This black-tie St Giles House wedding in Dorset showcases the charm of English countryside celebrations in the summer, with a contemporary and personal design.
Naomi and Scott were one of the kindest couples I've ever had the pleasure to work with. Their positive and caring energy provided the base for everything we achieved together, which we were so very pleased with!
Scott was born and raised in Dorset, which made falling in love with St Giles House even easier for the couple. The gorgeous slash quirky country house wedding venue provided the perfect blend of old detail and new ideas, whilst being private and secluded.
The wedding weekend began with an intimate welcome dinner in the rustic Riding House with its ‘old stables energy’. Food, table details and flowers were kept intentionally simple yet charming. It was such a joy to see everyone coming together ahead of the big day, and notice the little details that we had planned out together for months.
On the morning of their wedding, Naomi and Scott spent time getting ready with friends in such a peaceful and relaxed manner — what more could one ask for.
The wedding day was officially opened with a personal and meaningful symbolic ceremony, which was conducted by the bride’s brother. How lucky we were to have been able to hold this outside in the beautiful gardens of the venue (we love a good plan A (& B).
Post-ceremony saw curated canapés, the family’s favourite Champagne and carefully selected (by the groom himself) beers and ales for those beer and ale connoisseurs around.
Naomi and Scott share a deep passion for art, books and most of all music, which explains the live painter (Dora Lam), dinner amongst books, and not one, not two, but three bands performing throughout the day. There was a little bit of Jazz post-ceremony and soul post-dinner, alongside a late cocktail hour. All complete with live rock classics in the ‘secret’ nightclub of the venue, until the very early hours.
Naomi and Scott’s was a wonderfully warm and initimate English countryside filled with British lighthearness and humour, love and elegance.
