Today's editorial feature took place at one of England's most exclusive, historic private homes - Somerley, on the edge of the New Forest National Park. Home to rolling hills of heather, wild ponies and the inspiration behind this team's fall-inspired photoshoot.

This region of the UK is home to not only some of the country's most exciting wedding suppliers but also incredible designers, and so, it was important to the team to feature the handmade work of as many of them as possible. Within these images you will find bespoke bridal accessories - namely bridal chokers, a hot new trend - from Ashley Wild Bridal and an epic headdress thanks to renowned ethical florist The Wild Fox.

The house contains many artefacts from across the globe, collected by the Lords and Ladies who have called Somerley home for hundreds of years. So, inspiration also came from corners of Imperial Britain and the Ottoman Empire. Rich golden tones mix with bohemian, travel-inspired details and fitting textile backdrops came courtesy of two British textile designers, Claire Gaudion and Charlotte Gaisford.
