WINTER

WINTER – “I Love the bones of EWE”

The winter is all about living deliciously, full of curiosity and stunning monochrome. Barren foliage and skulls make for a stark and beautiful backdrop for this super cool couple. There’s an ancient spell being cast and it’s creating winter black magic.

We wanted to show how expressive black and white can be as a palette. We wanted to really show that grooms don’t have to wear a suit to be wedding ready, and the rock and roll theme is something we love! We sourced the grooms outfit at local Birmingham vintage shops, his awesome long hair was calling out for a leather jacket and rock star hat. Both models looks were made even cooler with the chunky silver jewellery provided by Binky bones.

The bride is wearing a stunning dress by Rosie Red Corsetry, we knew her ethereal (but also badass) style was the only choice for a rock n roll winter enchanting theme. Shoes and styling done by Jo of Couture Co and Michaela of Clear Hearts gave the dress a nod to naughty romance in the form of sky high lace up leather shoes and wire bunny ears.

The makeup and hair by Sarah Russell is classic with an edgy twist. This suited the model bride perfectly with her peachy waves and china doll face. A smoky eye on both models shows makeup is for everyone. Makeup for weddings doesn’t have to be safe and boring, it can be as fun as you are!

Ava Event styling and Clear Hearts styled this with help from some fabulous helping hands who work Jo’s studio. Ava provided amazing props such as the wooden arch which the couple look so powerful standing under (especially holding our photographers lovely dog). Plants and flowers at weddings don’t always have to be your average flowers, they can be dried or stripped branches, mixed with skulls and feathers.

Stationery designed by Vickilicious gives an idea of how your invites can give your guests a taster of how your wedding will be. They are black and white skull design with a hint of winter sparkle and a black envelope to add a touch of the unexpected.

The table shows off two incredible cakes by the marvellous Conjurers kitchen. That lifesize stags head is actually a cake! The attention to detail and how many metal/ rock n roll ideas on their website made them the obvious choice. The other cake is a beautiful grey with a goats skull, an idea we commissioned for the shoot to create a witchy and Devilish vibe.

The wonderful birds and grasses styled by Ava Event styling sit handsomely with crockery, china and striking table wear sent to us by Charlotte Clark. Some of the plates are designed using real gold, a decadent way to show your love for skulls and skeletons.

We love our real couple Tanya and Alex and knew they would be total rock stars in this look, their handsome doggy friend is Otis, Sassy’s dog, who totally tried to steal the show.

SPRING – “Crazy for EWE”

The Spring shoot was bursting with kawaii cuteness! We filled every inch of the models and the table with beautiful fresh pastels and food that makes you go aww (and yum!)

We showed that weddings can be grown up and also fun like a children’s party. The models were the perfect choice with their own personal style of bright, colourful and super sweet.  Michaela’s background in fashion and Jo’s amazing clothing skills meant we could pull together some looks that any bride, groom and guest would be proud to wear to a Spring wedding. We styled the models with; an Oppo suit, Beautiful dresses that fit like a sparkly glove from The Couture Co, some very playful and colourful crowns from strawberry whiskers and OMG the shoes! The shoes are from the Bunny Pumpkin Boutique, one pair of which actually lit up, everyone wanted to try them on.

The makeup and hair was a wonderful mix of vintage sophistication and fun. Glossy pink and red lips, bright cut crease shadow and an impeccable base brought grown up glamour to a kawaii theme. We didn’t forget about the males either with a glitter beard for the groom by Le Keux and awesome temporary tattoos created for us by Doris Loves.

Ava styling brought her fabulous collection of props and crockery which made a great backdrop for the sugar sweet cake, vegan treats and mini figures from the brilliant Tiny Sarah Cakes. Clear Hearts brought trolls, Polly pockets and toys which along with Couture Co’s fabric and super cute lego figures made the table a delight to look at. We think you’ll want to reach right into the screen and grab some sweet treats.

Stationery from Prim and Glad let us imagine how guests could be invited to the big day, we chose them for their distinct style. Unicorns, hearts, doughnuts and rainbows all feature on the invites which also carries through to the table plan and place settings. For all the pastel punks out there, you’re not forgotten with creatures from Pins and Needles reminding your guests you may be cute but you’re still a badass!

At EWE it’s all about the unique and the bouquet from Maddison Rocks is exactly that! A visual delight comprising of super cute elements that also plays a tune with a wind up of the music box handle.

Entertainment at this affair is provided by Gaming 4 weddings with a customised gaming station where you can play your favourite retro games. Styled with some beautiful flowers from Ava Event Styling. As if that isn’t enough fun for your day bubbles and stilt walkers came from Flambe Circus. All beautifully captured by Asassynation and details from Kate Jackson Photography.

