A Minimalist Solace London Wedding Dress for A Wedding Inspired by Dried Flowers

The gorgeous Ellie and John tied the knot on 1st June this year with a registry ceremony followed by a reception The Fox and Hounds Restaurant and Pub at Hundson at Ware in Hertfordshire.

The stylish bride, who did most of the planning and styling herself, chose a chic and minimal asymmetric gown by Solace London and brought her love of dried flowers to her wedding day.

Laid back but full of effortless elegance. Thanks to photographer By Karolina for these beautiful photographs.

How They Met

We have been together since 2009 (13 years). We met in secondary school and didn’t start dating until we were in sixth form

We got engaged in 2017 on a summer holiday in Crete, in a sea cave! It was magical!

Shoes, Veil & Accessories

I bought my veil, second-hand off Ebay and I hand sewed little star busrts of beads along the edge of it, just to add a touch of shimmer.

I wore a little piece of fern from my bouquet in my hair.

All of my jewellery was designed by me and made by my father. Taking inspiration from our favourite trip together to Morocco, the earrings were casted from pieces of walnuts. My pearl bracelet was made using my mums old pearl necklace, strung onto a new clasp that I designed and made myself.

The gold bangle are two interlocking pieces (yellow gold and rose gold) to symbolise our unity. This was a gift from John.

My shoes were from Office.

Flowers

We chose My London Florist, who is not too far from our home and we absolutely loved them.

Visiting the store instantly brings me warmth and happiness, it’s so beautifully decorated and they have the most gorgeous array of flowers, fresh and dried.

A Solace London Wedding Dress

My Solace London dress was extremely minimal, but elegant and it was exactly what I wanted for our day. It fitted perfectly and ticked every box.

John’s suit was from Selected Homme and was exactly the colour we were looking for. It suited his complexion 1000 times more than a black or navy suit.

Modern, Minimal & Rustic Detail

The The Fox and Hound Restaurant and Pub is decorated so tastefully with a traditional English style that it didn’t need much at all. Our style is quite minimal and rustic, so we didn’t want to overcomplicate things.
