Inspired by the artistry of this industry, we called on an incredible team of creatives to create our Issue 2 cover. Shot by the incomparable Holly Sarah Burgess, with make-up by internationally-renowned Lochie Stonehouse and hair by Ryder Salon's Benjamin James, these images were made to feel like a painting — furthered by our custom set, which was built and finished (in Aalto 'Respite') by award-winning cabinet-maker David Groat. Featuring Lola Bebe wearing some of the most sought-after names in bridal fashion, accessories and jewellery, this shoot is a continuation of the commitment we made in Issue 1: to highlight the broad scope of creativity and craft at play in modern weddings.
