Spring is right around the corner. Here are some popular spring wedding trends for 2025 that we hope will make an appearance at Dover Hall this season.
Garden Party-Inspired Venues
Pastel floral palettes with pops of vibrant hues
Floral- Embellished bridesmaids' attire unique to each person.
Why is Dover Hall the perfect venue for your garden party-themed wedding?
The English manor's architecture and vineyard not only complement the garden setting, creating a rustic yet elegant atmosphere, but it feels like it was designed for this purpose. Our rose garden and trellis arch offer a stunning backdrop for your Bluestone Terrace ceremony. Meanwhile, the front of the estate features English ivy towers, ideal for candid photos with your partner, while the South Block vineyard provides a picturesque setting for a sunset cocktail hour.
Where do we recommend setting up pastel palette floral backdrops with pops of vibrancy in the estate?
The Ballroom is the perfect space to take advantage of the pastel floral palette trend. Its neutral interior provides a stunning backdrop for soft pastel florals, while the elegant space allows bold, vibrant colors to stand out. The floor-to-ceiling doors and windows open to the adjacent Bluestone Terrace, seamlessly blending the outdoor space with the Ballroom’s interior, while the sizable fireplace mantel offers plenty of room for custom floral designs—making it easy to bring this colorful trend to life in a sophisticated setting.
How would the Dover Hall estate perfectly complement your bridesmaids' floral-embellished attire?
Dover Hall is the perfect setting for showcasing floral-embellished bridesmaids' attire, no matter how unique or extravagant. Whether your bridesmaids are rocking soft, delicate florals or bold, eye-catching designs, there is no space—from the Parlor to the Reflection Pool—that couldn’t bring each outfit to life.
