Modern Urban Luxe Wedding Editorial at The Berkeley, Knightsbridge
We wanted to cross the luxury high-end side of weddings with a modern urban twist. Creating a city chic vogue-inspired style with incredible new wedding designer Kate Edmundson Bridal Couture, the most talked about newcomer in the Wedding Industry.
The Berkeley in Knightsbridge, London is well known for its prestige clientele. You will usually find a supercar or two, in front of the classic winter lights they normally hang outside the front during the winter months. Based in the heart of Knightsbridge, we were adamant we wanted to do a styled editorial at this venue, to showcase modern and luxurious styled wedding, whilst keeping things very high-end. At Illy Elizabeth Weddings, it was our biggest challenge yet, to showcase this prestigious venue in a modern, urban way.
We decided on a monochrome inspired palette, crossing elegance with neutral tones to compliment The Berkeley venue itself. Whites and neutral tones seem to be becoming extremely popular at the moment. We worked with our florists to bring in some modern yet unique florals to the tablescape itself, featuring white Anthurium which we fell in love with!
We opted for a grand five-tier cake which was set in front of a bespoke frosted acrylic piece, made with bespoke vows that were written by our celebrant. A handmade bespoke piece by Rachel Sokhal Bridal Accessories were made to match our bridal shoes by Emmy London. The city-chic makeup and hair look was created by Katie Malin MUA, and she worked effortlessly to create a modern, high coverage, yet extremely chic look for our bride.
