​Hello and welcome again to our blog! Time certainly does fly and we are on part 3 of our UK Wedding Venues section discussing our top 5 venues in their respective styles. We’ve covered Castles and Barns (see http://www.inviteinabottle.co.uk/blog for the others!) and now we are uncovering some really impressive venues in the UK in the form of Stately Homes.  These awe inspiring buildings date back centuries and are a huge part of British History, luckily for us many now accommodate weddings which lead to some sensational photographs!
As usual we’ve hand picked our top 5 which really caught our eye, enjoy!

There is a certain amount of British pride in these buildings, you guests would surely be astounded walking around the gardens or enjoying the splendour of the buildings. I really enjoyed looking through these, I certainly think if you are looking to make a bold statement at your wedding then a Stately Home is the way forward.

Well that’s all for this week folks, thanks for all the recent likes and follows and I’ll be sure to post a new blog next week!
 
See ya!
