Alternative Bridal Inspiration at The Monastery Manchester - Alt Wedding Co. x BWE

BWE collaborated with the Alt Wedding Co. to create an incredible embroidered custom suit featured in their photoshoot, beautifully set and styled at Manchester Monastery. 

This styled photoshoot brought together a collection of independent wedding creatives to celebrate a more individual approach to bridal style.

Created with Alt Wedding Co., the shoot was designed for couples looking beyond traditional wedding conventions - combining dramatic styling, venue dressing, unapologetic wedding outfits, rich and bold colours, gothic architecture and modern details.

For us, it was an opportunity to showcase how bespoke embroidery can become part of a wedding aesthetic while still feeling completely personal to the couple. Also, collaborating with other artists and photographers in this way was such a special experience.
