For The Romantics
Wedding Inspiration
Is this the most beautiful dress in the World?
Our gown M2531 is from our new 2025 collection. This enchanting gown features a sleeveless Jacquard bodice with a slight scoop square neckline and Natural Italian Tulle side inserts. Fabric-covered buttons grace the centre back to the waist, leading to a full gathered ballgown skirt with a flat centre front panel, pockets, and a Basque waistline. A detachable back bow adds a charming touch to this timeless silhouette.
The on-trend style that's here to stay!
M2531 represents the resurgence of the Basque waist silhouette. This 'on trend' style is here to stay for the foreseeable future, captivating hearts with its romantic appeal and historical roots.
The Basque waist, characterised by its fitted bodice that extends below the natural waistline, harkens back to historical romantic gowns. This design element creates a timeless, romantic feel that evokes the elegance of bygone eras. The corset waist, often incorporated into Basque waist designs, flatters every figure, enhancing the natural curves and providing a graceful silhouette. The combination of these features results in a look that exudes romance and femininity, making it a favourite among fashion enthusiasts and modern brides.
Over the past year, the Basque waist trend has been bubbling away, gradually gaining traction in the fashion world. While clean and contemporary gowns remain a prominent trend, the Basque waist dress offers a striking contrast. Its nostalgic charm and unique structure set it apart from the minimalist aesthetic of contemporary styles, appealing to those who seek a touch of historical elegance for their bridal look. The Basque waist is a trend that beautifully marries the past with the present.

The Ultimate Wedding Romance
Faux Bloom specialise in sustainable, long lasting floral arrangements and installations for weddings, events, store fronts, film and television.
For this theme of the ‘ultimate wedding romance’ we chose passionate crimson reds, scattered delicate purples accented with decadent deep plum tones. The mix of luxurious silk and dried blooms an ‘everlasting love’ for the happy couple.
The table is set...
We were delighted at Copper & Ivy to be a part of the collaboration with May & Grace, the romantic brief was an absolute dream to put on a table and was a lovely contrast with the grandeur of Ramster Hall.
We opted for crisp white linens, delicately adorned white beaded crockery accented with heady gold, we chose tall elegant glasses with gentle detailing. Tones of pink were then reflected through the table with the central floral display sitting beautifully next to vintage pink hemstitch napkins gently tied with a contrasting rich burgundy velvet ribbon.
The overall feel was whimsical but classic, perfectly matching the venue, the story and the dress.
Classic & Elegant Stationary...
Our brief was to create a ‘romantic and moody’ collection of classic and elegant stationary for our brides table setting. The results matched the mood, the florals, the candles and our beautiful setting to perfection.
At Parchment & Print it is their aim to supply clients with quality design, along with 100% flexibility. They bring your dreams alive on paper!
Setting the Scene...
We set out to create a mood steeped in romance and shadow, where dark corners in Ramster Hall create an air of mystery and depth. Soft, flickering candlelight mingles with the warmth from a grand 17th-century fireplace, casting a glow that feels both intimate and timeless. In this setting, our strong, contemporary bride receives a surprise love letter as she completes her final preparations.
She drifts through the hall, the letter pressed briefly to her chest before tucking it safely into her pocket. Running her hand down the table setting and through the ancient rooms, she takes in the wedding hall set-up, with a look of anticipation the day will bring. As she moves, she pauses to steal a fleeting glimpse of herself in an antique mirror—her reflection a momentary echo of all the emotions swirling within.
The final shot captures the moment of her first sight of him. This journey through anticipation, from the letter to the mirror, is designed to highlight the romantic nature of the bridal gown and transport the viewer into the heart of the bride’s emotional experience—suspended in the wonder of her big day and the promise of that first glance.
