Of course, the U.K has a huge range of venues to suit whatever vintage theme you decide on. Whether you'd like Deco in Devon or Victorian Gothic in Yorkshire, you'll be able to find something. My four suggestions cover a range of geographical locations, but also show how the venue you choose can be the inspiration behind the style for the rest of the wedding.
Brighton Pavilion is gloriously mad. A Regency mish mash of Oriential and Asian styles, this former Royal residence can be your own Wonderland. You could stay true to the period of the building and hold a Regency-themed wedding but Brighton Pavilion could be the venue for something far more unusual.Let your imagination run wild, the Prince Regent who commissioned it certainly did.
Inverary is a place that is not obviously one period, but it's a quiet, beautiful spot on the banks of Loch Fyne in Scotland, where you can settle in for your special day and feel that time has stopped entirely. It's worth the long journey to get there because Inverary offers the hospitality and tranquility you don't find in the selfish bustle of most modern towns.
Your reception on a
North Yorkshire steam train will give you and your guests a day to remember. Whether you'd like to pretend you're on your way to Hogwarts, or would actually like to recreate the sinister elegance of an Agatha Christie 'Murder Mystery', a meal in a Pullman carriage of your own will give you ever-changing countryside views with vintage train surroundings.
Some girls (and boys) will never give up their dream of a fairytale castle wedding.
Castell Coch in Wales is as pretty as a cartoon castle but with a long and interesting history. It will provide a gorgeous backdrop for your wedding, whether you want to play at Knights and Princesses or just want a dramatic room to match your Victorian groom or Medieval wedding dress.
