This rich and inviting winter inspired style shoot warms us from the inside out and makes us crave the warmth and romance that the winter months bring. A rustic backdrop, combined with modern glam touches and rich reds makes for a romantic wedding theme that is hard to resist. Bruntwood Homestead is a new wedding venue for the 2016/2017 wedding season, on the outskirts of Hamilton, NZ. The grounds are set amongst grand old trees, colourful gardens, farm shedding, and a luscious meadow. When you have Vinka Bridal gowns, the vintage glam just doesn’t stop. This Vinka Couture gown is vintage inspired, subtly sparkly, and full of feminine romance. Modeled beautifully, it’s a dress that’s hard to resist. The deep red roses and abundance of greenery only heighten the sheer glam of this dress and add to the warm romance of the room. We are loving the bottom tier chalkboard cake with a nod to the rustic venue and the gold top layer which adds the most gorgeous touch of glam. Tying in with the elegant touches of gold on the gorgeous invitations and place settings, it’s a combination that’s hard to look away from. Add a gorgeous piano, exposed wood and copious amount of candles makes for an opulent and glamorous wedding theme that we only hope to see more of over the next few months!
