English country house wedding inspiration with coral peonies
Today we're enjoying the beautiful Bridgerton vibes of Avington Park in the Hampshire countryside, the scene of this English country house wedding inspiration shoot from a dream team of British wedding suppliers. Avington Park is historically the 'party palace' for British royals, designed with an opulent French flair that's quite unique in such a quintessentially English setting.
There's so much to inspire lovers of European heritage style, from the artistic stationery and chic bridal looks, to the incredible cake and floral displays full of coral peonies and fluffy blue hydrangea, all beautifully captured by London fine art wedding photographer, And Your Story.
"The planner Emma Westacott took inspiration from the venue's exceptional history and interiors to create a design that reflects the romantic beauty of an English countryside estate with the gilded grandeur of a French palace," explains Asha Annauth from luxury London wedding stationer, Babooche Calligraphy. "An explosion of English flowers served as a backdrop for the ceremony with a relaxed and eclectic seating style building on the historic furniture pieces in the room.
"The cake was designed with a Louis XIV influence, taking on key features from the Avington ballroom. It was displayed on the venue's great marble table with the mirror backdrop reflecting the hand painted iconic ceiling. Additionally, a French inspired selection of miniature cakes, macaroons and indulgent treats referenced the decadence of the Marie Antoinette era bringing in another hint of French flair."
