A Gypsy Vintage Wedding, Part 2.

Dear Reader,

Today I have more delicious Gypsy Wedding images, from the photo-shoot using my original vintage dresses…

After some research, the stylist / photographer team behind the shoot knew they needed an original Romany Gypsy wagon. It took some time to find the perfect one…

And luckily for them, they also found Walter – one of the most revered Gypsy Wagon Restorers. As well as loaning them this stunning black-and-gold caravan, Walter and his family guided them through all the details for the day. In Christian and Erica’s words…

“Walter took us though to his barn, and it was an exciting moment to come face to face with what would become the centrepiece of our shoot – a gorgeous, original ‘Doors & Windows’ Romany caravan, hand-carved and covered in gold leaf.

We also took the opportunity to talk to Walter and his wife Mary about traditional gypsy weddings, and within minutes they’d found a fascinating old leather-bound album full of black and white family photos from gypsy weddings. And so we began to form a picture of what a REAL gypsy wedding would’ve looked like.”

The results are lovely. So soft and romantic…

Thanks for stopping by,

Love

Helena