We were blessed with having the awesome Diablo Rose -Pin up model  as well as our wonderful real life couple Chrissy and Pete…this was such fun, and Pete totally owned his flamingo suit!!

SUMMER OF LOVE

” I, I could be King, and YOU, EWE could be Queen” Bowie

The Summer of love is guaranteed to put a smile on the faces of all your family and friends. It’s an explosion of colour, sparkles and an injection of Bowie bolts to get everyone boogying. Love is free and everyone is dressed to impress.

The table and backdrop is fit for a party that your guests will remember and all want a photo in front of. This was our chance to show you how you can have every colour of the rainbow at your wedding. Disco balls are hanging from the incredible arch and some are even hidden in the table setting. Styling by Clear Hearts and props and styling from Ava event styling are perfect for filling every inch of your photos with fun.

Light up letters from Doris Loves will mean you can party all night long and we love that they all stand alone so you can place them anywhere. Temporary tattoos in the shape of lightning bolts, inspired of course by the amazing David Bowie, are a great wedding favour (all the fun with none of the pain) and you can see one the grooms’ hand.

The fabulous models travelled a long way to be part of this shoot, we knew they would be excellent for the summer of love as they are so obviously devoted to each other! The bride model is wearing a dress by the incredible Couture Co, the sparkliest of dresses with a stunning sheer long sleeved number covered in stars over the top. A handmade dress that fits so impeccably. Our groom model rocked out hard in an orange suit from Oppo, forget navy and black being the only options! Both models had shoes made especially for this shoot by Morgan and Thread, we told them we needed fantastic kicks that said both 70’s disco and partying all night and boy did they deliver!

Accessories and jewellery were an important part of the styling for this look, they needed to be bright, OTT and exciting! We chose Working Clasp as they are all these things! Disco balls and metallics pick up the theme and we even used some of the Working Clasp pieces to decorate the table, when jewellery is this hella cool, it can be put anywhere! The crowns were the most tried on item of the day! Strawberry Whiskers makes these incredible headpieces and this one even has a disco ball in! Perfect with the models blue hair.

The makeup by Le Keux is so fresh and ideal for summer. Metallic eyes pick up shiny elements of the dress, jewellery and even the wonderful shoes. Now our summer model isn’t the type of follow tradition so her bouquet is a creation by Jamball, it’s made up of super bright fabrics, sweet flowers, embroidered leaves and even some buttons.

We all love a tasty treat at a wedding, the cake by Little Cherry Cake Co is so colourful, cutting it will be a feast for the eyes (as well as the mouth). It’s bright and bold, just like the amazing couple. Set on an incredible mirror plinth provided by Ava Event Styling.

If the setting hasn’t got enough drama for you, we have an unexpected surprise – stilt walkers! Flambé Circus hippie stilt walkers are a wonderful surprise for guests at this summer of love wedding. There is also poi which when spun by these fab professionals has pictures of the famous EWE you might recognise!

We just fell in love with the gorgeous Petra and her husband Simon, they totally nailed this shoot!!

AUTUMN

I got the hots for EWE!!!

 The rich and beautiful colours of Autumn were our inspiration for this shoot along with the excitement of Halloween. The candles are lit and our brides are looking powerful among the flames.

This season is all about being warm and cosy with medieval vibes. Our models both wear dresses from the talented Legend bridal in sumptuous fabrics. Jewellery from Vikki Lafford in the shape of moths in deep reds and purples picks up the colours of the flowers provided by Ava Event styling. The crown is from Clear Hearts worn to her own wedding. Bunny Pumpkin, Game of Thrones inspired, shoes add to the medieval feel of the shoot.

Hair and makeup by Sarah Russell is beautiful Autumn colours. Copper and bronze swept across the eyelids and strong lips make these brides look beautiful and edgy. Their skin glows by firelight. Hair tumbles around their shoulders with a romance that fits the scene.

Koo Arts skulls on the table, these are not your average taxidermy with unique collage in golds and jewel tones. A real talking point for any wedding table. Candles provided by Clear Hearts and Ava event styling create mood and atmosphere to make guests feel warm and ready for a sumptuous meal.

The bouquets are a mix of dried and fresh flowers and the non flower bouquet from Boutique Chic Unique is something you can keep forever. This bouquet is a twist on tradition that’s perfect for alternative brides.

Assassynation’s perfect timing caught Flambe Circus’ amazing fire performance. These photos show how badass your wedding photos can look. Imagine your guests delight at a fire show to warm them on an Autumns night.

The fire performers open the rock n roll video from Electric Blue Weddings which shows anything goes at a wedding from Eclectic Wedding Extravaganza! Mama said don’t play with fire but these brides are doing things their own way.

Our Models Nelli and Lillith totally owned the fire!!!

Fearless in fact!!!
