A team of local suppliers were finally able to come together to create this stunning set of images

When this styled shoot landed in our inbox, we just knew our lovely readers would adore it. To find out more, we spoke to the photographer Anthony Crothers, who tells us: "Sarah Meyrick and I met a few years ago while working on a creative portrait shoot. Since then, we have worked on several shoots together and came to realise that we make a good team. We decided to arrange a themed bridal shoot to help showcase our talents. We then set about looking for a venue willing to allow us to use their facilities. We were delighted when Charlotte from Mounton Brook Lodge let us use the lovely venue for the whole day. We've made new friends that were happy to supply dresses, flowers, cakes, a car and accessories. We also had some wonderful models that were a pleasure to photograph and work with. With our plans being disrupted by the COVID-19 restrictions, we all felt it was important to have an opportunity to show what we could achieve together. Everyone involved put themselves out and worked hard to make it a success, and it was truly a collaborative effort."

The British Wedding Tradition Most Guests Never Question

Most wedding guests have heard the phrase "wedding breakfast", but very few stop to question it. After all, the meal is rarely served in the morning. It usually comes after the ceremony, often in the afternoon, and can involve anything from a formal three-course dinner to sharing boards, canapes, grazing tables and dessert stations. So why do we still call it a breakfast? According to Nick from Country House Weddings, the answer goes back centuries and is tied to religion, fasting and the way weddings were once celebrated in Britain. Breaking A Very Specific Fast The word "breakfast" does not originally mean a morning meal. It simply means breaking a fast.
