Wedding styling: pears, pearls and sage green

Pears, pearls and a palette of sage green create a timeless elegant aesthetic at Burncoose House



Inspired by the natural elegance of pears and the timeless allure of pearls, this styled shoot exudes understated sophistication. A sage green and white palette sets the tone, enriched with botanical details to create a wedding aesthetic where natural beauty takes centre stage.

Set in the enchanting woodland gardens and light-filled conservatory of Burncoose House in the early days of spring, the Georgian house’s opulent interiors and lush surroundings infuse the scene with a sense of cool drama and decadence.

The tablescape epitomises modern refinement: single-stem floral arrangements are paired with pearl-encrusted pears, geometric and chamberstick ceramic candleholders and minimalist clear glassware. Dinner settings feature white charger plates, silver flatware and olive-green napkins, completing the look. Stationery adorned with delicate botanical illustrations and elegant calligraphy echoes the pared-back look, while a four-tier cake, finished with textured ruffle frosting, serves as a piece of edible art.

The couple embodies fashion-forward sophistication. His open-shirted, pinstripe two-piece suit exudes laidback charm, while her printed organza flute sleeve gown is the perfectly à la mode accompaniment. A second look sees her in a romantic off-the-shoulder crinkle chiffon dress adorned with 3D silk organza flowers – a perfect balance of vintage glamour and modern bridal trends. Together, they deliver a masterclass in modern romance.
