We have a special spot in our hearts for classically beautiful weddings like the wedding of Ella and Charlie at the stunning Brympton House in the Somerset countryside of England. With a pretty soft neutral palette and romantic florals, this couple’s wedding is going to make you want to spend the entire day looking at their gorgeous wedding photos captured wonderfully by Jessica Lily Photography!

«We met in freshers’ week at university but didn’t become a couple until 3 years later. Charlie proposed on holiday in Ibiza with a group of our closest friends. We went for a romantic dinner at Hostal La Torre (just the two of us) and went for a walk down on the rocks as the sun was setting. He proceeded to whip out his phone and read a poem he had written, and then got down on one knee. We headed back to our villa where all our friends had arranged a surprise party with decorations and Prosecco, then Charlie surprised me with a saxophonist who came and played at the villa for us all. », the bride shared with us.
I chose a soft, neutral palette for my flowers, which were a combination of gypsophila, white roses, and pale pink roses. I wanted things to feel quite subtle and understated so for the dinner tables we just had small, low-level arrangements of these flowers and then a long runner across the front of the sweetheart table for myself and Charlie.

«Our signage was very simple and modern, just plain black & white signs propped on simple black easels. My favorite decoration/feature was our asymmetric flower arch that we had framing us for our ceremony, which also got moved to go behind us during the dinner. »
«I was super anxious in the morning, but as soon as I met Charlie at the end of the aisle and we saw each other all dressed up for the first time, I just felt so happy, relieved, and excited for the day we were about to have. So, this was one of my favorite moments. Another favorite moment was our al fresco dinner. Firstly, having a sweetheart table for just the 2 of us (it was lovely having that time with just us, looking out at all our guests having a great time). Secondly the band we had were absolutely incredible and started the party during dinner, we were all up on our feet dancing between courses, which was so much fun!»
My advice to brides-to-be is to try and relax and enjoy the morning! I had 8 bridesmaids, and we were all getting ready together which should have been such a fun moment for me, but I was just so anxious. Trust your coordinator and all the professionals – they know what they’re doing and it’s all under control!

«My wedding dress was Chosen by Kyha and I got it from The Wedding Club in South Kensington. I didn’t have a second dress for the evening so wanted to customize what I had to provide a few different looks, so I had the sleeves made detachable (which I took off for the evening), and I then added a bow to the back for the party too. »
