Eastwell Manor Wedding | Natalie & Tom
If you’re dreaming of an English garden-style wedding in Kent, Natalie and Tom’s celebration at Eastwell Manor is sure to inspire you. This day felt like stepping into a storybook full of laughter and heartfelt moments.
An American Couple’s dream English Garden wedding
Natalie and Tom travelled from the US to create their dream Eastwell Manor wedding. Natalie had a clear vision: timeless English romance with soft florals, relaxed sophistication, and that emotional intimacy. Before the ceremony, they exchanged private vows, giving themselves a quiet, emotional moment away from the crowd. (If you’re shy or introverted, this is such a beautiful way to keep that part of the day sacred.)
Romantic Outdoor Ceremony
Designed by the incredibly talented Freya Jane Weddings, the outdoor ceremony featured a refined garden aesthetic with neutral blooms, trailing greenery, and an aisle lined with white florals leading to Eastwell Manor’s stone fountain.
Chiqas string quartet played as guests gathered, setting a romantic tone against the manicured hedges and soft summer light.
The Dress
Natalie wore a gown by CINQ, the same designer behind Lana Del Rey’s iconic wedding gown. The ethereal silk-organza dress featured delicate spaghetti straps, a softly pleated skirt, and floaty tulle sleeves, creating a perfect balance of effortless femininity and editorial refinement. Her bouquet of hydrangeas, roses, and amaranthus by The Sunday Floral Studio tied the look together beautifully.
The Reception | Gothic Romance Meets English Elegance
The wedding breakfast took place in Eastwell Manor’s grand wood-panelled dining room. Freya Jane transformed the space into a romantic reception filled with taper candles, layered florals, and soft drapery. The ornate ceiling and Elizabethan architecture gave the entire setting a hint of gothic romance, perfectly complementing Natalie’s classic, ethereal aesthetic.
It’s rare when a design concept fits a venue so effortlessly — but this one truly did.
A Joy-Filled Evening
The evening ended with touching father-daughter and mother-son dances, followed by a packed dance floor and endless laughter. The kind of night that reminds you what weddings are really about — joy, connection, and celebrating love surrounded by your people.
