This Sunday the gorgeous orangery at Goldney Hall will be packed with top vintage wedding suppliers. The fair opens at 11am and all proceeds from the £1 entry fee go to Breast Cancer UK.

Goldney Hall recently hosted a wedding fair with a vintage twist in association with Auntie's Vintage. There was a great range of top suppliers on hand in both the main house and the stunning light and airy Orangery.




Couples had the opporunity to look around the venue and the gorgeous grounds featuring an ornamental canal with bubbling fountain, the stunning tower and the intruiging shell lined grotto.

The lovely Goldney Hall is a bit of a hidden gem in Bristol. It's part of the University of Bristol and makes a stunning venue due to it's pretty orangery and it's hidden features such as grottos, towers and water features.

Entry costs £1 and will be donated to Breast cancer UK. Find out more about the fair here

If you are looking for a historic venue for a Bristol Wedding, then a University may not immediately spring to mind but Goldney Hall, which forms part of the University of Bristol is full of hidden gems. Goldney Hall  was built in the 1720s and  remained a family home for over 230 years before passing to the University in the 60s.


                

It boasts an impressive orangery, original paneling and landscaped grounds full or grottos, follies, canals and monuments that make an amazing backdrop to your Wedding photography. Ceremonies for up to 40 take place during the University holidays in the Mahogany Parlour with its ornate fireplace and views over the gardens.


                         


For reception of up to 150 people, the Orangery is a beautifull light filled space that overlooks the ornamental canal, tower and gardens. All catering is provided by Fosters Events who hold a long standing contract with Goldney Hall.

When you look around some Venues you can often feel that they will not fit the look or style that you have in mind for your Wedding due to brightly coloured carpets and heavy maroon or dark blue and gold banqueting chairs. Chair covers have become more and more fashionable as they can transform even the brightest chair into lovely neutral seating that can then be accessorised with a pretty sash or flowers to match your theme.

We love this picture from Ambience Venue Styling of the gorgeous Orangery at Goldney Hall styled with neutral chair covers, vintage shabby-chic crockery and pretty pink peonies.


Kathryn from Ambience has a blog with some great tips of what you should look for when booking a chair hire company. These include not always going for the cheapest option, as the quality of chair covers can vary massively and you need to ensure that they look pristine on your special day.
