A breath-taking country house enthralled by over 200 acres of stunning rural countryside, Pepper Arden Hall was the setting for this seriously chic shoot styled by My Pretties UK and captured by Natalie Hamilton Photography.

We chatted to sharpshooter Natalie to discover how the fashion-forward bride tribe vibes came to life.

THE CONCEPT

"Who doesn’t love a Bride Squad? Well, these ladies are the coolest and were the perfect models for our girlgang shoot concept. We wanted to create a cool, luxury yet, effortlessly stylish and timeless concept that you and your besties would want to replicate"

VENUE SPOTLIGHT

Built in 1730 by Prescott Pepper, with a plain elegant house of seven bays in the early Georgian style; Pepper Arden Hall is bursting with history; having been occupied by over 300 soldiers from 1940-1944, it has since reopened as a wedding venue in 2020. Full of authentic charm, period floor-to-ceiling windows and flooded with natural light, it marries the beauty of the North Yorkshire countryside with traditional grandeur.

Dresses are a girl's best friend

All wearing Joys Bella Bridesmaids, the award-winning boutique houses over 300 gorgeous bridesmaid dresses from celebrated designers.

"Our girl gang are a nude, terracotta vision; with their dresses complimented by classic, timeless hair and makeup looks by Lottie Haigh and Charlotte Wilson." – Natalie

DREAMY DECOR

"With romantic, whimsical interiors, Jen from My Pretties UK has curated a luxury yet super modern tablescape, featuring a sea of rich fabric, textures and accessories. Brought to life by Emma from The Petal Studio, stunning autumnal table flowers and statement acrylic column florals compliment each bridesmaid's gold foliage bouquet/hoop, mixing modern luxe with romantic tradition this goes against the grain of your typical bridesmaid bouquet.

This whimsical, rustic theme is continued across into the sweet treats. A minimal, single-tier cake by Where The Ribbon Ends creates the perfect understated dessert for your day- and our models loved it! Here at Belle you can have your cake, and eat it.

Adding a stunning, intimate, personal touch Somers Creative, provided personalised 'Will you be my bridesmaid' cards and note, a lush little keepsake for your bride tribe."
