An Intimate Winter Wedding in the English Countryside
Dotted in white palette blooms and textural linen, a historical English countryside home was the backdrop for a romantically undone winter wedding.
Creating a lavishly intimate backdrop for the segue of winter to spring, an English countryside home designed by the architect of Buckingham Palace was the setting for a wedding dotted in white palette blooms and textural linen. Ambient candles and crystal cut glassware accented the tablescape, while draped fabric spilled onto the floor contrasting the romantically undone mood. Two pale sculptural cakes posed against the rich wood panelling reminiscent of tradition elevated by modernity. Scented by Jo Malone London to create an enveloping wedding experience, earthy tones were evocative of the rawness and luxury of England’s punctuated change of seasons.
Capturing every poetic details was Kamila Nowak.
“Just 20 minutes from historic York, the venue includes 35 luxury ensuite bedrooms, guest pantries, dining kitchens and secret staircases, creating a magical home-from-home for your wedding.”
“We wanted to showcase that magical part of the year between winter and spring.”
