Based in London and juggling demanding careers, Georgia & Olly knew they wanted support when it came to planning their dream wedding. Over the course of two years working together, their vision became clear: a laid‑back yet elegant celebration that felt relaxed, joyful and effortlessly polished.
They chose the Cotswolds as the location for their wedding, easily accessible for family and friends travelling from across the UK and beyond. The first step was finding their dream venue and knowing what they didn’t want made the search refreshingly focused. Drawn to manor houses with strong architectural character, they settled on Elmore Court in Gloucestershire – a Grade II‑listed stately home dating back to the 1700s. Set within stunning grounds, it offered the perfect backdrop for a celebration that felt effortlessly luxurious.
From the outset, our focus was on creating a day that felt seamless and considered, while still allowing the creative details to shine. Inspired by the colours of an Aperol Spritz, we worked closely with the brilliant Corky & Prince Floral Design to develop a palette built around a rich coral hero hue, softened with peach and ivory, and grounded with deeper orange tones for contrast.
The overall effect was warm, layered and sun‑soaked – bold enough to feel modern, yet timeless against the historic backdrop.
Florals That Set the Tone
Georgia’s bridal bouquet was designed as a modern fusion arrangement, combining bold blooms with a natural, trailing softness. Featuring Coral Sunset peonies, peach roses, geums and spray roses, finished with cascading jasmine tendrils, it complemented her off‑the‑shoulder Madi Lane gown beautifully – romantic, confident and entirely her.
Each of the bridesmaids chose their own dresses within the colour palette, creating a look that felt personal and relaxed rather than overly styled. The mix of prints, textures and tones worked effortlessly together, enhanced by contemporary bridesmaids’ bouquets featuring peonies and roses.
An Outdoor Ceremony with Impact
The ceremony took place in the Walled Garden, with an aisle lined with peonies, roses and flowing ribbons, creating a softly dramatic approach. A broken floral arch framed Georgia & Olly as they exchanged vows, a striking statement that still felt organic and perfectly in keeping with the setting.
Florals continued throughout the day, appearing on signage and in meadow‑style arrangements to create cohesion and flow across each space. The atmosphere felt intentional, joyful and beautifully understated.
A string quartet played during the ceremony, setting the tone for a refined yet relaxed celebration.
An Alfresco Canapé Reception
Following the ceremony, guests moved to another part of the estate to enjoy Champagne and canapés, taking in the surroundings and soaking up the relaxed summer atmosphere.
Dining in the Gillyflower
For the wedding breakfast, celebrations moved into the Gillyflower, where three long banqueting tables and a classic top table created a convivial, relaxed dining experience. Table styling featured clusters of delicate bud vases paired with slim taper candles in a vibrant raspberry pink, adding warmth and rhythm to the space.
In a thoughtful reuse of florals, meadow arrangements from the ceremony aisle were repurposed as a runner across the front of the top table. Behind Georgia & Olly, an ombré curtain of fresh flowers, hand‑sewn by the Corky & Prince team, formed a beautiful focal backdrop, adding texture and colour without overwhelming the room.
It was this confident use of colour and relaxed luxury styling that caught the attention of US wedding platform Wedding Chicks, who featured the wedding as part of their international Real Weddings collection and shared it across their social channels. Known for spotlighting celebrations that feel design‑led yet unforced, their coverage highlighted the effortless blend of statement florals and refined elegance – proof that thoughtful planning and clear vision resonate well beyond the day itself.
Signature Cocktails, Street Food & a Romantic First Dance
As the celebrations continued, guests enjoyed signature cocktails, Margaritas and Mojitos, alongside tacos served from a street‑food truck, adding a playful, informal touch to the evening. Georgia & Olly’s first dance to “Until I Found You”, was a romantic moment that perfectly reflected the mood of the day.
A Calm, Considered Planning Experience
Behind the scenes, every detail was carefully managed so Georgia & Olly could enjoy their wedding exactly as it should be – fully present, relaxed and free from logistics.
