For the ceremony, we designed a broken floral arch backdrop for their vows. Full of lush greenery and soft white blooms, it created a natural yet classic frame for this special moment. The registrar’s table was styled with matching florals, ensuring that every angle felt cohesive and beautifully thought through. Along the aisle, a delicate meadowscape of foliage and white flowers lined the way.
The couple chose forest green chair sashes, each tied with a simple white ribbon. This subtle detail added depth to the styling while maintaining the overall pared-back, elegant look. It was a lovely nod to the surrounding countryside, while still feeling classic and refined.
Music was provided by talented harpist Christine Palethorpe, whose delicate playing set the tone for a ceremony filled with warmth and intimacy. The atmosphere in the room was truly magical, the kind of quiet beauty that lingers in memory long after the day itself.
Beth & Nathan’s day proved that wedding styling in Derbyshire doesn’t need to be complicated to be impactful. Sometimes, it’s the restrained choices - greenery and white blooms, clean lines, thoughtful accents - that result in the most beautiful effect. Their wedding was intimate and elegantly styled from start to finish.
All of these details were captured beautifully by Picture Essence Photography, whose soft and timeless imagery documented the day in perfect harmony with its aesthetic.
It was an honour to style Beth & Nathan’s wedding at Shottle Hall. If you’re planning your own Derbyshire country house wedding and want styling that feels elegant, natural, and uniquely you, we’d love to bring your vision to life.
