Contemporary Victoriana at Buxted Park

If you're in the market for stunning wedding inspiration with fabulous florals, dreamy decor, and outstanding outfits, then this one at Buxted Park will definitely do the trick. This contemporary Victoriana editorial is where an opulent Victorian glasshouse meets curated, contemporary luxe. And we're obsessed with every single bit of it. Hosted at Recommended venue Buxted Park Hotel, this beautiful editorial has it all. Those incredible florals dotted throughout the day are courtesy of Recommended supplier Bud and Flower. The bride's two phenomenal, contemporary bridal gowns tied the theme together - and we have Recommended supplier Story Of My Dress to thank for that. Every contemporary editorial shoot as stunning as this deserves equally wonderful stationery, and luckily, Recommended supplier Starchar handled that excellently. Recommended supplier Katie Rogers Photography captured all of the beauty, style, and class in this shoot perfectly, and we are OBSESSED. The genius behind the planning, styling, props, and furniture was Recommended supplier Luna and The Lane.

Buxted park wedding inspiration in a glasshouse with contemporary decor

Silk, organza and pearls within the bridal ensemble offered a delicate, understated, elegance. This was complemented by a sleek modern updo, adorned with pearls. We wanted the bridal look to be effortlessly timeless, with soft natural beauty. We chose our first gown with its contemporary square neckline and puff sleeves paired with a handmade pearl veil. This offered a more classical floating silhouette. Our groom looked sophisticated in a tailor-made tuxedo. The evening look showcased an off-the-shoulder gown with pearl button detailing and a side slit. The handmade pearl earrings and matching pearlescent clutch and shoes completed this chic evening look.

The hanging floral displays and seasonal wedding flower arrangements blend this gorgeous shoot together

Romantic trailing hellebores, clematis, and tulips were in abundance. Using seasonal flowers was of the utmost importance, focusing on using florals that are typically seen within Victorian flower arrangements but presented in a more relaxed and contemporary trailing style. The floral centrepiece was an ornate hanging display of flowers and vines organically cascading to the floor, paired with gold flower urns to create a stunning aisle arch for the ceremony.

There is so much in this shoot that just makes sense. The flowers, the venue, the stationery, the outfits... Every little detail was thoroughly thought through - and that's abundantly clear. If you want the same effect at your wedding, having a wedding organiser or planner might be the way to go. With all those seasonal flowers, we just know the venue was smelling amazing. If you want to smell equally glorious on your big day, choosing the right wedding scent for you is paramount.
