Classic Estate Wedding in Silver and Gold

Styled and designed by Sarah Hannam in a huge, private estate in the UK, today’s wedding inspiration shoot, titled Whispers of Spring is nothing short of perfection. And just wait until you see the telescope. Silver sequins against candlelight have never looked so divine!

From Sarah Hannam – “ ‘I shot Whispers of Spring’ at Boconnoc, a huge private estate in Cornwall, Southern England owned by the Fortescue family. It’s a fantastic wedding venue and the estate has a really amazing history – it was bought with a diamond smuggled out of India and after the Second World War the house fell into total dereliction, which took 12 years to fully restore. The result is a stunning, warm traditional English country house.

The shoot is inspired by the in between stage of winter and spring when Christmas is past and the trees are still bare, but the sunshine feels a little warmer and there are little whispers that springtime is just around the corner!”
