Deer Park summer shoot

The meandering paths of Deer Park Country House lead to some enchanting locations, from the Italian garden, spilling with fragrant Mediterranean flowers, and the rustic walled garden, where the freshest ingredients are picked for guests' dinner plates, to the summer house, where couples can marry against a backdrop of woodland and wild flowers. Complete with panoramas across the rolling English countryside, it is a breathtakingly picturesque setting ' and the perfect backdrop for an al fresco summer celebration, as this dreamily romantic styled shoot illustrates.

 

 

 

 

 

Inspired by the flower-filled gardens, an abundance of florals and foliage are key to the aesthetic. Everywhere, gorgeous cream blooms sit amidst beds of lush green leaves and trailing vines for maximum impact. The dreamlike tablescape sees silk blossom trees peer over towering floral arrangements, the gold beaded charger plates and tableware shining in the sunlight against the crisp white linen. Beautifully draped chairs and candles bring yet more romance, while the embroidered floral motifs on the linens and shimmering petal accents on the napkins enhance the theme.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sitting atop a vintage dresser and framed with foliage, the cake is pure opulence with its gold leaf details, ornate roses and intricate leaf patterning which brings texture to the creamy tiers. The stationery, meanwhile, is luxurious and timelessly elegant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In keeping with the glamorous and romantic styling, the dresses combine statement silhouettes with modern, playful detailing, from fringed skirts and sheer panels to an all-eyes-on-you ball gown. Dainty jewels, soft waves of auburn hair and, of course, a stunning bouquet make the perfect finishing touches to this summer dream.
