Warm Winter Hues at Babington House

We're delighted to share some images with you of this gorgeous winter wedding from last November, which was featured on Spanish Vogue

.

The ceremony was at St. Mary's church in the picturesque Somerset village of Bruton. It was a beautiful sunny morning and the low sun cast lovely long shadows over the graveyard making for a very atmospheric setting. The bride chose natural, foliage-heavy trailing swags for statement pew ends down the aisle, and combined this with large gothic candles for an asymmetric display at the front of the ceremony.

.

This elegant, relaxed style carried on to the reception at Babington House, as earthy, dusky tones matched beautifully with rustic candelabras and taupe candles, to give a low, informal tablescape for the Wedding Breakfast. This was set off with dark blue silk ribbons around the napkins, styled with sprigs of pepperberry.

.

The bride was inspired by pale wintery shades of blush and grey, and was very involved in designing the wedding palette with us. We mixed leggy florals and twiggy branches, with dried seed heads, and the palest nude roses and ranunculus. Using mixed styles of glassware and ceramic vases, the tables were full of shades and texture.

Classic Whites

Sometimes simple white flowers are the best choice, especially for a chic black tie summer wedding.

Recently featured on Rock My Wedding, Emily and Edward's intimate ceremony and reception was the height of sophistication. A mono-botanical design acted as the main feature for the ceremony, with clear glass vases grouped with white and green seasonal blooms, nestled with candlelight.

Emily's bouquet was a tight knot of all white hydrangeas, garden roses, scabious and scented sweetpeas, with double white lisianthus for the buttonholes.

These moody photographs from James Frost speak for themselves, and showcase the grounds at The Lost Orangery under gorgeous grey skies.
