A Little Early Autumn Magic - September Wedding
Laura & Ben, September 2024
Butley Priory, Suffolk
As the golden hues of early autumn began to whisper their arrival, Laura and Ben tied the knot on a glorious September day at the breathtaking Butley Priory in Suffolk. With the sun casting a warm glow over the historic venue, their wedding day was nothing short of magical - an intimate celebration filled with love, laughter, and exquisite floral beauty.
The couple chose a soft yet striking colour palette that wove effortlessly through every detail of their special day. Dusky pinks, terracotta, deep burgundy, fresh greens, and soft peach tones complemented the natural beauty of their surroundings while harmonizing beautifully with the bridesmaid dresses.
Laura was a vision of elegance, radiating pure joy as she held her bouquet with anticipation. Her classic white dress featured a modern yet timeless design, paired beautifully with a delicate pearl-dotted veil that added a touch of romance. The soft natural lighting of the venue perfectly complemented her warm, glowing look, making every moment even more magical. Ben's suit was effortlessly elegant with his velvet jacket adding a touch of texture and luxury, perfectly suited to the historic setting of Butley Priory. Paired with a crisp white shirt, a sleek black bow tie, and a delicate boutonnière featuring a soft dusky pink bloom, his look was both timeless and refined. The contrast of his dark attire against the warm, golden hues of the wedding décor and florals made for a strikingly elegant aesthetic.
Flowers played a central role in creating the romantic, early autumn atmosphere. Laura’s bouquet was a breathtaking composition of lush roses, delicate asters, bold dahlias, and the unique charm of cherry caramel phlox. The warm hues of dusky pink, terracotta, and apricot blended harmoniously, perfectly reflecting the seasonal charm. A soft blush ribbon elegantly tied the bouquet together, adding a finishing touch of effortless beauty.
Adding a heartfelt DIY element to their wedding, Laura and Ben involved family and friends in creating their own table arrangements. They purchased buckets of flowers and spent time together arranging them, adding a deeply personal and meaningful touch to their décor. This not only brought an extra layer of joy and togetherness to the day but also showcased their creativity and love for natural beauty.
The stunning backdrop of Butley Priory combined with the golden September sunshine and the couple’s thoughtful details, created an unforgettable celebration of their journey together.
