Art deco wedding by the sea

Make a splash with shimmering jewels, fabulous feathers and a dash of deco style for the ultimate in vintage seaside glamour



Perched on the tip of North Devon with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean and Braunton Burrows, Saunton Sands Hotel provided a versatile and dramatic location for this styled shoot. "The stylish deco interiors with a boutique edge and the far-stretching scenery of the cliff edge setting provided our inspiration," comments Bridget Scott of Blue Fizz Events. "The venue offers the perfect contrast of timeless chic and laidback barefoot elegance."

A decidedly deco celebration space sets the mood. A scheme of crystals, slick black and blush trim set a timelessly stylish vibe, while catching the light from the chandeliers and deco mirrors on the table settings. "The stunning cake captures the soft ambient light with a metallic glow, while the black ribbon and mirrored table offer a nod to deco style," says Bridget.


The striking centrepieces comprises white on white blooms, which encircle deco gloss black stems crowned with dramatic white feathers. "These sit perfectly with the hotel's heritage and make an impact in the expansive dining rooms with their unbroken views over the sea, sand and dunes below," comments Bridget.

The groom's look complements the mood of timeless elegance. "Our groom is dressed to impress in a three-piece suit teamed with a trilby and leather brogues for a classic look with a modern cut." The bride, meanwhile, exudes an irresistibly cool glamour in a bejewelled and beaded pillar dress and a series of statement headdresses. "The look evokes a bygone era yet complements a sleek boutique edge," says Bridget. "Many brides now opt for a different look as day turns to night. Our bride looks every inch the party girl with a full feather headdress."
