A Drama of Drapes at Wynyard Hall
Featuring the biggest trend for 2025 and 2026, this photoshoot directed and captured by Belle photographer favourite Helen Russell showcases a styled draping masterpiece at one of UK’s biggest wedding venues - Wynyard Hall.
The use of lustrous golden fabric cascading luxuriously across the tables by Maedae Events creates a sense of regal sophistication, beautifully contrasting with the stature and architecture of the venue. It's a textural masterpiece complemented by floral tablescapes by Nomad Flower Den
Inside the early 20th century Chapel the styling continues with an ethereal touch — soft, flowing fabrics echo the draped textures of the table settings, uniting the indoor and outdoor scenes in visual harmony.
" Textural draping is a huge trend for 2026 and can bring intimacy, drama, style and luxury to any space, we love the styling and colourways used here" Belle Bridal
From voluminous gowns to sleek fitted silhouettes by Allure Bridal from North East boutique You Are Precious Bridal elevating the theme beautifully. Accessories by Harry Holtby Accessories and The Bobby Pin adding the perfect finishing touches to the looks.
Layers of sheer, billowing material, regal mirrors and the refined details bring a sense of fluidity and drama to the décor.
A cohesive story of elegance and romance, Wynyard Hall is a stage for both grandeur and intimacy. The overall aesthetic feels almost painterly — a masterful composition of texture, tone, and movement that elevates the setting into something truly cinematic.
Belle Loves: The feather veil - adding a feminine and playful touch to this epic drama.
