Jane Riddell from Planned for Perfection, a luxury wedding planner and esteemed 5 Star Wedding Directory member, recently showcased this historic venue’s timeless elegance through a beautifully styled shoot.
Collaborating with top UK wedding suppliers, they brought to life the castle’s regal charm. The venue was transformed into a scene straight from a period drama, blending Downton Abbey’s sophistication with The Tudor’s royal allure, all while capturing a Bridgerton-like romance.
The setting was magical, decorated with cascading florals, rich burgundy and blush tones, and a candlelit ambience. The outdoor ceremony spaces, especially at the venue’s gates adorned with stunning florals, offered a breathtaking backdrop.
The wedding attire, featuring gowns from Ellie Sanderson Bridal and a Hollywood glamour-inspired dinner suit from Regency groom, complemented the venue’s elegance. Additionally, artwork by Lucy, a Live Event Artist, provided a lasting memory of the occasion.
