Celebrating Love and Creativity at The Deaf Institute

In the heart of Manchester, a captivating styled wedding shoot recently took place at an extraordinary venue known as The Deaf Institute. Combining the vibrant energy of the city with a unique setting, this event captured the essence of love and diversity. In this article, we delve into the beauty and creativity that unfolded during this styled wedding shoot, showcasing the magical moments that were brought to life.

The Deaf Institute, located in the vibrant city centre of Manchester, is a historic venue known for its lively music events and art exhibitions. With its captivating architecture and eclectic interior, it provided the perfect backdrop for this styled wedding shoot. The venue’s team embraced the concept and generously opened their doors, allowing the creative team to transform the space into a romantic haven for love and celebration.

The styled wedding shoot was meticulously planned and executed by a talented team of professionals who shared a common vision: to showcase the beauty and authenticity of love. From the elegant floral arrangements to the breathtaking wedding attire, every detail was carefully curated to create a visually stunning experience.

The Deaf Institute’s music hall became the main stage for the shoot. Its ornate, high-ceilinged space provided an atmosphere of grandeur and elegance. Soft, romantic lighting illuminated the room, enhancing the intimate mood and creating an enchanting ambiance.

The bride and groom, elegantly dressed in stylish attire, radiated love and happiness throughout the shoot. The bridal fashion showcased a blend of classic and contemporary designs, embracing the latest trends while maintaining a timeless elegance. From flowing wedding gowns adorned with bows to a suave patterned suits, each outfit exuded sophistication and individuality.

The floral arrangements played a vital role in adding a touch of romance and natural beauty to the shoot. Bouquets filled with vibrant blooms and cascading greenery perfectly complemented the venue’s unique aesthetic, creating a harmonious visual feast. Not to mention our felt bouquet as we wanted to use a different media to normal flowers as well.

A talented photographer and videographer were on hand to capture the captivating moments throughout the shoot. From stolen glances to joyous laughter, each frame was a testament to the power of love and connection. The team beautifully encapsulated the emotions of the day, ensuring that the memories can be cherished for a lifetime.

The styled wedding shoot at The Deaf Institute in Manchester was a celebration of love and creativity. It showcased the venue in a beautiful way, all three floors of it and embraced the uniqueness of the models, the space and the lighting. Through the stunning visuals and heartfelt moments, this event captured love in all its forms. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries and that beautiful memories can be created in the most unexpected places.

By embracing the extraordinary and inviting the world to experience love through their lens, the team behind this styled wedding shoot left an indelible mark on both the wedding industry and the hearts of all who witnessed their work of art. The Deaf Institute became a canvas for their creativity, and the result was nothing short of magical. 

Creator Beth Atton de Sa of ALT Events Co. Will be holding one of her renowned Alternative Indie Wedding Fairs at the Deaf Institute in September. This was one of the reasons to do this shoot, showing the opening of Deafs calendar for weddings of all shapes and sizes and also to advertise the fair showing off the institute in all it’s glory so prospective brides can see the possibilities.

Flower Power. Yep, quite simply, that’s what we’ve named this issue. I can distinctly hear Miranda Priestly’s sarcastic voice in my head when she hears a fashion editors idea to do an editorial on florals for spring, “Florals? For Spring? Ground breaking.” But, with the cover image being so flipping cool, how could we not theme the whole issue around floral design, highlighting different ways you can style your day no matter the budget.

This issue is jam-packed with the best wedding planning content (and it’s actually our biggest magazine to date!).

We shot the cover of this issue within the spectacular walled gardens and Edwardian Glasshouse at Combermere Abbey on the border of Cheshire and Shropshire. Combining elegance and modern themed with a retro 80’s roller disco vibe, we wanted to stretch the boundaries and create a concept you don’t see very often, captured by Chelsey Leigh Photography. We adored the rollerblades, disco balls and big sleeves, and we think you will too!

Top tips to know about Bridesmaids

Top tips to know about Bridesmaids

When it comes to deciding everything to do with bridesmaids, such as who to choose or what they should wear, here’s our top tips on all the questions you may have. 

Who to choose? 

When it comes to choosing who your bridesmaids should be, you should start with family. Ask your sisters and your partners’ sisters first (only if you have close relationships with them). 

Then choose your best friend. In relation to choosing friends in your group, it depends on whether you want a large wedding or not. Prioritise those you have the closest connections with and go from there. 

How many to choose?

Firstly, discuss with your partner whether you want the same number of bridesmaids/groomsmen on both sides or if are you happy with an asymmetrical wedding party. Do you want 10 bridesmaids standing by your side while your partner may only have 4? 

Secondly, is your budget going to support the number of people you are choosing? Do you want quality or quantity? 

Consider personalities 

When choosing who you want in your bridal party, decide what you want or don’t want from them. Do you want a hype team? Or maybe a group of laid-back bridesmaids? 

Whatever you decide, make sure they are there to help and assist you throughout and avoid those who you believe are going to possibly cause drama and be an interference. 

Choosing bridesmaids dresses

There are no rules when choosing your bridesmaids dresses. You can have them all the same or you can have the same colours but different styles or they can all be different. It’s entirely up to you and there are so many options to choose from. 

If your bridesmaids are not happy with the dress you’ve chosen for them, should they even be your bridesmaid? It is your day to shine, not theirs, and if they don’t support your vision of what you want your day to look like, you may have to go back and think if they deserve to be by your side on the day. 

How to ask loved ones to be bridesmaids?

You could straight up ask your chosen bridal party to be by your side on the day if you really wanted to. 

Or you could create a bridesmaid proposal gift as small or extravagant as you like. It could be anything from a handwritten, personalised note or a gift basket of clues for them to figure out. 

Whatever you decide, be happy you have chosen the best of the best to support you on your special day!

Let me tell you something. Doing the job I do, I am privileged to see some of the most beautiful and inspirational weddings and shoots and we’ve celebrated that over the last five issues. But this time, I wanted to explore something a little different and step away from the norm. I began seeking content for this issue that focused on the smaller details and daring themes. I wanted to give you a taste of something different, with elements that you perhaps haven’t seen before.  So, I am proud to present to you ‘Dare to be Different’, the latest issue.

We’re also focusing on a colour you don’t see much of in the wedding world… ORANGE! Yep, we’re feeling a little ballsy and are showing you exactly not only how to make an orange theme work, but how to absolutely bloody nail it.
