Nestled amidst the centre of Exeter, the red brick walls of St Nicholas Priory, the city’s oldest building, are a striking sight. Set foot inside the 900-year-old medieval priory turned Tudor home and you’ll be immersed in a captivating air of history and romance, perfect for a memorable elopement or intimate wedding.
Complete with pretty grounds and a plethora of original features, from the stained glass windows to a Tudor rose fireplace, this styled shoot illustrates the romantic potential of a wedding in this extraordinary setting. An all-white palette lends a luxe and elegant mood, contrasting beautifully with the textures of the historic walls. Sumptuous arrangements of crisp blooms – including orchids, hydrangea, gerberas and sprinkles of gypsophila – line the table and frame the fireplace.
Paired with a simple bouquet of orchids and delicate pearl jewellery, the clean lines of the bridal gowns capture the aesthetic perfectly – the epitome of a modern yet timelessly beautiful wedding here in Exeter’s historic heart.
