English Spring Garden Bridal Inspiration with Tea Under the Blossoming Trees

Spring is coming, and it feels closer than ever with this unbelievably romantic bridal inspiration shoot that channels an English spring garden in Pennsylvania! Hope Helmuth Photography chose the The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm for its historic beauty, graceful gardens, and quintessential British elegance, making it the perfect backdrop to this shoot that captures the blooming romance of spring! Southern-inspired dogwood and peony floral arrangements by Winsome Floral, the most stunning garden gazebo ceremony, and a blush gown by Jenny Yoo all come together in this celebration of spring!

A vintage tea set and classical calligraphy imparted an Old World style to this stunning invitation suite by Papertree Studio, while the blooming Southern flowers like peonies and dogwoods nodded to the Southern roots!

The bride’s accessories were all about gold – from thee foil cut metallic leather Harriet Wilde shoes to the tiara inspired headpiece by Untamed Petals!

The vintage arbor on the grounds of The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm became a stunning focal point for the blooming garden ceremony! The Bucks County venue brought the perfect touch of British country gardens to the States, allowing the team to blend historical charm with Southern elegance. Winsome Floral draped the art nouveau-inspired gazebo in flowering dogwood branches to create an organic wedding backdrop that looked as though it could have grown in place!

This lovely shoot kept the focus on all things soft and blooming, starting with the bride’s airy bouquet of peonies, flowering dogwood, cherry blossoms, and ranunculus. The lush blush and white flowers echoed the delicate romance of her delicate pink Jenny Yoo wedding dress!

Hair stylist Ariel Katrina Hair and makeup artist Makeup by Emily Dimant gave the bride a modern princess look, with an elegant updo accented by loosely falling curls and a tiara-inspired headpiece. The peach-toned makeup beautifully complemented the soft shades of the bride’s dress and flowers while giving her the perfect wedding day glow!

The reception set up at The Inn at Barley Sheaf Farm channeled the same blend of Old World elegance and Southern style for the guest tables! A palette of white, pink, and blush was the perfect choice for classical romance, with a white washed barn wood table accented with blush pink napkins and gold cutlery. The subtle patterns on the china added a delicate detail to the airy and romance place setting, with a single dogwood blossom and fresh blackberries finishing off the scene!

This lovely Sweetheart Table could not be more perfectly styled, with taper candles in tall gold holders balancing out the romantic spring flower arrangements!

Park Ave Cake channeled afternoon tea for this lovely wedding cake display! With a vintage cart set under one of the flowering trees on the estate, the backdrop was ideal for a clean white wedding cake topped with sugar anemones for subtle contrast. An antique butterfly tea set in blue and gold added a whimsical charm to the display, with rose petal lollipops designed to be stirred into the tea!
