Real Wedding: A Beautiful Spring Celebration at Chilston Park

Charlotte and Elliot’s wedding day was the epitome of springtime romance- full of sunshine, joy, and soft seasonal colours. Set in the stunning grounds of Chilston Park Hotel, their April wedding radiated warmth, love and effortless style.

With a fresh and elegant palette of greens and yellows, the day felt perfectly in tune with the season. Everything about their wedding was thoughtfully put together, from the florals by @thelivinghut_wye to their cinnamon bun cake tower by @gilda_bakery – a delicious twist we absolutely adored!

Charlotte looked breathtaking in the Keaton gown by Madi Lane, chosen at Bridal Boutique at Chilham. Crafted from luxurious soft satin, the dress featured a ruched bodice and flattering off-the-shoulder straps, with the added bonus of discreet (but very useful!) pockets- a firm favourite with brides.

Adding a fun and personal touch to her look, Charlotte wore hand-painted trainers by the talented @kokoartlondon – a playful contrast to the timeless elegance of her gown and proof that comfort and style can go hand in hand.

Charlotte shared a few beautiful words about her wedding day:

“The day was absolutely perfect! The venue was gorgeous, everybody looked amazing and the sun was shining on us. It was such a lovely spring day and everything went so well. We honestly had the best time and I wish I could do it all over again.”

She also gave the most heartwarming feedback on her bridal experience with us:

“It was excellent! I was nervous going in to look for dresses at first and didn’t think I would ever decide on the right one. But Carly is such an expert at what she does and put me at ease from the start.
I wanted to try a few different places but I ended up going back to Carly for a second appointment, as I knew she had found me the one.
As with many brides I ended up with a dress I would never have chosen off the hanger. You just need to trust her instincts and she will find you the dress you will fall in love with!
The whole experience was wonderful. Thank you — I will sing your praises and recommend you to everyone I speak to.”
