Luxury wedding elegance with quintessentially British botanicals

Just one tiny little detail can make your wedding look amazing. Today’s shoot gathers them all beautifully together – from a twinkling fairy light canopy to floral meadows and delicate floating candles for a romantic, luxury wedding look.

The photography sings of summertime and blissful light. We’re in love with fine art wedding photographer Natalie D‘s images, which capture the essence of this shoot so beautifully.

The shoot was curated and styled by the tremendously talented London wedding planner Illy Elizabeth Weddings, with the most wonderful eye for detail and specialising in effortlessly elegant, luxury wedding style. The team worked closely with a brand-new UK venue – Greentrees Estate in the South of England. The result is a high-end luxury editorial that showcases British botanicals alongside elements that couples can easily incorporate on their wedding day.

Sustainability is important to us at English Wedding, so we’re always thrilled to share British botanicals and flowers with you. The floral styling is stunning – with creeping foliage framing the wonderfully light windows of Green Trees Estate, it’s truly beautiful.

Within the botanical styling, the tiniest details are exquisite: white foxgloves paired with cow parsley (and I think willow stems?) evoke country lanes, with anemones and blush roses adding wow factor. The overall look is incredibly romantic, and beautifully balanced for a breathtaking luxury wedding in the heart of the English countryside.

Lyn Ashworth is a UK bridal brand with a showroom in the heart of the Staffordshire countryside. If your budget allows, please do consider buying your wedding dress from a UK designer – for the beauty and quality of design but also to reduce the carbon footprint of your wedding. The newest collection from Lyn Ashworth will be Mabel, and we’re over the moon to see two dresses from The Mabel Collection in today’s luxury wedding editorial!

The team used delicate florals tones including different shades of pink and blush that were put together by Tony Dunn Flowers. “We wanted to ensure that we used English sourced botanicals where possible. We wanted to create an ambience to overall look of the editorial, so opted for a bespoke fairy light canopy to be installed over the table design. You will see the floral meadows featured with self-contained floating candles, which most wedding venues in the UK request you use, instead of a naked flame.”
