Before the winter blues fully catch up with us, we need some whimsical inspiration – and there’s no better option for that than today’s styled shoot!

The inspiration for this dreamy With Love by Mallika shoot is all about emotion and raw beauty. Weaving together Mallika’s lifelong passion for the nobility of horses and the delicate art of bridal design.

For this collection, she wanted to strip away the unnecessary and celebrate raw, natural beauty, captured by Ayla Dursun from Studio Ayla. That’s also where Rocky, this magnificent horse, comes in. To symbolise the free spirit of the wild, the power and trust that comes from an animal of that size, contrasted by the soft, delicate gowns.

With Love by Mallika is known for her intricate handcrafted wedding gowns, with her signature blend of contemporary silhouettes with feminine aesthetics. And this year’s collections are no different. Her vintage twist on modern silhouettes is what truly makes the collection stand out, complete with Italian silk, lace, tulle and hand-beaded details.

The dreamy shoot itself was to capture the raw beauty and effortless vibes of the brides who wear the pieces. With our model Bianca, with her perfectly styled hair and makeup done by the talented Erin Shanley, embodies that minimalist, effortless beauty that the With Love by Mallika collection is all about.
