Free Spirited Bohemian Luxe Wedding Ideas
So this little beauty is a delightful blast from the past dating back to late 2019!
Before my family and I purchased The Kedleston Country House in March 2020 - talk about perfect timing, as the sale wrapped up less than a week before the first Covid-19 lockdowd - I had the pleasure of being involved with this styled photoshoot. The shoot was beautifully designed by the talented team at Perfect Day Chairs.
I remember being in awe watching the talented team transform The Kedleston into a free-spirited, bohemian dream. It was such an exciting time, imagining our new life at The Kedleston and all of the dreamy weddings we had planned but sadly, Covid quickly turned this styled photoshoot into a distant memory.
Now, five years later, seeing this pop up on my Facebook timeline brought back so many happy feelings. It’s a beautiful reminder of those early days and how far we have come as a wedding venue.
Originally featured on Whimsical Wonderland Weddings, this styled shoot still feels modern and fresh. Its timeless look combines natural elements, mismatched furniture, bold floral arrangements, earthy colours, layered fabrics, and soft lighting. The style meshes perfectly with current wedding trends and styles and I am so here for it!
I hope you love this bohemian dream as much as I do.

“Our bridal model for the day had a classic English Rose look, but we wanted to really strip that back and make it a little less polished. We wanted to portray her as free-spirited; a fun-loving bride who has been given free reign over the venue and its countryside grounds.”
“The Kedleston Country House is the embodiment of the “quintessentially British” wedding venue, with high ceilings, Georgian aesthetics and views of the Derbyshire countryside; it lent itself perfectly as the backdrop for this shoot, which was captured beautifully by Ellie of EKR Pictures.”
“Wearing bespoke gowns from Kula Tsurdiu, the tulle and lace framed her figure beautifully, whilst Sophie Downing created two natural makeup looks and Vicki Marriott crafted both hairstyles, showcasing undone soft curls, and a face-framing up-do. Silver Sixpence provided flower crowns for the bridal model and flower girl, Madison.”
“The styling concept was headed up by Jenny of Perfect Day, who teamed up with Silver Sixpence Florist to use blush pinks and copper as the colour foundations, geometric shapes to accentuate details and adding lashings of greenery and ivory tones to the floral displays to create a romantic setting.”
“Soft, sheer fabrics and candles on the tables were combined with the sunshine streaming in from the high set windows to set the scene for a ceremony in the Dining Room, whilst the Orangery was set up for a traditional wedding breakfast.”
“Decorated farmhouse tables were laid out across the room, with the tablespace featuring a mixture of floral displays, modern geometric elements and candles, along with stationery from Tilly Fudge.”
