Wedding Inspiration: Sex & The City, Amethyst Purple, Black, Silver & White
Concept
Sex & The City laid the foundation of this inspiration. With funny quotes, fashion envy and best friends living in the City, I wanted to bring fun, sass and sexy into a luxury townhouse in Knightsbridge London. Think Queens, Ladies & Sass in one. During 2021 we have seen incredible inspiration, and I hope these 4 individual women bring so much life and coolness and badass vibes to whoever sees.

Vision
Where town hall weddings have been known to be dull, these four individual brides will show you how you can bring fun in an affordable way to your big day. Each room was individually styled by Carmela Weddings.
Balloons
Balloons were provided by Dash by Kiki. Orbs are so in and they create that elegant feel. Silver and Black were our balloon colour choice just to break some rules from the traditional white, known for wedding balloons.
Dessert
This shoot screams spoil yourself all over. And that is why we had to get a few of our favourite sweet treats on the table for our bride. Amina Greys Treats designed our dessert table with cupcakes, cheesecakes, cookies & cream and macarons – all miniature versions for that indulgent yet affordable wedding day guilty pleasure.
Cake
For each bride Corrins Creations, designed 4 individual wedding cakes replicating each bride. It was all about being bold and bringing individuality to cakes that break the mould for wedding cakes.
Accessories
Our bridal accessories were made up of stunning statement hairpieces from Baba-C Designs giving each bride a luxury feel and that wow factor on simple hairstyles. Tulle and Flo Designs also bespoke made two veils for us. First, the stunning purple butterfly birdcage on our city chic bride. Since when did birdcages become outdated? Our final veil, the black cathedral was just wow! A complete statement piece and if you are a bride looking for a veil to bring impact, especially with a brides tux, then this could be the one.
Outfits and Shoes
Our brides were dressed in fabulous apparel all from stunning designers:
Story of My Dress – City Chic Shoreditch Dress
Sanyukta Shrestha – Ethical Esperia Gown
Millia London – Daring Black Gown
Zara – Bold Purple Suit
Music
What is a wedding without entertainment? It is all about them too. We had a violinist (Naomi Wilmhurst) stand out in an ivory dress from Story of My Dress.
Flowers
Wow! These florals are to be saved. Queen of Heart Florals made sure each element was a WOW moment. Working with the colours, elegance and boldness created a look that worked for all brides.
Stationery
So Calligraphy bought sex & the city to this shoot and it was amazing. With famous quotes and simple looks, it adds the personality of each bride.
