I know! I’m finally sharing this fabulous collaboration that took place last year with Jaye of Tux & Tales Photography!

What we both wanted from this shoot was to create something dark and glamorous like you would see in 1920s films. With the fabulous vintage eras that have started to surround us on screen lately (Boardwalk Empire, Gangster Squad and The Great Gastby just to name a few), I’ve been dying to be able to swim glamorously around in beautiful silk gowns whilst listening to jazz.

Teaming up with Tux & Tales Photography, Charisma Bridal Hairdressing, Jo Bilham, I Am Nat, All Wrapped Up Events, some of my favourite Manchester venues and many more, helped us create the dark and glamorous 20s look we were hoping for. 

If you’re looking to go with the glamorous 1920s for your own wedding, there are certain details which are sure to have you looking like you stepped out of the Ritz! Plunging necklines, and timeless hairpieces are essential for this era. 

If it is dark glamour you’re after, then heavy eye make-up will take you there. The gorgeous make-up for this shoot was created by make-up artist Jo Bilham. Remember that red is your friend. There’s nothing I love more than red lips on a bride, it’s such a simple trick that makes you automatically step back in time.

TATTOO TUESDAY: 13th November 2012 [UK Tattoo Blog]

Good morning!
Who here loves their television series? I know I do! Out the many that I watch, I have a little soft spot for Boardwalk Empire – Another fantastic HBO series.

Boardwalk Empire is based in Atlantic City, New Jersey during the prohibition of the 1920s and 1930s. Leading character, Enoch “Nucky” Thompson, (played by the fantastic Steve Buscemi) is a political figure and the series is based around all the goings on during this era – mobsters, politicians and showgirls included. Bowardwalk Empire is currently half way through it’s third season and continues to get better and better by the episode. Serisouly – did you SEE last week’s episode?

Therefore, in celebration to how well Boardwalk Empire is doing this season, I came across this last week and thought I would share the fantastic work of Peter Aurisch in Germany. This guy’s work is like he’s creating a graphic novel – I love it!

How freaking cool is this?!! Amazing!

Be sure to head back this evening for a seasonal edition of Essences!
