Longstowe Hall, with it's stunning gardens and elegant architecture, provides the perfect backdrop for a spring wedding. As nature awakens and flowers bloom, couples can create a beautiful and romantic atmosphere for their special day.

When planning a spring wedding, choosing a colour palette that reflects the season is essential. Neutral and spring colours can create a soft, fresh, and inviting ambience.

Here are some ideas:

Pale Blush: A soft blush pink can add a romantic touch to the decor.
Lavender: This gentle hue brings a calming effect and pairs beautifully with greens.
Mint Green: A refreshing colour that evokes the feeling of new beginnings.
Soft Beige: Neutral tones can ground the palette and create a sophisticated look.
White and Cream: Classic colours that symbolise purity and elegance, perfect for spring.

Decor Ideas

Incorporating neutral and spring colours into the wedding decor can enhance the natural beauty of Longstowe Hall. Consider the following:

Floral Arrangements: Use seasonal flowers in soft hues, such as peonies, tulips, and daisies, arranged in elegant vases.
Table Settings: Choose table linens in neutral tones, complemented by pastel-coloured napkins and centrepieces.
Lighting: Soft, warm lighting can create a romantic atmosphere. Consider fairy lights or candles for an enchanting effect.
Outdoor Spaces: Utilise the gardens for outdoor ceremonies or receptions, enhancing the natural beauty with minimalistic decor.

Zoe and Chris opted for our stylist set up service to allow them to relax and get ready with their family and friends on their wedding morning.

Our team worked busily in the morning to ensure all of the couples hired props were set up perfectly, living up to the couples dream wedding vision.

Please ensure you discuss this with our film in advance.

With our gorgeous English springs and summer seasons, comes outdoor ceremonies!

We love that unique touches that come with these set ups such as bold floral statement pieces, natural aisles dressed with pastel colours and little individual touches such as these soft pink blankets dressing the back of the delicate iron chairs.
