If you're planning a wedding at Hopton Court Estate, this Shropshire celebration will give you plenty of inspiration. From the dreamlike orangery ceremony to handmade details and Scottish touches, every part of the day felt intentional and heartfelt.
A Dreamy Day at Hopton Court Estate
When you step into a wedding like Poppy and Ben’s, you realize pretty quickly you’re in for something truly special. Held at the beautiful Hopton Court Estate, a gem tucked away between Ludlow and Kidderminster, the day was a gorgeous blend of elegance and personal touches.
Scottish Traditions and Citrus Themes
They chose the estate’s orangery for their ceremony, and honestly, it was like something straight out of a dream with tons of natural light, a warm atmosphere, and that feeling that you’re in a place where every corner has a story. Poppy’s Scottish heritage brought a lovely layer of tradition, with kilts, bagpipes, and all those little touches that made the day feel like a heartfelt nod to their roots. There was even a fun, citrusy theme running through the day… yes, we’re talking about oranges, the fruit! It added this bright, cheerful vibe to the whole celebration.
Handcrafted Details and Timeless Elegance
Every detail felt hand-chosen and meaningful. They had an incredible spread from Honey and Walnut Grazing caterers, and the whole vibe was one of warmth and togetherness. Poppy wore a stunning vintage dress from Ashwell & Co vintage bridal shop, paired with a 1920s veil, and you could just feel the timeless elegance in the air. Her Mum did the flowers by hand, and Poppy did her own makeup, which just shows how personal everything was.
A Shropshire Wedding to Remember
In the end, this wedding was exactly what you’d hope for if you’re dreaming of a Shropshire celebration, it was heartfelt, unique, and full of those moments that make for truly unforgettable photos. It’s the kind of day that reminds you why capturing weddings in a place like this is such a joy. And if you’re searching for a Shropshire wedding photographer who loves telling these kinds of stories, well, you’ve found the right place.
One quote from the day really stuck with me: “All our family and friends in one room together, worlds colliding in the best way.” And that’s exactly what it felt like… just pure joy and connection.
