Traditional + Glamorous English Country Wedding

The combo of ingredients that makeup this one-of-a-kind day result in a truly beautiful wedding ‘recipe’. Cobblestone streets, quintessential English character, a gray and orange decked town hall, vintage sparkle and tradition galore… like no other fete we’ve ever set our sights on and that’s why we love it so. Jacob and Pauline Photography stood by this couple’s side through every special moment—see it all here.

From Jacob and Pauline PhotographyPolly and Chris chose to get married in a quintessentially lovely town called Rye. Thatched cottage and cobbled streets set the theme of their elegant day. The wedding was held in Rye Town Hall, a gorgeous space decked in greys and orange tones. Polly wore a vintage styled twenties gown with a beaded headdress and minimal veil. She paired the dress with a fur stole, and country-inspired white poppy and rose bouquet.

Once Chris and Polly has said their vows and committed their lives to each other they carried on with tradition once again and had the Master of Ceremonies ring them into the reception venue at The George Hotel. Cries that Polly and Chris were married echoed down the streets! It was such a lovely touch for the couple, as well as their friends and family.

The venue was lit by candles and dressed in whites and ivory tones, and the cake… what a spectacle of chocolate! Each guest had chocolates as wedding favours too, and enjoyed a really relaxed meal together. Although Polly and Chris wanted an traditionally country English wedding, which was evident in the flowers, favours and formalwear, it was a very relaxed day. There wasn’t a strict schedule to follow and no one was worried about it being a Perfect Day. Instead, they focused on having fun with their loved ones.

One thing that helped is that Polly and Chris chose to have an engagement shoot before the big day. This helped them relax on their wedding, and meant we could get some really quite touching shots of them both.
