If you're anything like me, I am anxiously awaiting the beginning of Season 5 and I wanted to share some photos of a recently styled photo shoot that may inspire you to plan your own enchanting English Garden Party or Wedding!
Please note that ALL of these images belong to Lacey Peyton Photography, who so graciously shared them with me.
The fabulous Carolyn Mills, from Sweet Tea & Linen, assembled the Houston, TX area / Montgomery County wedding vendors and did all of the wedding styling. Sweet Tea & Linen provided the vintage rentals too.
Hodge Podge Lodge in Montgomery, TX opened their doors and beautiful English style garden for us, which created the perfect backdrop for our party!
As a Houston makeup artist, I was thrilled to be asked to do the makeup for these beautiful models! I just love the very natural and fresh faces on Downton Abbey and wanted to keep the bride's makeup very light and natural. I wanted to contrast our maid of honor a bit and went with a little more dramatic look, but one that did not compete with our bride.
Why yes, that's a real dove, provided by Magic & Miracles*!
The wedding dress and the bridesmaid dress was provided by Princess Bridal.

Jessica Nelson, who works with me on many of my Houston area weddings, did a great job styling the hair for these lovelies ….

And speaking of tea...
Tea is a wonderful way to wrap up the end of your English Garden Party Wedding, don't you think?

Many thanks to our models, who spent more time than they expected, posing in front of the camera: Michelle & Todd Hammons, Destinee Williams, Aleena Burns and Declan Kenney!
Thank you again to Hodge Podge Lodge for the hospitality - your Montgomery, TX B&B is a little piece of heaven right outside of Houston, TX!
