We travel far and wide in this job, and have created a little black book of wedding venues we love to visit on the grounds of the amazing spaces provided for bridal prep. There's a host of different spaces below which all offer something a little different, but are bound to provide some really stunning bridal prep images. Rooms with light, space and plenty of mirrors are our most wished for items! We're easily pleased really, honest!
Upton Barn and Walled Garden - Cullompton, Devon
Click here to view a video tour of their incredible getting ready space. This place really is quite something, It has a salon style set up, but is glamorous and functional for a bridal party with seperate rooms for getting dressed, What's more, it's available all morning.
St Audries Park - West Quantoxhead, West Somerset
This venue has a bridal preparations room, towards the back of the house up a flight of stairs. It's a lovely big room with a sofa and huge mirror, ideal for those getting ready pictures. Usually available for use from 9am.
The onsite accomodation is absolutely out of this world. If you're looking for somewhere for a big family / bridal party to stay and you want to feel like you're in luxury, then this is the place. What's more it has the most boujee getting ready area. Spacious and luxurious and light. Ideal!
What a pretty space. Bright, airy and plenty of windows, it's a win win!
One of the first in the area to build a dedicated getting ready area. Kingscofte Barn, really knew how to keep their suppliers happy. With a salon space for bridal hair and make-up, a seperate dressing room for your modesty and a whole seperate seating area and kitchen for onlookers and feeders... this place has it all.
Usually available for use from 9am on a wedding day.
Eastington Park - Gloucestershire
The Lodge, is a relatively new addition to Eastington Park. It's situated at the entrance to Eastington Park. It sleeps 10 and one of the luxury bedrooms, has a beautiful built in hair and make-up area. See it below...
If you've chosen not to use the Lodge, then you still have the option of the dressing room in the honeymoon suite in the main house. Though this space is usually not available until mid-morning. It is very beautiful.
North Cadbury Court - Somerset
This venue is absolutely stunning. The grounds, the bedrooms, the indoor swimming pool... OMG the most amazing place. The balcony room is the room you're most likely to use for wedding prep. It's a really big space, has big windows and the views of the grounds are gorgeous.
Great Tythe Barn - Tetbury, Gloucestershire
You have a couple of options at Great Tythe barn, the orangery is a lovely big bright space for finishing touches to your wedding outfit and hair and make-up. Or you can use a bedroom in The Tythe House... see below...
Manor By the Lake - Cheltenham, Gloucestershire
Now there are four poster beds, and then there are four poster beds... this one is EPIC! And look at the roll top bath in the bedroom. I can see you and your bridesmaids climbing into that for a photo for sure. Dripping in elegance, this is just one of a few suites they can offer you to get ready in.
Owlpen Manor - Gloucestershire
There's a hair and make-up studio on site next door to the Apple Loft which is where the bride and groom usually stay. See below...
Matara Centre - nr Tetbury, Gloucestershire
Unique, quirky and tranquil. The Honeymoon Lodge, is a lovely space to get ready in.
Brympton House - Somerset
You have 2 gorgeous settings to use here. The prep and pamper suite, which is a lovely little apartment where you can comfortably begin your bridal prep. Then move to the Honeymoon suite in the house late morning for the most incredible bedroom, with accompanying hair and make-up and dressing space. The pictures don't do this space justice.
The Pear Tree Purton - Wiltshire
A purposely designed dressing room, tucked away in the top of the house, away from the hustle and bustle going on below...
Which has captured your heart? Are you going to be getting ready at any of these venues?
Thanks for reading, I hope it's been helpful and a little bit dreamy.
