A Refined Garden Celebration at Middleton Lodge Fig House

Photographed by Phoebe Lenderyou

There’s something timeless about a wedding at Middleton Lodge—the kind of setting where modern style and natural beauty exist in perfect balance. For this celebration, photographed by Phoebe Lenderyou, the day unfolded with a quiet sophistication that allowed every moment, and every detail, to feel intentional yet effortless.

The bride’s look was pared-back and striking: a structured gown with clean lines, paired with white slingback heels, pearl accents, and a soft half-up hairstyle. It was the kind of bridal style that resonates with today’s modern bride—minimal, unfussy, yet undeniably romantic. Even the morning details—delicate jewellery, a statement fragrance, and a sleek clutch—were considered with a refined sense of simplicity.

In true British fashion, the weather offered its own dramatic flair. Clear umbrellas became a chic accessory for both bride and bridesmaids, only adding to the atmosphere of the day. As the couple walked through the gardens of the estate, the soft light and fresh greenery created an almost cinematic backdrop. These outdoor moments are what make UK wedding venues like Middleton Lodge so distinctive, where nature plays a role in shaping the story.

The reception carried the same understated elegance. Tables were dressed with crisp linens, white blooms, and soft candlelight—a tablescape that felt modern yet timeless. Every element of the setting mirrored the couple’s style: uncomplicated, refined, and deeply in tune with the surroundings. It was the kind of design that effortlessly translates across seasons, proving that simplicity often makes the strongest statement.
