A Pylewell Park Wedding Amidst the New Forest Splendour

As I drove through the enchanting New Forest on a perfect spring day in May, I couldn't help but feel excited for Robyn and Edward's country house wedding at Pylewell Park. The countryside was alive with wild horses roaming, and people were out enjoying the warm sun. As I made my way up the winding driveway, the breathtaking Grade II listed house came into view, giving me a taste of the splendor that awaited at this incredible wedding venue..

I climbed the stairs to find Robyn surrounded by her mum and bridesmaids in a posh suite. The room was massive, with ceilings that seemed to touch the sky and windows that framed a perfect view of the gardens stretching out below. I could see Edward and his best men playing rugby on the lawn before getting ready for the wedding ceremony.

‍

In the marquee, final touches were being added for the wedding breakfast. Soft pastel flowers created a beautiful setting for the celebrations. I captured Robyn putting on her flowing Suzanne Neville dress, which suited her perfectly. Downstairs, her father waited in the grand entrance hall for their emotional first look before leaving for the ceremony.

‍

The wedding ceremony took place at St John's Church in Boldre, a charming setting surrounded by May blooms. Edward looked nervous but ready as Robyn walked down the aisle. After a sweet ceremony, the couple exited to a shower of confetti, with the page boy throwing the last bits as they left for Pylewell Park.

‍

Everyone gathered on the lawn for drinks, seeking refuge from the sun under a giant old oak tree. The air was filled with chatter and laughter, with 'The Wandering Hands' providing a perfect soundtrack to the moment. After some group photos, I explored the acres of parkland with Robyn and Edward, using the colorful flowers and historic architecture for their portraits.

‍

Inside the marquee, the couple made a grand entrance to cheering guests. The wedding breakfast was filled with laughter, great food, and heartfelt speeches. The lively atmosphere hinted at the party to come, and "The Ambassadors" band delivered the perfect mix of soul and party tunes.

‍

As the sun began to set, I took Robyn and Edward for some golden hour photos. The front of Pylewell Park provided a stunning backdrop as the sky turned amber. Back in the marquee, everyone danced the night away.

‍

Exhausted but happy, I drove back through the New Forest, thrilled to have discovered such a fantastic venue for weddings and events so close to home. The Pylewell team had done an outstanding job throughout the wedding day. I was already looking forward to day two of the celebrations - a relaxed BBQ and drinks in Lymington to help soothe any sore heads!
