A sleek bridal gown, creamy blooms in soft shades of pink and peach, and details dotted with pearls and accented with gold – the classic-contemporary mood of this romantic styled shoot is perfectly in keeping with its setting: the Georgian climes of Polstrong Manor. From the bridal suite and drawing room to the orangery bathed in natural light, the house has been lovingly restored to create an elegant setting for a modern wedding while embracing its historic character.
The bride and groom carry the aesthetic perfectly: the minimalist gown with its statement back bow is modern yet timeless, while the textured updo and glossy waves epitomise modern glamour. Pairing perfectly with his bride, the groom dons a sharp black-tie ensemble, the dried flowers of his buttonhole a subtle nod to current trends.
The delicate blush and peach flowers bring dreamy texture to the tablescape, the ferns blending beautifully with the taupe candles and copper tones of the cutlery. Gold accents are woven throughout, from the rims of the plates to the stationery and cake, the intricately iced tiers adorned with gold leaf and dainty pearls.
Elegant, enduring and oh-so romantic, it is a dream scene for a classic country house wedding with a contemporary twist.
