Hold onto your Santa hats, folks, because this Christmas styled shoot is about to jingle your bells like never before! Imagine if Mr. and Mrs. Claus got a glam 80s makeover, threw in a whole lotta bows, and rocked out in an orangery that’s as iconic as their love story. Welcome to the most epic, kitschy Christmas shoot of the season—complete with candy canes, cheese boards, and Doc Martens that would make even Santa trade in his boots.
The Venue: A Pop of Holiday Cheer
Let’s start with the backdrop: the stunning orangery at the British Ironwork Centre. This place set the scene perfectly for a holiday shoot that’s anything but traditional. TMS Events waved their magic wand and transformed the venue with the brightest florals that didn’t scream Christmas—but somehow still hit every festive note. Giant candy canes stood tall, while 80s vibes pulsated through the air, making this setup as cool as it gets. It was like stepping into a time machine that spit you out at the North Pole—only way more stylish.
The Fashion: Mrs. Claus Never Looked So Chic
When it came to dressing Mrs. Claus, Castle Brides Bridal nailed it with a sexy AF jumpsuit and a 1940s style tea dress that dripped vintage charm & a full on glitzzzzz glam figure hugging number. This was not your grandma’s Christmas outfit, people. The jumpsuit brought the edge, while the tea dress served that old-school Mrs. Claus realness. And let’s not forget the finishing touches by Adorn Bridal by Ashley. Those pink heart gloves and the cape? A total game-changer. Ashley also brought in the cool af bow and napkins that were so cute, they might just replace mistletoe as the go-to Christmas accessory. Personalised nutcracker napkins with initials? Consider it the ultimate Christmas wedding keepsake.
The Glam Squad: Vintage Vibes with a Modern Twist
Frankly Beautiful MUA didn’t just do her own makeup—she embodied the spirit of Mrs. Claus with a flawless finish that made her look like a pin-up queen. The bright lip was the perfect pop of colour to contrast against all that 80s flair. Her hair, styled by The Falls at Histyle, featured vintage pin curls that took the whole look to another level. Move over, Rudolph, because Frankie is here to guide this SLAY tonight.
The Groom: Santa’s Got a Brand New Bag (and Beard)
Now, let’s talk about the man of the hour: Santa Claus, or in this case, the insanely talented Outland Piper. Not only did he bring the holiday spirit with his bagpipes, but he also rocked a beard and Doc Martens combo that was straight-up iconic. Imagine Santa, but make it fashion—this guy could have walked the runway at the North Pole Fashion Week. The pops of colour from his Docs tied in perfectly with the 80s theme, giving the shoot that extra jingle.
The Feast: A Grazing Board to SLAY!
No holiday shoot is complete without food, and Honey and Walnut Grazing delivered a grazing board that was practically a Christmas miracle on its own. Piled high with mince pies, gingerbread men, and an assortment of cheeses, it was a festive feast for the eyes and the taste buds. If you weren’t in the Christmas spirit before, one look at this board would have you caroling in no time.
The Ceremony: Love, Laughter, and a Whole Lotta Joy
Finally, the heart of the shoot—the mock ceremony. Debbie T Celebrancy crafted a moment so filled with love and laughter that it made us all forget it was a photoshoot, not a real ceremony. These shoot's are not just about getting photo's of couples they are also about getting some photo''s of the people who's face is part of couples wedding days, so it was important to capture Debbie's true self and gorgeous personality.
The Finishing Touches: All About the Details
And of course, what’s a Mrs. Claus without the perfect pair of shoes? Irregular Choice came through with the most fabulous footwear that had Mrs. Claus strutting her stuff like a Christmas queen. Every detail, from the shoes to the props, was on point—making this shoot the most memorable Christmas event of the year. Frankie has a little bit of an addiction to cool shoes, so when she offered to bring them for the photoshoot, I wanted to snog her!
