Today is a special day: we've actually never had a feature from Istanbul before so we wanted to give this our fullest attention! This styled wedding has a whole range of bridal looks and ideas so we've split it into two parts and will be featuring the second part tomorrow. The idea behind the shoot was to inspire couples thinking about the destination of their wedding to consider Istanbul in Turkey. Located at the meeting point between Europe and Asia, Istanbul is a really beautiful and cosmopolitan city- I've been there myself and would love to go back. The vendors involved wanted to showcase the city as a great place for a destination wedding, and inspired by the spice markets held here, they used spices as their theme, using traditional Turkish elements in the decor such as copper pots. The choice of venue, Les Ottomans, was the perfect fusion of modern and traditional in the centre of this amazing city. Captured by Yeliz Atici and planned by La Lumiere Events, this styled wedding showcases Istanbul as exotic yet modern- the perfect choice for couples looking for a unique wedding destination!
