Golden Vintage Fairytale Wedding
In the middle of the gentle landscape of the Westensee Nature Park, surrounded by old trees, a tranquil lake and the historic architecture of Gut Emkendorf, a wedding inspiration was created that put German fairytale traditions in a new, modern light. The location, with its baroque elegance and classicist clarity, provided the perfect backdrop for an editorial that combined romance, craftsmanship and artistic aspirations.
The concept was driven by the idea of telling a fairy tale that is not nostalgic, but timeless – sensitive, powerful and visually expressive. This vision was developed by
The wedding dresses, specially designed for the shoot by White Cherry, paid homage to modern romance. Flowing silhouettes, high-quality satin and finely crafted details such as beaded back necklines or chiffon scarves emphasized the individual elegance of each bride. The four different looks embodied a new form of restraint – feminine, stylish and full of character.
With floral arrangements in fine art style, inspired by the architecture of the estate, a floral arc of tension was created between soft shapes and clear structures. The color palette of golden yellow, cream, peach, salmon and white lent the setting a warm, lively lightness. The floral fireplace installation was particularly eye-catching – an arrangement that not only decorated, but also told a story.
The picture was complemented by lovingly selected decorative elements. Vintage Stories provided characteristic Thonet chairs and fine vintage tableware. Each piece seemed like a fragment of a memory from the past – carefully placed to create new stories. The combination of textures, shapes and materials created a sensual experience between nostalgia and modernity.
Sarah Prahm was responsible for the photographic realization. Her photographs capture light and atmosphere with a calm, almost painterly sensibility. With a trained eye for composition, emotion and fine details, he created images that tell quiet stories – poetic, authentic and deeply moving. Adrian Lucas continued the concept in moving images, translating the visual fairy tale into a cinematic language that unfolds smoothly and fluently.
Soft make-up looks and natural styling, coordinated by Makeuparti.st, emphasized the lightness of the overall image. Accessories by Jeonga Choi added subtle, intellectual nuances, while handmade shoes by Pink Blueberry elegantly rounded off the looks.
With delicate colors, structure and a poetic design, Florabelle ‘s stationery also fit seamlessly into the visual concept. The wedding cake, created by Vanillerie, was delicately decorated with floral decorations and was an artistic finish to the scene, both in terms of taste and appearance.
This shoot combined past and present in the historic manor house, a subtle fairytale-like story about love and artistic collaboration in golden vintage style.
