The Hestercombe Wedding Open Day takes place on Sunday 7 May and will present this beautiful wedding venue ready for a wedding along with a hand-picked selection of florists, photographers, outfitters, make-up artists and cake makers from across the region.
See Hestercombe’s stunning Bampfylde Hall set up for a wedding, explore the picturesque gardens and watch some interesting demonstrations from suppliers. Jan Waters of Hillcommon-based JW Blooms will be showing her floristry skills, creating a hand-tied bouquet and floral crowns using flowers cut fresh from her flower field that morning.
Pip Southgate will be giving wedding make-up demonstrations to make sure you look picture-perfect for your big day, and Jinks Art will also be giving a demonstration of their wedding stationery and painting a watercolour of the venue on the day.
Other exhibitors include In the Wild Art by Helena Willford, for individual wedding stationery, Gemma Waterjohns for the perfect wedding day hair, Golden Harp music, Tilda Rose and Eden Wedding Florist for fabulous floral displays. For delicious bespoke favours, Cocoa’s Locally Handmade Chocolates will take you to chocolate heaven and be sure to impress your guests.
For exquisite, locally grown and ethically produced blooms JW Blooms will show you how to create perfect wedding posies and to demonstrate how much better British-grown flowers look and smell to their overseas counterparts, and Charlotte Jane Cakes will talk you through your options with their fabulous wedding cakes.
Christian Michael Photography, and Bristol-based Jamie Dodd Photography are on hand to demonstrate how they capture the most stunning wedding images for your special day; and for that most important detail, the dress, there is Parham House Brides, based in Dunster, to offer you advice and samples about the type of look you are going for. Astaires outfitters and tailors will leave the man in your life looking dapper and ready to go with a sharp suit and all the right accessories, and Pumpkin and Pye offer alternatives to the traditional floral bouquets, with buttons and artificial flowers.
With such a variety of wedding specialist in one place, you’ll find those all-important decisions much easier to make, and you’ll be in the superb setting of Hestercombe Gardens, with its three centuries of garden design, formal and landscape gardens, great cascade, Pear Pond, and fabulous garden buildings.
