The Biltmore Hotel London – a luxury wedding inspiration at the Biltmore Mayfair.

When a group of wedding professionals collaborate with an eminent London hotel, beautiful magic is sure to ensue.

This luxury styled shoot took place in the Biltmore Hotel Mayfair, a 5-star luxury hotel located in the heart of London’s Mayfair district. Over the years, the hotel has undergone many transformations and seen many well-known occupants. Counted among their number are Oscar Wilde, The Bentley Boys and countless celebrities past and present. The Biltmore Hotel London, then comprised the perfect location for a dedicated group of wedding professionals to create a modern and inspirational setting. One that oozed luxury, sophistication and style.

Setting the Scene at the Biltmore Hotel London

The first priority lay in creating a backdrop in keeping with the Biltmore Hotel London. Fabulous Functions UK, based in the Cotswolds and specialising in timeless elegant floral designs set about creating the concept and colour palette for the table settings.

With the desire to create a setting that was both fresh and contemporary yet the height of elegance, Sandra designed a serpentine table setting with florals in a palette of tangerine and butter yellow through white to lilac. She created small arrangements in the colour scheme, arranged in an ombre style, meandering along the centre of the table. Florals placed on the floor created interest and added texture to the setting.

Your wedding experience begins when you choose to work with luxury wedding designers and creatives - Fabulous Functions are a Cotswolds based luxury wedding floral designer creating exquisite floral designs for our wedding and events.

We partnered with William of Wedding Metal Art Prop Hire. A talented artist, William creates the most incredible and beautiful metal structures. He provided the halfmoon arches from which we suspended our floral chandeliers above the tables – we designed them to mirror the ombre colour way of the floral designs on the tables.

Then we repeated this theme in the concept for the stationery. Anna is the creative talent behind the luxury wedding stationers, Evelyn and Elliot Wedding Stationery. She designed the guest’s name cards in a half-moon form on seeded paper and featured the guest names, the wedding date, venue and the menu. A lot of information on a guest place card, you may think. But Anna accomplished the task with aplomb. She embellished the place cards with silken tassels in the ombre colour scheme. Creating the stationery suite on seeded paper that one can plant in one’s garden made a beautiful guest memento.

Photography and Film

It was our delight to work with Stuart Wood of Stuart Wood Weddings. His trademark fine art style of photography captured with perfection the beauty of the venue and the grace and elegance of our model bride and groom.

Said Stuart: ‘I wanted to use the elegance of this special place to its fullest extent, while making sure a definite ‘city vibe’ shone through in the imagery and showed clearly that we are in the very heart of Mayfair’

Meanwhile, Adam of Creative Spark Films lived up to the name, producing a beautiful and memorable recording of the shoot.

He wanted to capture everything at the Biltmore Hotel London using natural light wherever possible – often a challenge in the English winter! He made sure to expose for the highlights to give a darker and more cinematic look. That helped to elevate the footage to give a more mysterious, yet elegant vibe. Doing so also allowed him to focus the viewer’s eyes on the detailing of both the jewellery and the dress whilst maintaining flattering angles for our gorgeous models.

The Cake

What’s a wedding without cake? And they can come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Claire and Dan of Peboryon are cake artists with an international reputation. They’re much in demand for their luxury wedding and event cake and sweet treats. This incredible duo creates visual feasts full of delicious flavours to delight both your palette and your eyes. It was a huge honour for us to have them as part of the amazing team on this styled shoot at the Biltmore.
