Keeping the authenticity evident in the style was important to us whilst adding elements and colors that brought life to the neutral tones.

Regional crafts and textiles, clay pots, traditional carpets and brass vases were some of the items used to encompass the old, whilst on the other hand, modern table wear from The Supper House beautifully complimented the accessories and added an exciting element to brides who would also like to embrace the current trends. The cake design by Zoya Cakes was carefully selected to bring a modern taste to the shoot with its edges, whilst remaining classic with its smooth white exterior. We worked closely with Papier Handmade who crafted an elegant stationery set that beautifully married the old and new worlds. We pride ourselves in creating location inspired setups for our weddings and that was the vision behind all the elements curated for this shoot and its creative direction.
