by admin on April 2, 2012

Relax, you already have searched through hundreds of engagement rings and picked the best one for your significant other and even decided on a destination wedding in Britain. Now that the most challenging part is behind you, the fun begins — choosing exactly where to hold the ceremony. Britain is home to some of the most romantic wedding locations on Earth. Take a look at some of the top venues.

Stoke Park Club

If you’re a fan of rom-coms (romantic comedies for those not up on the lingo), you may recognize the Stoke Park Club as the backdrop for a scene with Renee Zellwegger and Hugh Grant in Bridget Jones’s Diary. In addition to being a wonderful movie setting, the Stoke Park Club makes an amazing wedding venue. This 18th century mansion is surrounded by 350 acres of beautiful parkland, making it a great choice for an outdoor wedding.

St. Moritz Hotel

Book your Cornwall wedding and reception at the St. Moritz Hotel. This venue comes with a modern design and a breathtaking view. The hotel is geared towards private weddings, with a well-trained staff available to meet your every need.

The Priory Barn

For a rustic wedding, you can’t beat the Priory Barn in Hertfordshire. Commissioned in 1541 by King Henry VIII, the barn was built with wood from large local oak trees, cut down during the winter of 1540. Since then, it has been used to host a multitude of special events, including, of course, weddings.

The Walled Garden at Cowdray

Book your springtime outdoor wedding at the Walled Garden at Cowdray. Located right next to the famous Cowdray Ruins, this little garden was discovered in 2001 by Jan Howard. It was originally found hidden among the Cowdray Ruins, a real-life secret garden just waiting to be fixed up. Today, it serves as both a romantic and slightly mysterious wedding venue.

St. Michael’s Parish Church

Part of the Church of Scotland, St. Michael’s Parish Church is located in the heart of beautiful Edinburgh. Built in 1877, this church has a rich and vibrant history. Today, it is an integral part of the Edinburgh community. Although the church is happy to provide wedding services for people outside the Church of Scotland, it does prefer that the bride or groom either live in the area or have some sort of other connection to the church.

Sefton Park Palm House

You don’t need to head south in order to be married under a palm tree! Just book your wedding at the Sefton Park Palm House. One of the largest Victorian greenhouses in the United Kingdom, the Sefton Park Palm House is a great spot for anyone who loves exotic plants. The greenhouse lets in an amazing amount of light, so even if your wedding is held on a cloudy day, it will still have a bright and airy feel about it.

St. Endellion

Anyone familiar with the popular television series Doc Martin will immediately recognize St. Endellion as one of the churches in the fictitious Portwenn. In real life, St. Endellion is actually a part of Truro, which is a short drive from the fishing village of Port Isaac. A short distance from the sea, St. Endellion is surrounded by lush fields and large trees. The ancient church continues to thrive as the years go on. Brides and grooms marrying at St. Endellion will feel confident that their marriages will also stand the test of time.

HMS Belfast

Make your wedding one to be remembered by getting hitched at sea. Designated by the Independent Newspaper as the eighth most popular spot for a wedding, the HMS Belfast provides a unique experience for the entire wedding party. With both the Tower Bridge and the Tower of London in the background, the venue also provides plenty of excellent photo ops.

Ynys-Hir Hall

This wedding venue is popular among both the locals of Wales and out-of-towners from the London area. It was owned by Queen Victoria at one time, but now serves as a popular tourist destination. Ynys-Hir Hall specializes in more intimate weddings, allowing guests to enjoy the beauty of the Hall’s 14 acres of gardens.

by admin on October 24, 2011

Your wedding day is one you’ll always remember, so it’s important that things are exactly as you want them. One detail that you may not think about is what kind of cars will transport the wedding party and your guests. You can always go with a classic, such as a Lincoln Town Car, but today, the possibilities are endless, and there are a number of very trendy cars available that are great for weddings. Depending on the kind of wedding you’re having depends on the type of cars you’ll want to choose. It’s also dependent upon the number of guests you plan on transporting, as some of these trendy cars are better suited for two people plus a driver, while other cars can handle larger groups.

Luxury Cars

Rolls Royce

Get chauffeur driven to your wedding in a luxury Rolls Royce

In recent years, one trendy option has been to rent an expensive car that you wouldn’t normally see at a wedding for your ride off into

the sunset. Check out a luxury car such as a Bentley, a Maserati, a Rolls Royce, an Aston Martin, or even something sporty like a Lamborghini.

Now more and more people are tending to go for limousines as they look great and hold more people. For the price you would pay for a luxury car like a Bentley or Rolls Royce you could get a limousine which has the ability to hold more peope and is more comfortable.

The most popular limousine is:

The Hummer Limo

Take up to 16 people to your wedding in a Hummer limo

Another trendy option for wedding cars is a double-decker stretch Hummer limousine. These Hummers can accommodate up to 18 passengers and are perfect for large groups. Since Hummers are often seen as quite outlandish, they are great for weddings that are less traditional and more focused on fun. They can also be a great option for bachelor and bachelorette parties. Hummers have been used at weddings for quite some time, but the addition of trendy Hummers, such as the double decker stretch Hummer limousine, ensure that this vehicle isa unique option that’s at the forefront of wedding car trends.

VW Beetle

The VW Beetle

For a quirky, unique, but still trendy car for your wedding, consider the Volkswagen Beetle. The Beetle isseen as a very cute and almost whimsical car, and in recent years, its popularity as a wedding car has skyrocketed. You can get one of the new Volkswagen Beetles for your wedding, but it’s also possible to use one of the older, classic versions of the car as well, depending on your personal preference.

Classic Cars

When they say everything old is new again, they couldn’t be more right when referring to trendy wedding cars. Some of today’s biggest trends in wedding cars are convertibles from the 1950s and 1960s. Classic Mustangs, Thunderbirds, Cadillacs, and Bellairs have become extremely trendy options in recent years.
