“We based the shoots theme around a peach fruit, concentrating on the attributes that a peach has; soft texture and pale pink colouring. Ambient candle lighting and plush cascading fabrics with a massive variety of textures also provided by the stunning flower arrangements came together to give a soft opulent look.”

On top of all this was a meeting with Siobhan at Cambridge Vintage Bridal, who loaned us the original Annie Gough gown from the late sixties and shoes, it couldn’t have been more perfect.”

Additionally, there are dedicated vintage wedding dress companies. One of our favourites is the Cambridge Vintage Bridal company. Owner, Siobhan Mulholland-Cox, specialises in sourcing authentic vintage bridal gowns, which are cleaned and repaired (if needed). Siobhan also has her own studio based in Cambridge where brides can book an appointment to try on the dress. Siobhan says:

“Buying a vintage wedding dress means that your wedding dress will be totally unique, jaw-dropping and affordable. Most vintage gowns are in pristine condition having only been worn once and then put away in well-bound storage. My mission is to surface the best in class vintage gowns for the modern bride so that these gowns can bring joy and the WOW factor to someone’s big day – again. The collection spans the 1920s to the 1980s and the best bit is, if you try on a gown you love, you can take it away with you the same day. So, whether you are a huge vintage fan anyway, or having an initial nosey around at what a vintage dress could add to your big day; my top tip for brides is not to think that your entire wedding needs to be ‘vintage’ – it can be but it doesn’t have to be. Your vintage wedding dress is always going to be uniquely awesome, regardless of your overarching theme.”

“The dress featured in the shoot is an original 1950s gown. But unlike the 1950s, our ‘bride’ is wearing boots – we wanted to convey that vintage works for the modern bride and not every element of a wedding needs to be vintage; having a knock out, one of a kind gown is fine on it’s own! The gown featured in the shoot is the ‘Betty’ gown; she’s made of tulle and lace and I feel adds a playful aspect to the rustic nature of this woodland shoot. I’m thrilled with the photographs and hope that ‘Betty’ finds an owner soon, she has so much to give and can be styled in many ways.”

“Dresses were supplied by the lovely Siobhan from Cambridge Vintage Bridal. She has a huge stock of amazing vintage wedding dresses lovingly restored and the three dresses chosen for the shoot all originated from the 1970s. The flowy look of the dresses gave a relaxed feel to the overall look and stood out beautifully in amongst the greenery and glass of the venue.”

“The dress chosen for this shoot is an epic 1980s vintage piece but with lovely soft lines it floats beautifully in an outdoor setting. This dress very much borrows from Edwardian style wedding dresses with it’s high neck, feminine frills and long shapely sleeves.”

“I wanted to tell a story about what happens next; an intimate and ‘cosy toes’ post wedding shoot that shows an elated bride and groom at their most relaxed. They are enjoying being together, letting their hair down and loving their natural surroundings. My vision was that these two have escaped for a pre honeymoon weekend away at a secret location in the countryside after their daytime wedding and party. They arrive at ‘teatime’ and we follow their story from this point, spanning their jubilant arrival, some epic chilling, mouth watering feasting, swoonful dancing and a bit of fireside reflecting.”

“What better way to convey a sense of vintage opulence than with gold, original vintage wedding gowns. The full length gowns are original 1940s and 1950s and pay homage to Hollywood legends such as Lana Turner and Lauren Bacall with intricate tailoring and beautiful detail which amplify the feminine form.”

What's this item about? What makes it interesting? Write a catchy description to grab your audience's attention...Captured during the peak of Autumn when the landscape was a gorgeous blanket of burnt orange, the incredibly talented Thyme Lane Photography and equally talented team of suppliers got together to create an alternative couples shoot that has sustainability and individuality at it’s heart. Sustainable because of the products and methods the suppliers used and individual because of the styling of the bride and groom….

Ms Mulholland-Cox told the Express.co.uk: “Meghan Markle loves fashion, this is quite apparent in her sartorial choices – be it red carpet, airport arrival or heading home after yoga".

Siobhan Mulholland-Cox, from Cambridge Vintage Bridal, told the Express.co.uk: “I’d refer to Meghan’s look as ‘boldly simple’ and I think this will be her own personal brief for her wedding gown.

Siobhan Mulholland-Cox, from Cambridge Vintage Bridal, believes Meghan could take inspiration the Queen ’s sister the late Princess Margaret, who was known for pushing the boundaries, with “an essence of old Hollywood in her choice somewhere”.

Vintage wedding dresses are still very popular with creative brides who want to wear something unique, nostalgic and also ethical, but many worry that they will end up looking old fashioned

“Don’t be afraid of vintage wedding dresses and always try on as many styles as you can. Experiment with accessories too both vintage and modern. You don’t have to be having a full on vintage wedding, you can just be a leading lady in a unique dress that happens to be from the 1930s. 

"Her fashion style is also very contemporary – we've seen leather jackets, standout hats and some pretty bold patterns - something many of the royals seem to steer clear of," Mulholland-Cox said.

Princess Eugenie's style is different from Kate Middleton and Markle's, but she "definitely knows what suits her and she sticks to it." "If ever someone had the opportunity to up-cycle and restructure an iconic 1980s wedding dress, it's Eugenie!" Mulholland-Cox said

When it comes to her dress, Cambridge Vintage Bridal’s Siobhan Mulholland predicted Eugenie’s will give a nod to her mother Sarah Ferguson’s.  Speaking to the Express.co.uk she said: “We very rarely see her in floor-skimming dresses or even trousers because she works the A-line knee/shin-skimmer dresses so well..."
