“I have never laughed so much or felt such pure happiness in those moments.”

Set amidst seven acres of stunning gardens and a large courtyard, this hidden gem, The Secret Garden, held the beautiful wedding of Amber and Andrew, turning their dreams of the perfect wedding into a reality.

The couple were childhood sweethearts after meeting at college but their relationship quickly blossomed when Andrew popped the question in front of Aysgarth Falls, romantic to say the least!

The Venue:

‘Flexibility, perfection and exclusivity are the key elements to The Secret Garden.’

This secluded and private venue promised Amber and Andrew the day of their dreams with their unique character and charm, breath-taking views and a scenic, south-facing backdrop.

Twinkling fairy lights draped the walls of the marquee while ivory leaves hung from the ceiling above and blush pink bows covered the chairs.  

“We loved the quirkiness, the beautiful gardens and the overall laid back and relaxed feel to the day. I would absolutely recommend this venue to anyone!” Amber reflected.

The Dress:

Amber said: “After three bridal shops and trying on so many dresses, I never thought I would get that special feeling, until I tried on the dress and I just knew.

I loved the simplicity and gorgeous boho lace detail - I didn’t want to take it off! The ladies at Jayne’s Bridal Wear were fabulous and made me feel like a princess in my dress.”

A boho beauty – Amber stepped out in a beautiful mermaid-style gown, with sweetheart neckline and delicate lace detailing.

Amber’s subtle yet stunning look was complemented perfectly by her bohemian bridesmaids and rose pink flower bouquet.

The Bride’s Advice:

“Try not to stress about the minor details. You can get so caught up in making sure the day is perfect that you forget what it’s really all about.”
