Carlton Towers is a setting that can only be described as spectacular. Set in 250 acres of glorious parkland, this 17th century gem is both stylish and sophisticated, and its grand, opulent décor makes for the perfect backdrop for your dream wedding.

At Belle Bridal we’re HUGE fans of Carlton Towers, in fact, we write about this stunning venue in every single issue of our Yorkshire wedding magazine. So, when this gorgeous styled shoot landed in our inboxes, we couldn’t wait to share it with you.

Golden Luxe – An Opulent Love Story is the result of a talented team of Yorkshire wedding creatives, captured by Natalie Hamilton Photography. “Taking inspiration from the ornate golden walls in the main ballroom, Ambience Venue Styling York dressed the venue in a gold and white colour palette with beautiful floral accents and magical candle light. Stunning floristry by Once Upon A Thyme included white roses, eucalyptus and contrasting foliage.
“Where The Ribbon Ends created a show stopper cake worthy of its own room, with delicate sugar work, intricate lace and ruffle detailing and golden glitter to tie in the colour scheme.

“For our flawless bride, Molly we went with soft, glamorous make-up with golden smoky eyes and a nude lip, paired with a sleek twist chignon pin up. Both created by Michaela Love Make up and Hair.

“The bridal gown was from The White Yard by Ivory and Co, featuring a V-neck lace bodice, layered tulle skirt and delicate detailing. This dramatic silhouette went perfectly with our theme. The White Yard also provided a golden hair vine, which finished the hair perfectly.

“My signature style of photography was used to showcase the very best qualities of all the suppliers and the venue,”said Natalie.
