A Dream Wedding at Clevedon Hall: A Three-Day Celebration of Love

When it came to choosing the perfect venue for their wedding, Clevedon Hall immediately stole the hearts of this couple. They knew that this stunning estate, with its pristine grounds, magnificent architecture, and luxurious rooms, would be the ultimate backdrop for their three-day celebration of love. With endless spaces to explore, both indoors and out, Clevedon Hall provided the versatility they needed for their unique and unforgettable event.

The couple felt reassured by the exceptional expertise of Lauren, their wedding planner, who understood their vision and promised to bring their wedding dreams to life.

A Three-Day Extravaganza

With many of their guests travelling from abroad, the couple wanted to make the most of their time together by hosting a three-day wedding celebration. The festivities began with a relaxed welcome dinner the night before the wedding, allowing everyone to settle in and catch up. This intimate gathering set the tone for the rest of the weekend.

The wedding day itself was filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments, but the celebrations didn’t end there. The couple hosted a farewell brunch the day after the wedding, giving them the opportunity to spend even more quality time with their family and friends. This extended celebration made their wedding weekend feel like a dream come true.

A Blend of Cultures and Traditions

The couple's wedding was a true reflection of their personalities and heritage. With the groom being English and the bride being French, they seamlessly blended both cultures into their big day. Their ceremony was bilingual, with two officiants—one speaking French and the other English—and they made their vows even more meaningful by reading them in each other’s native languages.

To further emphasise the blend of cultures, their guests paired up, with French guests translating for English guests during the speeches. This sense of unity and inclusivity made the day even more special. The French influence didn’t stop there—the reception featured exquisite French wines, cuisine, and an impressive gold-covered chocolate Eiffel Tower as part of the dessert buffet.

Music was another harmonious blend, with a mix of French and English songs playing throughout the festivities. Instead of a traditional first dance, the couple opted for a last dance to a song sung in both languages, a perfect ending to their extraordinary celebration.

Elegant Styling and Personal Touches

The couple’s June wedding was a celebration of timeless elegance and romance. Their favourite flower, the peony, was in full bloom, and the bride's bouquet featured a stunning all-white arrangement of this classic flower. The colour palette for the day included soft shades of white, peachy orange, dark pink, and light pink, accented with touches of gold. Minimal greenery allowed the vibrant floral arrangements to pop, bringing the venue to life with beauty and charm.

Every detail of the day was carefully considered to make the event both unique and personal. From custom-made biscuits with the couple's initials to handwritten welcome notes in each guest's room, the thoughtful touches didn’t go unnoticed.

They also added playful elements, such as chocolates with their picture printed on them and custom drink toppers featuring their wedding date. A painting of the wedding scene was displayed for guests to admire, further enhancing the personalised atmosphere.

The floral arrangements were a true highlight of the day. The couple devoted a significant portion of their budget to ensuring that each space was filled with breathtaking blooms, creating a "wow" moment for their guests. These flowers, combined with Clevedon Hall’s natural beauty, made for an absolutely stunning setting.

The Perfect Outfits for a Perfect Day

When it came to their outfits, the couple chose timeless, elegant looks that complemented the luxurious feel of the day. The groom looked dashing in a classic Hugo Boss tuxedo paired with sleek leather shoes, creating a simple yet sophisticated ensemble. The bride, on the other hand, wore a stunning pleated satin A-line gown that embodied grace and elegance. She completed her look with gold and pearl jewellery, adding a touch of glamour to her timeless appearance. Pearls delicately woven into her hairstyle added the perfect finishing touch.

Unforgettable Moments

Every wedding day is filled with precious moments, but this couple's day was particularly magical. One of the most memorable parts was exchanging vows in front of their family and

friends, with emotions running high during their heartfelt promises. Speeches from loved ones added even more sentiment to the day, creating memories that will be cherished forever.

The couple also delighted in surprising their guests with elegant touches that made the day even more memorable. From a stunning Champagne tower to an indulgent dessert buffet, fireworks, and even a live illustrator, every detail was meticulously planned. The night ended with a spectacular last dance, complete with confetti, leaving guests dazzled and filled with joy.

Words of Wisdom for Future Couples

For future couples planning their big day, this bride and groom have some valuable advice: stay close to each other throughout the day so you can enjoy every moment together. Take a minute to pause and truly soak in the experience—it all goes by so quickly! Don’t stress over the little things, and most importantly, have fun and make the day your own.
