Ashley & Jonathan’s Cowdray House Wedding with colourful florals and dreamy candle light.
A symphony of colours and candlelight woven throughout every detail of decor for Ashley and Jonathan at the stunning Cowdray House last month!
Nestled amidst the rolling hills of the South Downs National Park Cowdray House has beautiful scenery everywhere you turn and offered a stunning backdrop for Ashley & Jonathan’s fairytale wedding. I loved the styling of this Cowdray House wedding, it was so full of colour and had such gorgeous flowers. The wedding breakfast table in a cross shape was just amazing! The team over at Quintessential Weddings did a wonderful job in creating an exquisite atmosphere. It was a wonderful day to be a part of and it was a pleasure to shoot alongside the lovely Camilla Arnhold Photography again.

The Charm of Cowdray House.
Nestled in the picturesque West Sussex countryside, Cowdray House is a spectacular country house wedding venue set in beautiful grounds. Its rich history, breathtaking gardens and exquisite architecture provided the perfect backdrop for Ashley and Jonathans love story. Cowdray House is the kind of place that makes “I do” feel truly special. Cowdray House boasts a rich history dating back to the 16th century, making it a wonderful choice for couples seeking a venue with character and story. The beautifully restored interiors are a blend of traditional and contemporary styles, which offered a unique setting for both Ashley & Jonathans ceremony and reception. Imagine exchanging vows in the grand hall, then clinking champagne flutes with your friends and family in one of the chic rooms and gardens that Cowdray House offers?!
One of the highlights of Cowdray House is its expansive grounds, from the manicured gardens to the tranquil ponds and rolling hills, there’s no shortage of stunning locations for timeless wedding photography shots.

Flower-Lined Aisle in Cowdray House’s Spectacular Hall.
Ashley & Jonathan’s wedding ceremony was held inside in Buck Hall. With its striking vaulted ceilings and stained glass windows it is such a stunning space for a wedding ceremony and to have your wedding breakfast in too. It’s very grand but also has a warm and welcoming feel. The team from This Floral Life had outdone themselves, creating a breathtaking flower arrangement that adorned the aisle and the fireplace. Ashley & Jonathan exchanged vows under a beautiful decorated flower arch next to the candle lit fireplace.

One of the most magical aspects of Cowdray House is its ability to create an enchanting atmosphere that truly enhances the wedding experience. As the sun set, the ceremony hall venue transformed into a romantic haven for Ashley and Jonathans wedding breakfast. Guests were seated in the most spectacular cross table setting lit by candles and adorned by amazing flower arrangements. The couple shared their first dance under a canopy of twinkling candle light, surrounded by their friends and family.
