Styled Shoot: Thicket Priory, Halo
Set in eighteen acres of idyllic grounds, Thicket Priory is home to 35 exquisite en-suite bedrooms, a private chapel and a collection of beautifully appointed ceremony spaces.
This sumptuously appointed venue set the stage for one of our biggest shoots of our SS20 edition of Belle Bridal Magazine.
Entitled ‘Halo’ our Thicket Priory shoot was an almost celestial editorial showcasing both the myriad of luxuriously appointed wedding spaces in this covetable venue, as well as some of the finest gowns available in the North.
A meandering muse in itself, our journey through the myriad tunnels and dreamy doors of Thicket Priory unveiled just some of the stunningly beautiful, resorted spaces within the Grade II listed building.
Handpicked suites, dancing light and a stellar selection 2020 wedding gowns from both renowned designers and boutiques provide the base for this enchanting editorial.
Chloe Jane Bridalwear
Chloe Jane Bridalwear, Lace & Co, Elise Designs and Eliza Jane Howell were some of the talented creatives featured in this shoot.
Not only supplying world class gowns from acclaimed designers, but gowns from Chloe Jane Bridalwear are totally exclusive to the boutique.
Lace & Co.
Specialising in the bohemian, urban and contemporary, Lace & Co. is a must visit destination for the forward-thinking bride who is looking for a gown as unique as she is.
Elise Designs
hand-crafted and completely bespoke, Elise Designs is so much more than a boutique, with Nicole designing her one-of-a-kind gowns in her York-based studio.
Eliza Jane Howell
Another bridal design powerhouse, when a bride slips into an Eliza Jane Howell gown, their slipping into a work of art crafted with special attention to vintage influence.
