Among the rolling hills of the Cotswolds (a region of central South West England), a few miles from the historic city of Bath, sits Euridge Manor. This charming locale with its Georgian-style architecture served as the enchanting backdrop for a styled shoot reminiscent of an English garden party wedding. Organized and hosted by AMV Retreats and captured by the one and only, Sarah Cannon of Fox & Fig Photography, the shoot offers inspiration for couples imagining a fairytale-like destination wedding.

The tables are decorated with flowers and candles, overlooking a scenic landscape. A couple in formal attire toasts with champagne, stands in a garden, and embraces surrounded by hedges. An outdoor table is elegantly set for dining.

The first look is of an elegantly simplistic welcome party, serving as inspiration for an ideal way in which couples can kick off several days of celebration abroad. In fact, an emerging trend we’re seeing for 2025 destination weddings are “all-guests-allowed” welcome parties replacing those traditional rehearsal dinners that are typically restricted to just the wedding party and immediate family. Utilizing a palette of ballet pink and other soft pastels, the florals by Flourish & Grace add a romantic and ethereal touch complimenting the bride’s floral gown featuring lavender-purple wisteria.

A bride and groom stand closely, holding a bouquet. Nearby, an outdoor wedding ceremony setup features chairs and flower arrangements by a stone arch. The sky is blue with a few clouds. Bride and groom stand in a lush garden surrounded by flowers, beneath an archway with a hanging chandelier. The bride wears a flowing white gown with a veil, and the groom is in a black suit. A bride and groom exchange vows and rings in a lush garden ceremony, surrounded by greenery and floral decorations.

Transitioning to the wedding day, the scene is set amongst the grey stone garden gates and engulfed in blooming pastel-colored roses, tying into the vibe of the welcome party centerpieces. Perfectly framed in stone and standing beneath a crystal chandelier, the couple exchange romantic vows. The bride dazzles in a mermaid-fit gown with a corset-like top and a tule, off-the-shoulder look by Saiid Kobeisy, and lovingly gazes at her in his black suit and bow tie from Dapper Chaps.

Festivities flow into the manor-side reception with furniture and tabletop rentals from Allens Catering Hire and The Bailey Events Tableware bringing an element of sophistication and comfort to the setting. Luxurious linens by Nuage Designs add texture and richness to the tablescapes, while the elegant menus designed by Laura Elizabeth Patrick printed on linen tie perfectly into the English garden party wedding aesthetic. Erzulie Cakes provide an array of confections featuring delicate floral details and elegant finishes. The bride changes into a glamorous Berta gown with accessories from Botias Accessories and toasts with her groom to a successful start of a lifetime of love.
