Paige and Mark married on one of the hottest days of June at Orange Grove Hotel & Gardens in Coldeast, Sarisbury Green, Hampshire. Orange Grove is a restored Victorian manor set in nine acres between Southampton and Portsmouth, and it looked its best under clear blue skies.
Black Tie at Coldeast Mansion
This was a big bridal party, and it looked the part. Mark and his groomsmen wore classic tuxedos with bow ties. To match, the bridesmaids all wore black, and next to Paige's off-the-shoulder white gown the whole group looked amazing in front of the honey-coloured stone of the mansion. There was plenty of fun between the formal shots too. The groomsmen lifted Mark shoulder-high on the lawn, the bridesmaids took a sunglasses selfie with Paige, and Mark ended up lying on the drive at her feet.
Confetti, Sunshine and Portraits at Orange Grove
After the ceremony, Paige and Mark came out under a cloud of white confetti. Then we took them round the grounds for portraits. The pillared portico, the palms in the gardens and the grand Victorian front of the house made great backdrops. In the heat, the shady corners were very welcome!
A Champagne Celebration
To start the celebrations, Paige and Mark poured a champagne tower together, and Paige had the first glass.
Thank you, Paige and Mark, for having us. If you're planning a wedding at Orange Grove Hotel & Gardens, we'd love to hear from you.
