“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.” – Jane Austen.

English countryside, lace, hand-painted bone china and romance — all elements associated with Jane Austen novels and with weddings. Inspired by all things ladylike, today’s pretty styled shoot takes Jane Austen to the present day bride. Choosing to forgo stuffy costumes and groomed lawns in favor of clean, outdoor elegance, this is a wedding Mr. Knightley, Emma Woodhouse and Kate Middleton would be delighted to attend.
