Editor’s Notes

Why we love it…

Elegance encapsulated – we love the property’s historic homestead and its chic, stylish surrounds. The gardens encircling the venue are beautifully kept and create a stunning backdrop for a variety of weddings.

For the couple…

For the classic couple drawn to the romantic and the refined.

Styling tips…

Make use of the verdant grounds and host a spring wedding outdoors. Keep the details classic with an unexpected twist and style an abundance of roses in white or muted tones into sculptural arrangements that meld beautifully into the garden landscapes.
