September/October 2023

 
You’re engaged – congratulations! Whether you’re at the beginning or the end of your wedding planning journey, it can be stressful trying to put everything together. There’s so much to consider, from the venue and theme to the dress and accessories, and so you might be asking yourself, where do I start? Before you start surfing the internet for venues and supplies, sit down together with a cuppa and discuss what you want your wedding day to be. Whatever you decide will have an impact on everything else you do from here on in. Think about your overall vision. Is rustic bliss your vibe, or are you more of a modern chic kind of couple? You may even want to host a festival-style wedding in a field with a temporary structure such as a marquee or tipi for cover. All of these aspects will guide you towards the style of venue you should be researching. Crucial to this process are the budget and guest numbers, as one will very much dictate the other. You may want to invite 300 people, but are you willing and able to fund 300 wedding breakfasts? Be realistic about what you want to spend, settle on a budget, and above all, stick to it.

We’ve created an issue full of planning tips and inspiration to help you streamline the process and create the wedding of your dreams!

Happy planning!

Bryngarw House

Bryngarw House dates back to the 15th century, and it is believed that in 1775, a gentleman named John Popkin gave the house and its grounds to his sister Frances as a wedding present. A symbol of love from the very start, the owners are proud to have transformed Bryngarw House into a beautiful wedding venue almost 250 years later.

Located in the heart of Bryngarw Country Park, there are an array of photo opportunities available, including the golden meadows, never ending woodland, and the iconic ornamental bridge in the stunning oriental garden.

The Traherne Suite is a French antique-style ceremony room flooded with natural light from the floor-to-ceiling windows that can comfortably accommodate 100 of your guests for the ceremony. Your guests can then enjoy a drinks reception and delectable canapés in the conservatory, on the patio, or across the lawn, depending on the weather.

When you tie the knot at Bryngarw House, you will receive complimentary use of two modern dressing rooms on the morning of the wedding and the Honeymoon Suite that evening.
