The summer wedding styling
Prestwold Hall in summertime is a dream. With the gardens in full bloom and the sunshine pouring through the windows of our grand stately home, it’s hard to picture a more idyllic Leicestershire wedding venue.
Olivia and Jesse fully embraced a sunny summer wedding aesthetic for their big day, which worked perfectly with Prestwold’s light and airy Drawing Room. This grand reception space, complete with hanging statement chandeliers, huge windows and elegant period features, made a chic setting for the couple’s wedding breakfast, with the mood-boosting peach tones adding warmth.
Our bride and groom brought the space to life with beautiful floral displays in shades of peach, white and pink. Pale peachy-nude and pink coloured tapered candles, as well as twinkling tea lights, added a romantic feel, while simple Perspex table numbers felt fresh and modern. The three-tiered white ruffle cake was a masterclass in chic, contemporary style.
The peach wedding flowers
Wedding flowers can bring a big day to life and Olivia and Jesse’s stunning florals complemented Prestwold Hall to perfection.
Dahlias, peonies, and roses in dreamy shades of peach, pink and white brought that English Country Garden feel to the reception. Stocks and trailing green foliage provided texture and volume, as well as a more relaxed feel – not to mention an incredible scent. While each table featured a pretty floral centrepiece, Olivia and Jesse added interest to the top table with individual flowers and small posies displayed in mismatched vases – all in the couple’s romantic colour palette.
Olivia’s luxurious bridal bouquet reflected the couple’s colour scheme with a sumptuous arrangement of dahlias, peonies and roses tied with a trailing pale peach ribbon.
Olivia’s elegant bridal style
Olivia looked absolutely stunning in her floor-length princess gown. Featuring a corseted bodice covered in intricate lace detailing, and a full ballgown skirt, the wedding dress was the perfect blend of classic bridal style and modern glamour. Paired with a delicate veil and dazzling tiara, she really was the most beautiful bride.
Jesse looked sharp in a timeless black tux, while Olivia’s bridesmaids looked fantastic in their floaty, peach coloured maxi dresses, reflecting the couples’ colour palette.
