A Little Wedding Wisdom courtesy of Kilver Court!



Kilver Court is more than just a designer shopping village: we’re the perfect wedding venue too! Overlooking the secret gardens we’ve got an array of beautiful rooms and we’re licensed for civil ceremonies. So what better way to celebrate our wedding credentials than with a fair? We’ve invited some of our favourite suppliers along to share their top tips and professional tricks to provide you with inspiration for your special day... but if you can’t wait that long, here’s a few ideas to help you get creative!

Scrap Book
All girls know it’s never, ever too early to start planning your wedding, so why not start collating all your favourite pictures, fabric cuttings, pressed flowers and invitations in a scrap book? We’re always adding to our own at Kilver Court, so we can help you plan a day full of lovely ideas.

Have a pre-wedding shoot
Unless you’re a part time Kate Moss you might not feel entirely natural in front of the camera –  so why not have a pre-wedding shoot? Jessica from Red Rabbit Photography suggest it’s a great way to get to know your photographer and perfect your smile, so you’re relaxed and ready to enjoy yourself on the big day. Plus you’ll have lots more lovely pictures for the family album!

Feel Fabulous
What better excuse to pamper yourself than a wedding?! As well as having a brilliant makeup artist on the day, Jen from the Beauty Loft recommends beginning a detox up to three months before the wedding. Simple things like drinking two litres of water a day, increasing your fish intake and eating lots of fruit and veg (especially avocados!) will help your skin and hair look healthy and radiant.  Jen will be at our wedding fair advising on everything from eyelash extensions to irritable skin, and French manicures to facials.

Weddings
Wedding cakes to taste and secret gardens to explore
Get ready, set, bake!
Has the Great British Bake Off inspired you? Get your family and bridesmaids involved in designing, crafting and of course, tasting cakes! Cake creator Helen suggests trying to link your colour scheme or wedding theme in with your delicious design.

For more ideas be sure to join us on Sunday 27th October, it’s a wonderful opportunity to see the ceremony and reception rooms available at Kilver Court.

July - In the Garden

Gertrude Jekyll - English Rose 
 Summer is finally here and the Kilver Court gardens are testament to how glorious the English Countryside can be at this time of year. The old world beauty and scent of the rose is the star of the garden at the moment, and taking the time to sit and relax surrounded by their scent is what summer has to be all about.

First Signs of Spring at Kilver Court

Kilver Court Gardens have wonderful, contrasting aspects to explore. A large viaduct cradles a rolling lawn and groups of formal conifers add structure to the planting. The parterre and herbaceous borders located at the front of the former Mill building were designed by Roger Saul. 


The gardens look stunning throughout the changing seasons. Spring is a particular favourite where by the less structured, natural aspect of the garden comes to life. A wooded area on the far side of the lake shelters a bed of crocuses. It is a joy to see the first signs of Spring.
