Romantic Art Deco Inspired Shoot
The 1920s Art Deco movement is one era I'd warmly welcome the revival of. If only to revel in the gorgeous gowns covered in delicate beading and intricate headwear that proved to be an art form in and of itself. Thankfully, I've got this gallery to hold me over until history repeats. Because with inspired shoots from Kerry Bartlett Photography this one is sure to reignite history. See it all in The Vault!
From Kerry Bartlett Photography... I wanted to create an inspiring styled based around the 1920s Art Deco movement; geometric shapes, delicate beading, intricate headwear. I chose to use the magnificent architecture of Somerset wedding venue Charlton House, as well as some of it's sumptuous interior as the setting for the shoot.
During the '20s there was a strong chinese influence in fashion and interior styling and it is from this that I drew inspiration for the colour scheme. Salmon pink and sage green were colours taken from a piece of 1920s chinese silk while the gorgeous geometry in Vicky Rowe's beaded gowns also included a hint of chinoiserie, particularly in the fan designs.
While much of the styling was based around Art Deco influence, I was keen to ensure that hints of chinoiserie detailing were apparent; styling within styling. For this, silk wis introduced; used in the stunning grey/green hand-dyed dress by Phoebe Blockley - and in a piece of nuno felt by A.P.P.L.E alpaca products.
