Inside Lana & Travis’ Vogue‑Featured Wedding

Inside Lana & TRAVIS' Vogue‑FeatureD Wedding

Where editorial beauty meets heartfelt celebration

When a wedding is chosen by Vogue, it becomes more than a moment — it becomes a story. A story of style, emotion, atmosphere, and the kind of effortless elegance that defines modern romance. Lana & Travis’s celebration at The Old Hall Ely, recently featured by Vogue, is exactly that: a wedding that felt cinematic from the first look to the final dance, unfolding across our house and grounds with a quiet, confident sense of luxury.

For us, it was an honour to host a day that so beautifully reflects what The Old Hall Ely is known for: timeless English charm, editorial‑grade scenery, and an experience that feels both intimate and iconic.

A Setting Made for Vogue

The morning began with soft light spilling across the gardens, the lake perfectly still, and the house standing in its signature honey‑toned glow. It’s the kind of natural beauty that requires no staging — a backdrop that elevates every photograph and every moment.

As guests arrived, the atmosphere felt warm and anticipatory. Lana & Travis had curated a celebration that balanced modern refinement with the romance of the countryside. Their palette, their florals, their styling — everything felt intentional, elegant, and deeply personal.

It was the kind of aesthetic harmony that Vogue readers instantly recognise.

 

Fashion That Deserved the Spotlight

Lana’s bridal look was a standout feature in Vogue’s coverage — a gown that moved with sculptural grace, capturing light and emotion in equal measure. Her styling was contemporary yet timeless, the perfect complement to the architecture and mood of the house.

Travis’s tailoring brought a sharp, confident contrast — clean lines, impeccable fit, and a presence that matched the day’s elevated tone.

Together, they created a visual story that felt editorial without ever losing its authenticity.

As the sun dipped behind the fields, the celebration shifted into something vibrant and full of life. Candlelit tables, laughter echoing across the terrace, and a dance floor that quickly became a glamorous blur of movement and joy.

It was a celebration that felt alive — the perfect blend of elegance and energy.

And it’s exactly why Vogue chose to tell their story.

The Biggest Wedding Trend of 2024

Micro Weddings - The Biggest Trend of 2024

Micro Weddings have been the trend taking the wedding scene by storm in 2024, with an increasing amount of couples opting for a smaller ceremony.

Micro Weddings have always been around and their popularity somewhat recircled around Covid restrictions limiting attendance to many events and gatherings. 

Since then, however, their appeal has only continued to grow with couples carefully curating their guest lists and tailoring a very intimate experience for their special day.

What is a Micro Wedding?

A Micro Wedding tends to carry most, if not all, of the same features as a Classic Wedding – just on a smaller scale. This means typical suppliers from florists, photographers and entertainers are still present for the special day, but in a way that compliments a smaller affair.

Micro Weddings can vary from a maximum of 20 to 80 guests, depending on the venue and their specific requirements or packages. These numbers provide an intimate setting regardless of whether you opt for an indoor or outdoor ceremony. 

Why Choose a Micro Wedding?

A Micro Wedding is perfect for those only wishing to marry with their nearest and dearest. With a wedding party of figures mentioned above, this means only the people closest to you get to share your special day in a unique way.

Often couples can struggle with where to draw the line when inviting distant connections and offering plus ones to their primary guests. Micro Weddings eliminate this stress and expectation for couples, making the planning process feel lighter from the get go.

Micro Weddings can naturally also be suitable for couples with a smaller budget, but this isn’t the leading reason couples are choosing to go mini.

Micro Weddings are specially curated to cater to a smaller audience. This means no big empty rooms at a venue, no lack of atmosphere and no underwhelming wedding photos. Every supplier from the venue to the content creators know exactly how to execute your day in a way that will leave you looking back on nothing but the finer details and memorable touches.

Intimate Weddings at The Old Hall Ely

This summer we launched our Intimate Weddings package – The Old Hall Ely’s very own Micro Wedding experience. 

Our Intimate Weddings package has been specially developed to offer couples the opportunity to experience The Old Hall Ely in a unique way. Our Intimate Weddings package starts from a minimum of 20 adult guests, with pricing options for up to a maximum of 80 ceremony guests.

We have two dedicated indoor spaces for Intimate Weddings that aren’t available for our larger Classic Weddings. This allows our couples to utilise some of our cosiest spots that boast lots of Cambridgeshire Country House charm. The other difference when you pick our Intimate Wedding Package is that your wedding breakfast will be held in The Orangery, instead of our Marquee like as part of our Classic Package.

Autumn and Winter

During autumn and winter, The Main Hall and The Sitting Room are two inviting spaces that carry a home-away-from-home feel with personal touches and warm lighting throughout. 

Both rooms have grand open fireplaces and comfortable furnishings for all to enjoy.

Autumn brings some vibrant colours to our gardens, offering a pleasant seasonal stroll through through our grounds. During the festive season, our venue is decked out with some of the most impressive decor, and no less than 20 Christmas trees!

Indoor Ceremony Spaces for Intimate Weddings at The Old Hall Ely

Spring and Summer

 

During spring and summer, our two indoor ceremony spaces are still available for those with a preference to marry indoors, or in case the weather takes a wet or windy approach.
