Each season is truly magical here at Eshott Hall<\/a>, especially in the summertime, the House comes into its own, with its botanical signature\u2026. cascades of lilac wisteria, tumbling down its honey stone walls, make it perhaps one of the most photogenic country house venues in the North. The heady fragrance of English garden roses contributes to the sensual delight of this garden. Beyond the immaculate, striped lawns and walled kitchen garden is a Victorian fernery, with its wrought iron gazebo, with ancient woodlands wrapped around it, carpeted by lush magenta rhododendrons. In our campaign, \u2018In a Class of its Own\u2019, the focus is placed upon the timeless and enchanting nature of this country venue, Eshott Hall<\/a>. Captured by one of the North East\u2019s most acclaimed photographers, Sean Elliott<\/a>, stills unfold like scenes from a vintage film, evoking halcyon days spent languishing on the lawn, sipping gin cocktails, perhaps even a game of tennis or croquet?<\/p>\n

Floristry and styling was courtesy of Charlotte Harris, Creative Director of The Finishing Touch Company. Inspired by the theme, Charlotte selected wild flowers including peonies, veronica, viburnum, jasmine, cow parsley, flowering mint, astilbe, blushing bride, nigella, agapanthus and Mont rose to create a loose, hand-tie bouquet, with flowing ribbons of sage velvet, and lilac and silver satin, and a groom\u2019s floral buttonhole with pheasant feather detail. The chaise longue room scene particularly captures those perfect summer days, with the lace-delicate white wisteria backdrop, enhanced with a vintage collection of amethyst crystals, cut glass and decorative china, in hues inspired by the garden\u2019s blooms in delicate ivory, dusty pink, purple, lime and dark green tones. Sensual textures of velvet and sheepskin add to the opulence.<\/p>\n

Hanging hoops bedecked with delphiniums and lilac Limonium, with other flowers too from the wild flower selection decorate the rattan seat pod beneath the cypress tree, continue the colour palette, whilst symbolising eternity and lasting love. Wizz, the unashamedly regal Afghan hound stole the show, displaying impeccable manners throughout the shoot, he was very much at home in this elegant setting. Later in the day, we gravitate to the library, with its gentleman\u2019s club ambience, antique leather chairs, burgundy red d\u00e9cor and decorative open fireplace.<\/p>\n
