Luxurious White & Green London Wedding Inspiration

Luxurious and Opulent Wedding Inspiration Featuring Six Stunning Dresses – Gianluca and Mary Adovasio – Tigerlily Weddings 61

English opulence – that’s what we have to share with you today. And whether it’s our Downton Abbey movie hangover (did you see this Lady Mary-inspired shoot?) or my own swanky trip to London last week, we are *living* for this.

Opulent wedding design takes an extra dose of love and care, and the massive team of London vendors & designers sourced for this luxurious styled shoot went above and beyond to hit the mark. From a floral-adorned, six-tier wedding cake to six stunning couture wedding gowns, the editorial might be the epitome of “extra” (in the best way possible).

And while the lavish look of this shoot is quite enough for us to swoon, it’s the tiny details you begin to notice after a few scrolls that add a little cutting edge. Take Luna Bea‘s cool-bride bridal accessories for example – a delightfully funky addition to the otherwise wholly romantic styling. Additionally, we spy a few rock and roll Tilly Thomas Lux earrings that remind us that yes, this is absolutely London.

So getting your Pinterest boards ready, this London styled shoot photographed by Gianluca & Mary Adovasio and dreamed up by Tigerlily Weddings is about to wow.

The vision of the shoot was to create a marriage of fashion and design with a fine art direction encompassing a modern narrative.

Within the design, we wanted to embrace fine art but add touches that mirror the restraint of the modern minimalist. So, bringing a modern luxe London feel to the fine art scene was a little bit of a challenge but equally a thrill to shape and showcase something a little different.

Our colour palette was predominantly white with touches of garden green, blush and gold accents, I felt it was really important for the overall feeling to feel soft and effortlessly blended.

The Venue

I have always adored the ICA and have looked at it many times with my clients but have never booked. It was the first venue on my mind when Gianluca approached me.

Its amazing historical detailing – like the regency ceiling moldings winding staircase with skylight and floor to ceiling windows which let the light flood the venue – made it the perfect choice. The views from their amazing three balconies overlooking St. James Parks are equally breathtaking, the venue is just effortlessly chic!

The Florals & Cake

The table was adorned with a large rustic floral garland and overhead we had a floral installation with three cascading flower chandeliers which showered the table with the most magnificent scent. We wanted the table design to feel magical and refined. And with a nod to the playful within all of us, we dressed our lovely flamingo in florals with soft feather grass.

I really adore the floral artistry of Paula and the magic of the wedding cake created by Elizabeth. The chandeliers delivered far beyond my wildest dream the lilies multi-tiered with the cascading wisteria were utterly magical. Elizabeth attention to detail to match all the florals we used with the dining table and re- create these with some of the best sugar craft I have seen. The cake totally hit the brief and again give that slightly over grow and organic wild feel but with that perfect touch of restraint that just made all the details seamlessly sing together.

The Dresses & Accessories

Within the bridal fashion looks we created for the shoot we wanted them to feel directional with a mesmerizing blend of fashion and accessories exuding chic and elegance for the creative and fashion-conscious bride. I am a real fan of the paired back look so I love the amazing gowns with one statement accessory and pulled-back hair and makeup look. Think Met Gala and that sums it up perfectly for me!
