This beautiful editorial is a celebration of the kind of wedding so many modern couples dream of – a glamorous country house setting full of English charm, with effortlessly elegant details and romantic, floral-led styling. Cornwell Manor, one of the most enchanting manor house venues in the Cotswolds, provided the perfect backdrop.

Brought to life by a talented team of creatives and led by photographer Katrina Bartlam of Captured by Katrina Photography, the shoot brings together everything we love about an English country house wedding: wild, rambling florals, refined bridal fashion and thoughtful, layered styling that feels both luxurious and deeply personal.

With breathtaking floral design by Honeysuckle Flower Co. and elegant cutlery provided by The Luxe Collection – both much-loved and highly recommended members of our directory – every element was considered to reflect the natural rhythm of a wedding day, from the quiet excitement of morning preparations through to the candlelit elegance of dinner beneath the orchard trees.

Enjoy!

This shoot wanted to really lean into the glorious juxtaposition that feels so unique to British venues – the luxury and glamour of country manor houses alongside the historical, wild, rambling feel that accompanies this. Cornwell Manor was the perfect backdrop for this – the most stunning country Manor house that also has a beautifully wild and romantic feel to it.

The morning of a wedding is one full of excitement and anticipation and the backdrop of Cornwell’s bedrooms gave us a chance to create images that were fun and relaxed with a little glamour. Meeka provided the perfect pyjamas and gown set for this part of the day. Delicate linens and relaxed yet beautiful fits were the perfect accompaniment and designs that I personally adore.

Make up and hair was created to really bring out the natural and stunning features of our model. A beautiful dark eye, natural curls all set off perfectly with some stunning jewellery from Megan Therese Couture and a dramatic veil from Nola Grey.

Cornwell Manor rests within a vast 2,000-acre private estate near Chipping Norton where Oxfordshire and Gloucestershire quietly meet. Tucked into one of the Cotswolds’ most scenic corners, this is English countryside at its most enchanting.

Dinner took place under the apple trees in the orchard at sunset. A wonderfully romantic setting – long tables with delicate roses, silk and gold, tapered candles all sat on top of a cloud of flowers and apples. A stunning cake was designed by French patisseries chef Isabelle Boizis.

The perfect stationery suite was created by Dotthei Atelier – thick luxurious card, bronze and gold print, menu’s with golden sunset c reflected the romantic setting perfectly.

The florals were a centrepiece to the shoot – luxurious clouds of spray roses set amongst rambling English foliage.

This was a collaboration between an incredibly talented group of suppliers, an example of how much wonderful creativity and artistry there is in the industry at the moment, a chance to flex our creative wings and enjoy a day working side by side with fellow creatives.
