Lovely Suzy Elizabeth Photography got in touch a little while ago with this stunning shoot from Merriscourt Barns. When I saw the exquisitely detailed, romantic wedding dress by our fave, English Wedding member Cynthia Grafton-Holt, I was instantly in love… and I’ve been so excited to share this with you ever since.

Romantically elegant styled shoot at Merriscourt (35)

The aim of this shoot was to showcase the rustic and elegant Merriscourt barns in the picturesque Cotswold countryside in a real venue set up.

We don’t often have ‘Owls’ in a list of suppliers for a photoshoot. Then again, we don’t often have owls swooping down towards the bride and groom, or perched on a beautifully styled wedding table. So this, my lovelies, is something a little different! Stunning styling, a gorgeous couple and fabulously curated details to show you how to create a wonderful floral wedding look with palest blues and whites and lush foliage… oh, and y’know… owls. Enjoy!“english

This classic styled wedding editorial felt perfect for a Sunday… the relaxed and elegant vibe, the gently sparkling gown and lush florals… While wedding trends change every year, there’s something so classic about an ivory colour scheme. It’s also one which works with every season, and can be blended with other more unique or quirky elements to make it truly yours. For example, for this wedding shoot the team added gold accents for a splash of opulence and green to keep things fresh and calm. Huge thanks to English Wedding member Lorna Richerby Photography for sending this beautiful feature our way. Please do check out her website if you’re looking for a Hampshire wedding photographer – and also see the full list of talented wedding suppliers who worked on this photoshoot below.
Happy Sunday, lovely!

It’s a very seasidey kind of week… I’m over the moon today to be sharing this gorgeous real wedding from Rye with you. Stunning couple Sarah and Sanusi tied the knot in safer times, so no covid restrictions… and this is a wonderful reminder that weddings WILL get back to being free, full of love and hugs and joy and happiness. And passionate confetti-throwing, and gorgeous group shots. Nonetheless, Sarah and Sanusi chose to have an intimate ceremony – before micro weddings were forced upon us, these two show they’re a wonderful choice: fewer guests can often mean more love in the room. Fact. They’ve told us lots about their day and the suppliers they used, so HUGE thanks to the lovely couple – oh, and hats off to Sanusi for making their wedding cake!!
