Behind the scenes: Wrest Park Mansion

What a fab start to the new year! The new collection is exciting all at Jasmanique HQ. To launch our new 'Romance Collection' we carried out a stunning photo shoot at Wrest Park Mansion, Bedfordshire. What goes into a shoot? Well, a lot really. Thankfully we have been lucky enough to work with some fabulous creative women, who made the whole process easier.

Here's a few behind the scenes pictures, be sure to pick up a copy of the next Asian Bride Magazine for the full editorial - Out Now! 

Wrest Park is a stunning venue for a wedding, it was also where Lily Allen shot the video for her Number 1 hit single The Fear!

I hope you enjoyed the wedding as much as we did.
And my favourite snap is of little 'grumpy grace' who was clearly fed up with all the noise and hassle of being a royal bridesmaid!

{Wedding Inspiration: Alexander McQueen }

Some Friday inspiration!We are totally inspired by the Alexander McQueen collection which was showcased at Paris Fashion Week. Sarah Burton reflected in the collection Alexander McQueen's love of dark and light. We think the white gowns were truly stunning. Adorned with heavy textures, feathers and lace detail. Makes me want to get married again! The burning question is - Will Kate Middleton be wearing a McQueen dress on the 29th of April?

We will just have to wait and see!

{Behind the scenes: Moor Park Mansion shoot}

Moor Park Mansion is one of my favourite wedding venues in the UK, the main reason being - its where hubby and I tied the knot! The wonderful people at Moor Park Mansion were kind enough to allow me to hold my very first shoot there, the images were featured in Asian Bride Magazine Issue No. 29.

Together with a team of very creative women we had an unforgetable time shooting Jasmanique's Opulence collection and we were blown away with the images delivered by Fk Creatives. I plan to dediacte a post especially to this creative Duo. Check out more of their amazing work - FK-Creatives

{Wedding Inspiration: UP }

In yesterday's paper I spotted the house from Pixar's 2009 animated hit film Up has been recreated in real life by National Geographic and launched thousands of metres into the air using helium-filled weather balloons!! You can see more here - It prompted me to share some wedding inspiration!

Up by Disney Pixar is still one of my all time favourite films. Since the films release in 2009 I have seen some amazing wedding pictures inspired by Carl & Ellie's Story. If you haven't seen this film yet, you really should. It is sweet, funny and in parts sad, but has a really beautiful message. If you do not want to spoil the surprise stop reading now. 

INSPIRATION BOARD: UP - Photo credit: Jasamanique , wedding pictures via Green wedding shoes , Disney Pixar Up

It’s about a couple that met when they were children, both shared a love of adventure and exploring. They later marry and promise to go visit Paradise Falls when they save enough money. Unfortunately, Carls wife dies :( and they don’t get to make the trip. Carl decides to try and make the trip himself by tying thousands of balloons to his house and floating away. And an adventure begins…

I came across the most amazing wedding pictures inspired by the film on one of my favourite blogs, Green wedding shoes. The brides beautiful dress is designed by Windy Chandra and its very similar to the Jasmanique fairytale wedding dress seen in our mood board.

and the cake is just too cute for words!!

More pictures from this wedding can be seen  here. ENJOY!
