This 'Italian chic' styled shoot, at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford, epitomises glamour and class. 

The bride stunned in a beaded dress with the season's hottest trends: corsetry and flouncy sleeves. 

Gold foil text on the navy stationery suite, with golden accents being carried throughout the styling, including the wedding cake. The royal blue textures balanced out the gold for a rich and classic style.

Hot off the press... 'Cerulean Chic' A huge thank Hot off the press... 'Cerulean Chic'

A huge thank you to  @weddingshoneymoonsmag for this double-paged spread!

Our shoot, held at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford, was styled around a balance of gold and blue hues.

When working on a cake Design, I like to pull in details that help tell the bigger story. In this case, it came from the golden Gingko leaf napkin ring holders and texture from the bridal gown. In addition to these details, the design was finished off with hand-cut and texturised golden gingko sugar leaves.

Not lovers of sugarpaste, this week’s couple opt Not lovers of sugarpaste, this week’s couple opted for a cake covered in buttercream and finished with seasonal berries. 

The taste of their cake was of importance and they chose to tantalise their guests’ tastebuds with Limoncello and Lampone con cioccolato bianco (white chocolate raspberry). Two of my Italian-inspired flavours. 

Would you prefer a sugarpaste or buttercream cake? Do let me know.

They had a very clear vision for their cake, wanting over-sized yet delicate sugar roses and a clean white-on-white design to stand out against the venue’s beautiful stone walls. 

On this occasion, I have to admit the original design wasn’t mine but hope I did it justice. ☺️
