Wedding Breakfast Set Up at Dodford Manor

Dodford Manor is a charming and picturesque venue located in the heart of the English countryside.

Review - 'Beth was wonderful from initial consultation right through to our Wedding day. She listened to my ideas and amended quotes after changing my mind a couple of times with no judgement and no hard sell. The decor pieces I chose were beautifully put together and the team at Miss Carlysle & Co seamlessly moved and repurposed items from our ceremony to our Wedding breakfast. The sett up was faultless and had amazing attention to detail. Highly recommend Miss Carlysle & Co'.

Dodford Manor

Ceremony Set Up

Barn ceremony setups are increasingly popular for weddings and special events, offering a rustic charm that blends the beauty of nature with the warmth of a cozy indoor space. Many barns feature high ceilings with wooden beams, which can be beautifully accentuated with draped fabric, twinkling fairy lights, or lush greenery.

Spring Weddings at Dodford Manor are simply stunning. The natural light floods through the floor to ceiling windows, highlighting the beautiful wooden beams and stone floors. Spring also brings the first opportunity of the year to take advantage of the stunning grounds at Dodford Manor with beautiful photo opportunities, post ceremony drinks and garden games!

Props provided by Miss Carlysle and Co: A Hexagon Arch with White Draping, and Gold Lanterns with LED Pillar Candles.

Wedding Breakfast Set Up

You'll notice that the breathtaking hexagon arch that acted as a backdrop for the couples ceremony was reused for their wedding breakfast. Many props and decor items have the potential to be reused throughout the day which is a great opportunity to save money but also to make the most of your favourite items. The hexagon arch was dressed with white draping and gorgeous florals, too good to leave just at the ceremony!

Another item Sarah and Stephen chose to reuse was the gold lanterns with LED pillar candles which initially lined the aisle and then went on to dress the top table for their wedding breakfast.

Props provided by Miss Carlysle and Co - A Hexagon Arch, Gold Lanterns with LED Pillar Candles and Mustard napkins.

There are so many reasons to opt for a barn wedding. The most common appeal is the traditional buildings with high ceilings exposed beams and rustic atmosphere. Barn venues often have endless options for theme too. You may choose to go for a more modern-chic vibe, rustic elegance or full fairy tale wonderland.
