It’s rare to find a wedding venue that makes a beautifully profound impact on your beating heart. An enchanting and mystical place, The Secret Garden at Blenheim Palace will truly make your wedding photographs exquisitely unique. Before you relax and enjoy the grandeur of this splendid palace with your guests, be sure to visit The Secret Garden’s blossoming backdrop to complete your fairytale day.
Lovingly restored in 2003, the paths of the garden wind around a three acre site – full of ancient trees and foliage. A wedding photographer’s dream; take advantage of the stunning natural light that filters through a canopy of leaves and be inspired by the beautiful reflections of the many peaceful waters for some artistic shots. A small cascade and several pools with water running continually between them creates a tranquil haven away from prying eyes -ideal to whisk your other half away and steal a moment together before your wedding celebrations really begin.
During spring, the garden comes alive with over 10,000 bulbs in the ground that fully bloom in March. These pretty petals will compliment you and your blushing bridemaids as you saunter beneath the chirps of the precious springtime birds. Your special day will be a real-life fairytale in the making.
Undoubtedly a garden for all seasons, the summer rays will glint off your sparkling wedding jewellery as you twirl beneath the wooden gazebo. As mother nature changes its course, your veil will look spectacular as it flows in the autumn gusts of wind. The faint odors of wood and hues of scarlet, gold and orange exude warmth which would team perfectly with a rustic vintage wedding theme.
If you are fretting about the ice-cold winter climate, the area around the large pool with a small cascade hosts its own micro climate. The water is always flowing and this moves the air around meaning it stays a little warmer around the pond in winter than in other parts of the garden. Simply magical. You and your partner can relax in the knowledge that your winter wonderland wedding will be just perfect.
Following your romantic jaunt around the many gardens, make your way to the palace. When planning your wedding you will be spoiled for choice at this lavish stately home. The Orangery is one such option that will blow your family and friends away. The stunning high ceilings, arched windows and glass panelled roof leaves the room filled with natural light. A cozy choice for a wedding in the depths of winter as you toast your new beginning whilst the stars twinkle from above.
Choose Britain’s greatest palace for your wedding day. A precious time, every time. For more information, get in touch with the Blenheim Palace Events Team on 01993 813874 or email sales@blenheimhospitality.com.
