This is our wedding venue! I'm so excited, we are getting married in the chapel and our registrar has been booked for 1pm. I love the place and it's not overly big so will be well suited to our numbers, around 60. They have an option for a barn owl to fly the rings down the aisle which I think we have to do!

Venue looks lovely. We're getting married in a castle too :)

It's beautiful Sammi.. I think it would be rude not to have the barn owl in a setting like that :) x
April I love your castle it's stunning and it looks huge! The ceiling inside the reception room is fantastic. I'm such a geek I've always loved castles!
CommentAuthorAprilS61
Me too sammi, we decided we would get married there before we got engaged so didn't even consider anywhere else lol. It's not as big as it looks which worries me every now and again. Yours looks bigger than mine.
Our venue opened a falconry not long ago over the field but we dont want to spend any more money than we have.

Wow Sammi looks amazing! I love barn owls! When we were visiting friends in Scotland a falconry were doing a display in the middle of a shopping centre to raise money and spread awareness and I fell in love with the tamest little barn own, it liked head rubs and cuddles. Cuteness overload :)

I had my heart set on Clearwell Castle until we realised we really couldn't afford it and wouldn't have anywhere near enough guests to fill it.. haha x

Clearwell castle is beautiful but yes I'm guessing pricey! Dalhousie castle is actually quite small, I think the pics make it look bigger! It was basically find a castle near an airport on a reasonable package price!

What an idyllic place to have your wedding. It's lovely
CommentAuthorSammi_with_camera
Thank you, currently getting a move on with invites so people have time to book rooms and flights!
Invites, main invites are square with a silver embossed paper overlay, navy lace and wooden name cut outs which I have painted silver. The mini ones are our rsvp cards.

And Rosalie our cat wanted to help out! Bless her!
CommentAuthorElinor Claire
Oh wow what an amazing venue. The barn owl idea is wonderful too. Just be aware though, I heard about a couple who had that and the owl flew up to the rafters with the rings and went to sleep. It probably wouldn't happen as the owl is presumably trained, but might be worth having a plan in place in case that happens. You can still marry, the rings aren't a legal requirement.

CommentAuthorElinor Claire
I love cats too. Just don't let the cat and the owl get anywhere near each other.

CommentAuthorSammi_with_camera
Literally I found the template online and just printed it out on to thin card. Then cut them out and stuck them together and cut out the hole for the ribbon. All very easy!! I want to make personalised ones for guests staying at the castle, do not disturb we've been partying with the new Mr & Mrs etc x

Quite easy to make, just source a wooden hanger I've bought white wooden ones from the bay of e but te$co sells them for £2.50 then grab some craft wire in gold, silver or I used copper and get bending. Was a little tricky but fairly easy.
CommentAuthorAprilS61
Well done you, I'd like to be that creative!

CommentAuthorSammi_with_camera
The Mrs one was a nightmare, but I bought different wire from the bay of e and it is far easier to bend. It was 7.20 for 20 metres which is loads. The hangers were £10 for 10 free postage on the bay of e also, I just pulled the bottom bar off! Xx
CommentAuthorFlossie
I did briefly consider having a go seeing how lovely yours have turned out.. but I think I might just stick to buying them ready made haha x
