Nestled in the heart of Yorkshire, Priory Cottages offers the perfect backdrop for a romantic autumn wedding. With its honey-coloured stone walls, rustic charm, and timeless elegance, it’s no wonder couples fall in love with this venue. Styled to perfection by WOW Events, this shoot blends soft neutral tones, luxe textures, and modern stationery details — creating a seamless vision for couples seeking an elegant, cozy celebration.
From the carefully curated wedding invitations to the layered menus and delicate place cards, this wedding design is all about thoughtful details that bring your entire wedding look together.
Stationery That Sets the Tone
The stationery suite in this shoot is effortlessly elegant, featuring minimalist wedding invitations printed on ivory and creamy mist cardstocks with modern serif fonts paired with delicate handwritten-style accents. The palette sticks to soft ivory and muted taupe, perfectly complementing the earthy tones of the season and the venue’s rustic charm.
By keeping the designs clean and contemporary, the stationery blends seamlessly with the rest of the décor — from the knotted linen napkins to the woven chargers and subtle floral styling. It’s understated sophistication at its finest.
Menus and Place Cards Styled to Perfection
One of the highlights of this setup is the vertical wedding menus from Lilac & White wedding stationery, elegantly placed on each guest’s plate. Styled with woven placemats, luxurious table linens, and gold cutlery, they elevate the entire tablescape. The menus are paired with soft knotted napkins and delicate place cards, creating a layered, textured look that feels both modern and inviting.
Styling tip: Personalise your menus by adding each guest’s name at the top — doubling them up as place cards for a chic, practical touch.
Tablescapes and Grazing Tables That Inspire
The reception styling makes full use of texture and warmth. Ivory blooms, terracotta vases, and wooden table numbers add natural, earthy elements, while crystal glassware and gold flatware bring a sense of luxury.
And let’s not forget the grazing table — an autumnal feast filled with seasonal delights and designed to look as good as it tastes with hints of autumnal elements such as the golden pumpkin. Perfect for welcoming guests or as a late-night treat, grazing tables are a growing trend that beautifully complements a rustic-luxe aesthetic like this one.

The venue itself plays a starring role. With its historic stone walls, charming courtyard, and warm, intimate interiors, Priory Cottages is the perfect canvas for this refined autumn styling.
