Elegant Victorian wedding inspiration at Bicton

If you're deliberating the look of your day and are struggling to focus on one particular direction then fret not - for this inspired shoot at Bicton Park Botanical Gardens illustrates the beauty and ease of combining your influences to create a personalised-pretty scene.

"I wanted a venue that showed couples something different, a venue that was not only beautiful but that could also offer the wow factor," explains photographer Helen Chapman. "The theme was obvious and as one of this year's wedding trends is Victorian, it seemed a natural fit to have the shoot in their beautiful Victorian palm house, which is where they hold ceremonies."

Lush greenery combines with a hint of Victorian splendour via the venue, decor and details, with tablescapes laden with tall flower arrangements and natural details contrasted by glamorous gold dinnerware and ornate glassware.

The model is a vision of vintage beauty, dressed in a stunning long sleeved gown with floral embroidery as she blends into Bicton's bloom-filled spaces that seamlessly fuse the indoors and outdoors to enchanting effect.
