Country Luxe Hampton Manor Wedding in England

February 2, 2019 | Junebug Weddings

Luxurious decor, yard games, a magician, and all the romantic vibes made Bryony and Rob’s Hampton Manor wedding unforgettable! The luxurious interiors of the family-run estate combined with the couple’s elegant yet approachable design were a match made in wedding heaven. Lucy Walker Flowers created lush florals that added color to every corner of both the ceremony and reception spaces, and Save The Date Event Stylist helped bring the casual and the luxurious elements together in perfect harmony to complement the gorgeous venue. We can’t get enough of Bryony’s sparkly Galia Lahav gown and are totally in love with how Katie Ingram Photography captured every angle of this special day!

The Couple:

Bryony and Rob

The Wedding:

Hampton Manor, Coventry, England

I have always been a lover of gospel and soul music and had always dreamt of having live gospel music on my wedding day. Knowing this, during the early stages of our wedding planning, Rob insisted we prioritize our search for a Gospel Choir. It was during this time we came across Gospel Touch and instantly we knew our day wouldn’t be complete without them! On the day they warmed up our guests while they waited for me to come down the aisle to sweet sounds of Bob Marley and Beyonce to name just a few. Rob said the atmosphere was incredible, they left everyone smiling and even eased his nerves. 

The most memorable part of the day for myself was walking down the aisle into a room full of our favourite people. It was a moment I had thought about endlessly during the lead up to our big day and I had felt so nervous about it. Yet, as I headed down the aisle with all eyes on me, everyone had so much emotion and happiness in their eyes that I couldn’t feel nervous. I was arm in arm with my Dad, heading towards Rob, feeling my most beautiful and happier than I could have ever imagined! It suddenly all felt very real in the best possible way. Plus, Rob cried and we all know that’s all that really matters!

From the moment we set foot into Hampton Manor, we knew it was the venue for us. The manor itself is bursting with history, its interiors exude luxury while still feeling comfortable and the family-run feel from the entire team was a joy from our initial meeting right through to the day itself. Plus, the food provided by Peel’s Restaurant is damn good, which was always a huge factor for us!

Our “country luxe” wedding vibe was very much inspired by the venue itself. We wanted a nod to the venues beautiful grounds and location but felt that anything too shabby chic would jar with its luxe interiors and boutique feel. It was a match made in heaven bursting at the sides with pheasant feathers, tweed suits, rich burgundy velvets, and a very sparkly wedding dress!

Zola allows you to upload photos and let guests know exactly where their gift is going. This way, they feel like they’ve contributed to an actual present instead of giving you a bucket o’ cash. And hey, Zola has the lowest cash fund fee in the industry – just a credit card processing fee!

  • Honeymoon Funds
  • Home Fund
  • Puppy Fund
  • Lifetime Supply of Coffee
