Golden hour. Gentle breeze. Glass in hand.

It’s peak wedding season and the grounds are glowing ✨

As the sun begins to set over our sunken lawn and terrace, there's nothing quite like sinking into the stillness of a summer’s evening — where every corner becomes a picture-perfect backdrop and every moment feels made to be remembered.

Here’s to love, laughter and bubbles in the garden 🥂

We recently had the pleasure of hosting a beautifully curated styled shoot at Wivenhoe House — a celebration of timeless elegance and artistry, where hues, textures and tones harmonised perfectly to create an atmosphere of pure romance.

Each detail was thoughtfully chosen to complement the rich character of our historic house and its lush surroundings, inviting a sense of soft sophistication. From delicate florals and ethereal draping to the intricate tablescapes and handcrafted cakes, every element played its part in telling a story of love that transcends time.

We are so grateful to the incredible team of creative professionals whose talent and vision brought this dream to life.

Together, they’ve captured the essence of what a wedding at Wivenhoe House can be: a gentle embrace of refined luxury and shared joy.

For now, let the inspiration flow.

T & B | Sun-drenched perfection

T & B's stunning celebration at Wivenhoe House was nothing short of magic.

Drenched in golden hour sunlight, they danced barefoot on our sunken lawn to the smooth sounds of a live saxophonist — a moment that felt lifted straight from a dream.

Captured beautifully by the wildly talented their day was filled with effortless joy and elegant charm.

Wivenhoe House offers the perfect backdrop for a wedding that’s truly your own — whether you envision a relaxed gathering, a garden party, or something more exclusive.

Your day, your way. And it all starts here.
