Lake District Wedding Venues

When talking with the boyf about weddings, the only thing he's really had any input on is that he would, one, like to get married in Autumn late Sept/ Oct time and two, get married in Scotland or the Lake District... he loves though backdrops, water, mountains... (manly)!

Here are four lovely options I have even considered if we were to get married.

Augill Castle - my personal favourite

Wedding Venue Review - Hartsfield Manor

Hartsfield Manor is part of the De Vere Venues group - with lovely venues all over the UK!  We spent a night at their Surrey venue over Christmas.

The house and grounds itself are lovely, would make a great backdrop to anyone's big day.  The only disappointment would if you are staying in the rooms they built at the side of the house... looks like a cheap prefab school building, the rooms are good but badly proportioned!

They do offer great value on some of the Wedding Packages - check them out here

Burrito Breakfast

According to Wiki, the Wedding Breakfast is:

wedding breakfast is a dinner given to the bridebridegroom, and guests at the wedding reception that follows a wedding in the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Scandinavia and some English-speaking countries. The Compact Oxford Dictionary[1] lists the phrase as only “British”, and the Merriam-Webster online dictionary[2] does not list it at all. Wedding breakfast custom is occasionally spotted in touristic countries - especially ones that are destination for tourists from English speaking countries. Countries like Poland[3]have prepared offers to cater especially for wedding tourists.
Nowadays the wedding breakfast is not normally a morning meal, so its name can be confusing. The name is claimed[4] to have arisen from the fact that in pre-Reformation times the wedding service was usually a Eucharistic Mass and that the bride and bridegroom would therefore have been fasting before the wedding in order to be eligible to receive the sacrament of Holy Communion. After the wedding ceremony was complete, the priest would bless and distribute some wine, cakes, and sweetmeats, which were then handed round to the company, including the bride and groom. This distribution of food and drink was therefore a literal “break fast” for the bride and groom, though others in attendance would not necessarily take Communion and therefore would not necessarily have been fasting. Since usage of the phrase cannot be shown to date back earlier than the first half of the nineteenth century however, a pre-16th-century origin seems unlikely.

So I would like a burrito wedding breakfast, you could have it family style / buffet style / sit down / 'bar' or van so many options, so many foods, get some margaritas!  AWESOME. 










GET THE LOOK: Mexican Themed Wedding

So last night I had burritos for dinner, and I love them so much it got me thinking could you have a burrito bar / Mexican fiesta themed wedding breakfast - or just go all out and have a Mexican themed wedding!

Lots of colour, lots of fun and lots of food.

GET THE LOOK: #TOWIE Themed Wedding

Much to my boyfriends dismay I am a 'reality' TV fan, in particular The Only Way is Essex and Made in Chelsea, occasionally the Real Housewives.  So if you are keeping up to date with Joey Essex and Sam's on / off relationship and can't get enough here are a few ideas for a #TOWIE themed Wedding.

Big, bold, boobs and bling!  Essex style.
