A Pastel Easter Wedding at Tortworth Court: Styled with Our Penelope Collection

On Sunday 5 April 2026, Easter Sunday, The Wedding House styled a real wedding at Tortworth Court in South Gloucestershire, using our Penelope collection. We are a wedding decor hire and venue styling business based in Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire. This is one of around six weddings we have styled at this venue. Here is how the day actually looked, room by room.

Why Penelope suited this wedding

Penelope is our pastel collection, built around pale pinks, lilacs, light blues and delicate ivory tones. Its soft, layered look draws on Regency-era styling, the kind popularised by Bridgerton, and it suited an Easter wedding well. Against the Orangery’s stone and glass, these pale tones read as elegant rather than overpowering. That matters in a room that already has so much character.

The entrance

Guests arrived to a pair of pink Bella Trees framing the Orangery entrance. They gave the bride’s entrance a real sense of occasion without needing anything elaborate around them. This is a good example of a strong single feature doing more work than several smaller pieces spread around a room.

The ceremony

At the front of the Orangery, a broken floral arch in pale pink, lilac, blue and ivory formed the ceremony’s main focal point. Every chair wore ivory chiffon ruffle hoods, finished with small floral picks to tie the look together. Tall plinths topped with pastel flower balls marked the start of the aisle. Low floral arrangements lined the aisle itself, drawing the eye toward the arch.
The result stayed full and layered without inundating the room. This is the balance we usually aim for in the Orangery, since the room’s architecture already carries a lot of visual weight.

Reusing the styling through the day

One of the most useful things about this wedding was how much styling we reused once the ceremony ended.Tortworth Court’s Orangery flows easily between ceremony and reception, which made this possible. The low aisle flowers were moved to dress the top table. The flower balls from the plinths went onto the round guest tables, and the same dressed chairs carried straight through to the wedding breakfast.
This meant a genuinely full look across the whole day, without styling every part of the wedding separately. It is one of the clearest real examples we have of how reusing ceremony pieces can stretch a styling budget at Tortworth Court.

The wedding breakfast

Blush pink napkins carried the Penelope palette through to the tables. It is a small, low-cost detail. It kept the pink tones from the florals present throughout the reception, rather than the look fading once the ceremony pieces were removed.

A finishing touch for the evening

Later in the day, guests used the couple’s Audio Guest Book Hire to leave voice messages. It is a detail that gives couples something to keep long after the day itself. The messages also tend to get more entertaining as the evening goes on.

What this wedding shows about styling the Orangery

Tortworth Court’s Orangery works particularly well with soft, pastel styling. The room already has strong character, so the intention is to enhance it rather than compete with it. The Penelope collection’s softer tones did exactly that here. For more on how we approach this room, see our guide to Tortworth Court Orangery Wedding Styling.
