Opulent Bridgerton-Inspired Bridal Editorial Featured on Style Me Pretty
This lavish, Bridgerton-inspired soirée hosted and photographed by Carrie McGuire Photography would almost certainly receive a favorable mention in Lady Whistledown's Society Papers! And now you can read all about it on Style Me Pretty, where it was recently featured.
With its stunning couture gowns, decadent florals and luxurious details, all set against the backdrop of the Westgate hotel, this shoot perfectly captures the enchanting visuals of Bridgerton Netflix.
The models in the roles of Daphne and Marina wear several Edera Jewelry designs, including the Hyacinthe Tiara and Tuileries Earrings on Daphne, and the Reine Hair Vine, Hyacinthe Earrings, and Verona Juliet Cap Veil on Marina.
And a fun fact: a few years ago, I had the honor of being asked to provide some designs for Still Star-Crossed, another Shondaland TV series designed by Bridegerton's amazing costume designer, Ellen Mirojnick!
