This Enchanting Garden Venue Is Straight out of a Jane Austen Novel
Do we have any Jane Austen fans in the house? If your answer was a big *ummm, duh*, then boy do we have a treat for you! This styled shoot is basically Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy's wedding if they tied the knot in 2020. Crowned Events planned this romantic shoot to perfection, choosing the dreamiest location of Kestrel Park as their setting. Prepare to fall in love with every arrangement from Bloom Babes and for your jaw to drop to the floor when you see the bride's regal Galia Lahav gown (it.is.everything.) See all the magic unfold at the full gallery, captured by the ever so talented Dear Lovers!
From Dear Lovers... Being from New Zealand, i’ve always had a special affection for anything that reminds me of my English heritage, and wanted to create something different. Something that was old world, English inspired and romantic with some warm colour and depth.
We chose the breathtaking Kestrel Park in Santa Ynez for this editorial, one of the most magical spots in Southern California straight out of a Jane Austen novel with it’s 19th century style English country house and 100 acre grounds.
We took advantage of Kestrel’s beautiful light, historic details and the fields that had turned golden in the summer heat to set the scene. With warm honey, cream and terra-cotta florals by the lovely ladies of Bloom Babes to compliment the delicate nature of the venue, a dream was brought to life.
Galia Lahav’s "Nevis" gown with the dramatic “Nova" skirt was the perfect feature piece to adorn our bride as she strolled through the gardens. Our groom wore a cream linen suit complimented by a brown wool vest inspired by Great Gatsby’s iconic suit.
Delicate paper goods by Epoch Design, paired alongside tea stained vintage poems, antique accessories and warm florals added character and history to our couple’s getting ready details. A headdress by Maria Elena, all in gold to reflect the bleached golden fields and the vintage feel of the bride’s gown was the perfect finishing touch to her look.
