Photoshoot Secrets & Vintage Bridal Styling Tips:  This is one of our favourite ever styled photoshoots. Not only were we lucky to work with a dream creative team, but the sixties is one of our absolute favourite fashion eras, and with so many different styles and bridal looks to choose from we knew we could shoot a really fun and diverse range of looks to showcase the swinging sixties.

We wanted all of our looks to have a very strong and authentic sixties feel to them, and our model Addison’s bob hair cut was perfect to capture that era’s mod style influence.  She also she re-created our favourite iconic 1960s make up looks for the shoot and put a slight modern twist on them.

Because the sixties was an era that gave us a wide range of iconic bridal styles, it was really exciting to be able to choose some of our favourite styles to show off just how diverse the designs are.  We shot looks ranging from chic short dresses and Jackie O style bridal suits, to mini dresses, space age style dresses, feather trimmed dresses and even a frilly lace trouser suit.  We also shot a fabulous 1960s faux fur cape, and a stylish 1980s tuxedo style jumpsuit because it fit in so well with the other looks!

These looks are fabulously unique and glamorous and suit all ages of brides and all types of weddings.
