Enjoy a Great British summer wedding at Heritage Parks

It's fair to say we're all eager for the pleasures of summer after a slightly underwhelming spring. Nothing is more quintessentially British and charming than celebrating longer days, sunshine, and warmer weather (however long it lasts!). Whether you're tying the knot at the historic Temple of Minerva or amidst the picturesque scenery of Parade Gardens, a British Summer theme really sets the perfect tone for your reception!

Bath's Historic Venues Heritage Parks offer a beautiful wedding backdrop during the summer, when the plants are in full bloom. At the Temple of Minerva, decorate with classic bunting, which will flutter in the breeze, while your guests dine. Serve up a nostalgic feast with Pimm's and cucumber sandwiches, sausages rolls, and strawberries and cream – all presented on vintage china.

If sandwiches aren't quite your thing, perhaps you'd fancy opting for local favourite Wild Figs' grazing table, "the British," boasting four distinct British cheeses. And for children, there's the whimsical Alice in Wonderland themed grazing table, complete with themed props and tableware – though we're certain adults would find it just as delightful! Don't forget to book Sevanetti's vintage ice cream trike! Nothing beats indulging in an ice cream on a sunny day.

At Parade Gardens, deckchairs beckon, and the manicured lawns, splendid roses, and vintage bedding, make it the ideal setting for garden games, picnics and prosecco. There's even an Edwardian bandstand – a lovely spot for photos, as well as being licensed for ceremonies.

But let's be realistic – the British weather can sometimes be a bit unpredictable! For those occasional showers, including umbrellas in your planning is handy – and they can double as parasols! At Parade Gardens you can shelter under the riverside colonnades. There's also a gazebo at the Temple, which you can add at short notice if rain is expected, or you can hire a marquee for a full day's celebration. Rain or shine, when you are celebrating with your loved ones, you're sure to have the most memorable day.

Plan your outdoor wedding now and enjoy the timeless magic of perfect summer's day. Find out more at www.bathvenues.co.uk
