Autumnal Ombré Elegance at The Bear Hotel, Hungerford

With the first winter frost creeping in and hot chocolate quickly becoming the household beverage of choice, we'd like to warm things up with a styled shoot we participated in from earlier this year.

Set in a beautiful Wiltshire country surrounding, The Bear Hotel offered the perfect stage for our autumnal inspired shoot. A celebration of graduating reds, warm coppers and exquisite golds, our team transformed the Riverside Suite into a magical display of colours, textures and treats for the senses.

Our ever popular hand-embellished “Chloe” shoes stole the show, with their gentle ivory pearls set on a warm tan patent heel. A whimsical daisy chain adds a dreamy girlish accent to this elegant yet contemporary piece.

For a touch of tradition, our bride had the option to don a pair of ivory lace low-heels by Perfect Bridal, adorned by hand with pearl and gold accents to the vamp, creating added drama for this sophisticated look.

In her hair, a delicate clear bead, pearl and gold vine on warm copper wire, the perfect juxtaposition of soft traditional colours for a modern asymmetric style.

Our little flower girls stole our heart with their big personalities. Our youngest wore her very own “Mummy & Me” inspired “Chloe Jr”s, adorned with the same pearl and daisy design, but on an elegant little ballet pump. For later, to add some sass and sparkle, the ballet pumps were swapped for trendy little trainers, customised in fading ivory, copper, gold and red glitter to really make a statement.

The overall transformation was a delight for the senses.

"The decor was to feature an ombré colour scheme ranging from rich passionate burgundys and reds through coppers and golds and finally coming to rest on the sweetheart table with the cascading floral garland in blush pink and cream tones and the oh so fabulous flower cloud." - Fabulous Function UK, the stylist involved.

The soft glow of candlelight danced in the reflection of glass and gold. Our happy couple sat beneath a festive cloud of mellow golden branches and romantic cream roses roses. Wendy House Flowers created a gloriously wild bridal bouquet full of colour and dramatic textures, with grasses, clematis and wildflowers.
