An elegant English wedding at The Ashes

A cre­ative wed­ding day in the heart of the coun­try­side. A beau­ti­ful Eng­lish coun­try house, a gor­geous bride and groom, stun­ning pic­tures, even a nod back to the royal wed­ding (who remem­bers that one?!) — so I think you’ll really love this wed­ding blog feature!

This is one of two wed­dings at The Ashes I have to blog — so if you love this wed­ding venue, keep watch­ing Eng­lish Wed­ding blog!

Back to school for a vibrant, colourful wedding

When I need a bit of colour ther­apy mixed in with my wed­ding obses­sion, I know where to go: wed­ding pho­tog­ra­pher Katy Lunsford dishes out spec­tac­u­larly colour­ful pho­tographs in her very own inim­itable style.

This is Ruth and Dan’s wed­ding, held in April at Staffordshire’s Small­wood Manor. The school is a gor­geous vic­to­rian build­ing with its own chapel and set in fifty acres of park­land nes­tled in the Stafford­shire countryside.

Ruth and Dan's real wedding vibrant colours (28)I absolutely adore how Ruth and Dan planned their wed­ding day — with lots of help from fam­ily and friends they cre­ated a stun­ning theme of beau­ti­ful colours to brighten up the spring day. The brides­maids wore dif­fer­ent coloured pash­mi­nas — an idea I love to bits! — and tables were fun and funky.

A springtime wedding in Cambridge

Time for a wed­ding, and this one is a real treat which I found thanks to Jenny and Keith McAvoy’s excel­lent blog­ging on the Eng­lish Wed­ding Show­case. The wis­te­ria wall as a back­drop for the beau­ti­ful bride and groom absolutely blew me away.

Cambridge Wedding by McAvoy Photography (12)It turns out that our won­der­fully odd Eng­lish weather caused the wis­te­ria to flower early in Cam­bridge this year! What a great omen for bride and groom Luisa and Chris. The flow­ers even made it onto the local news in Cambridge.

Gorgeous spring wedding in an ancient English castle

Hazle­wood Cas­tle is in the Domes­day book, no less, and dates from as far back as 1086! It was the per­fect wed­ding venue for Nat­sumi and Pete, who got mar­ried ear­lier in the spring. There are some really stun­ning images here, cour­tesy of Tier­ney Pho­tog­ra­phy. I love the imag­i­na­tion of these first two images espe­cially: the shad­ows are fab!

Pete and Natsumi’s wed­ding day at Hazle­wood Cas­tle in York­shire has so many stun­ning ele­ments to it I know you’ll love this post. The baby girl is grin­ning as though she’s already got the wed­ding bug! I love the check floor with the lit­tle brides­maid danc­ing across, and the light­ing in the images of the cas­tle itself.… I hope you love this wed­ding as much as I do. Enjoy!

Brympton House

Brymp­ton House in Som­er­set, an idyl­lic wed­ding venue

Brymp­ton House is a stun­ning Eng­lish wed­ding venue, set within 33 acres of glo­ri­ous park­land and lakes and with a his­tory that can be traced back to the Dooms­day Book.  The House was once at the cen­tre of the medieval vil­lage of Brymp­ton D‘Evercy,  was built between 1460 and 1680 and is approached by a long pri­vate drive.  The estate is made of sev­eral build­ings includ­ing the 1350 Dower House, Bell Tower, Orangery & Church.
