Our Inspiration
Rebecca Baddeley, Director of TDR Bridal Birmingham took the lead. She says “The concept around this photoshoot was Grand Victorian opulence meets modern day bridal fashion and beauty. Inspiration was taken from the absolutely stunning, one-of-a-kind, Grand Ballroom at The Grand Hotel Birmingham. With its Louis XIV-Style, beautifully refurbished décor, it’s grandeur and its double-height windows not to mention the semi-private balcony and original art deco golden chandeliers, these beautiful elements all add to the sense of occasion, making this the spotlight of the photoshoot! There really isn’t anything else like it in the Midlands. The hotel is an architectural treasure trove of French Renaissance, Victorian and Art Deco features and so the wedding dresses we chose needed to reflect this whilst still maintaining a modern, cutting-edge style in bridal fashion. With its resplendent grand staircase and ornate Art Deco cornicing and hand finished in gold leaf there is style oozing from every corner of this magnificent building! And that’s why it made the perfect backdrop for our dresses and for this incredible shoot.”
