dessert bar with decadent treats. Not only is this seasonal
and a little bit special, their colours fit right in with the gold colour scheme. I have to say, this was one of the elements I was most excited about planning. Of course, to bring it all together I had to source some of the Cotswold’s finest wedding suppliers and a model who could pull off this elegant style perfectly. Styling and planning a shoot is very different to styling and planning a wedding. In a real wedding the couple are your customers and so all suppliers >
