Tying the knot can be one of the most important moments of a lifetime. So it’s important to take care when choosing where you’re going to have your wedding ceremony. Today, lots of couples are saying their vows in increasingly imaginative, and memorable, spaces. Here is a selection of the some of the most popular spots throughout the United Kingdom.
Since it was constructed in 1999, the London Eye (or the Millennium Wheel) has not only become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the country but also one of the most sought after places to conduct wedding ceremonies. Bride and groom, along with up to 20 guests, can have a private capsule decked out with flowers. The largest ferris wheel in Europe at a height of 135 metres, this really is a particularly special way to celebrate your bond. Couples are usually pronounced man and wife at the moment when the wheel reaches the top; then sip champagne while watching London float by on the way down.
Another popular spot is the HMS Belfast, also in London. Launched back in 1983, the boat is the last surviving example of the majestic fleets of gun-armoured warships built for the royal navy. Romantically, couples are able to celebrate their vows on Quarterdeck, which is also a great place for a party. And the views of Tower Bridge and the Thames from the middle of the river are quite breathtaking. Weddings are best here in the summertime.
Finally, the Balmoral Castle in beautiful Edinburgh has been long-touted as a fabulous wedding spot. From here, you can exchange vows overlooking views of Edinburgh Castle, and drink your champagne while listening to a piper playing traditional music. The castle is a good spot to go to if you want a classic and elegant style of wedding.
Finally, if you’ve taken time, research and thought choosing your wedding space, you’ll really want to make sure you get the decorations right. Companies such as Interflora keep up to date with trends in flower design so as to create constantly innovative hampers, especially arranged for weddings. Do check out Interflora’s “Heavenly Rose” and “Stolen Kisses” hand-tied roses, which, simple but stunning, also come in a range of colours.
