Set against the backdrop of a warm summer’s day, the setting felt calm, light, and full of ease. The gardens were in full bloom, the tables were styled with delicate intention, and the florals added that perfect sense of softness throughout. Everything felt considered, yet never overworked, a balance we always strive for.

The skirt was generously gathered at the waist, creating movement and quiet drama, yet balanced by the smoothness of the fabric. We added pockets, a detail we all love, and subtly raised the hemline at the centre from. This detail, also seen in our Honour and Lilith gowns, lends a gentle 1940s sensibility that allows the shoe to peek through in the most flattering way.

While we were there we also organised a small editorial photoshoot around the city. I collaborated with Loraine Ross and our model Ellie to capture a series of relaxed yet elegant images that reflected the spirit of Wilderness Bride within the dramatic setting of Edinburgh.

Harriet wore the ‘Honour’ dress in a soft blush pink, perfectly echoing the romantic, earthy tones of the day. She paired it with a beautiful shawl in rich autumn shades, adding a cozy, seasonal touch to her look.

As soon as she tried on the ‘Piper’ dress, she knew it was her gown. The elegant silhouette and gentle drape of the fabric, cut with that signature 1940s-inspired raised hem to the ankle, created a stunning shape while perfectly showcasing her choice of Victorian-inspired bridal ankle boots.

The soft ivory satin lent an understated luxury to her look, reflecting both the elegance of the Midland Hotel and the vintage-inspired vision she had from the start.

Emily and Rob were married beneath the towering presence of the museum’s iconic T-Rex, surrounded by history, curiosity, and natural wonder. The venue brought all the drama and Emily brought all the grace.

Bridalwear may take centre stage, but grooms deserve just as much consideration—especially when you’re curating a wedding with intentional style and heartfelt detail. Whether I’m planning a styled shoot or chatting with a real couple, my approach to groom’s style is always the same: thoughtful, unfussy, and true to the couple’s vibe.

So I began creating what I wished existed: gowns that celebrated vintage beauty but felt soft, wearable, and inclusive. Dresses that captured a sense of storytelling, simplicity and elegance—without the boutique price tag. I taught myself as I went, learning the ropes of business, design, production, and the ever-changing bridal world.

Lucy wore a bespoke version of the ‘Forest’ dress, perfectly suited for the rural setting and soft, dreamy atmosphere.

With a beautiful colour scheme and an even more beautiful couple, this wedding was a stunning blend of old-school glamour and modern sentiment.

Dot hurried inside and returned with a large, vintage-looking box. She carefully unpacked it and revealed her wedding dress—a stunning light floral brocade with lace sleeves and delicate details. I had never seen anything like it before; the lace was unlike anything you can buy today.

Katherine’s wedding took place at a charming small manor house in Sheffield, where GASP Photos beautifully captured the essence of her vintage-inspired day. The combination of indoor and outdoor settings, a picturesque garden, and the warmth of family and friends created a truly magical atmosphere.

Natalie’s Christmas wedding was nothing short of enchanting. Set against the grand backdrop of Manchester Hall, with holiday cheer in the air, she looked every bit the radiant bride.

We scouted key locations around the city, ensuring that each would evoke a sense of both grandeur and mystery. From the towering spires of the Royal Mile to the more secluded passages near Edinburgh Castle, the city itself became as much a character in the shoot as the model bride.

By appointment only, the brides were welcomed by the friendly front-of-house team and guided to the event space, where they could try on the full WB collection among friends and family. The atmosphere was unique, with the dark, modern decor, high ceilings, and luxurious fixtures and fittings. The Georgian building stands beautifully and is so striking as you enter the square.

The bridal outfit was a vision of delicate lace and luxurious ivory satin, featuring beautifully crafted lace sleeves that added a touch of timeless elegance. The design struck a perfect balance between vintage charm and modern sophistication, creating a look that was uniquely Artemissia.

Alice also decided to go for the beautiful blush satin, exuding vintage charm while maintaining a simple and elegant silhouette. Complemented by the ‘Whisper’ veil in champagne, Ali's ensemble was a harmonious mix of classic and modern, creating a timeless look that will be cherished forever.

Embodying the mystique of forbidden desires, our veil collection features intricately designed pieces that evoke the allure of the Garden of Eden. From cascading tulle veils adorned with delicate lace appliqués to ethereal Juliet caps whispering secrets of temptation.
