Autumn Wedding Day At Millbridge Court #marriedatmillbridge
With Autumn well & truly upon us, it seemed like the perfect time to share with you all one of last years stunning October Wedding Days.
C&I’s vision for their day was simply breathtaking & the suppliers that brought their autumnal vision to life did so perfectly. Their florist was none other than the wonderful Jay Archer Floral Design who created the most phenomenal Ceremony Archway, not to mention the stunning floral arrangements in both the Ceremony & the Dining Barn, abundant with rich, colourful flowers & foliage. Little touches such as dried leaves lining the aisle & hanging fresh leaves from the pegs & shelves really added to the theme & made such a spectacular visual impact.
In charge of capturing the beautiful details & styling touches, as well as all of those special moments was Guy Collier, a photographer who always manages to tell the story of the day so seamlessly, from the Bridal preparations, right up until the dancing is well underway. Whittling the images down to choose which ones would be featured below was near to impossible, so this may just be one of our longest blog posts to date, but there were just far too many exquisite details, happy moments & beautiful couples shots to choose from.
In a few weeks time, it’ll be C&I’s first Wedding Anniversary, so we wish you both the happiest day & hope that your first year of marriage has been utterly wonderful in every way. Thank you for letting us share in what was such an amazing day! Xx
June Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
Earlier on this Summer, C & D had their beautiful Wedding Day here at Millbridge Court which saw some really fantastic industry suppliers come together to bring their fairytale day to life.
The Bride & Groom were lucky enough to have the illusive Summer sunshine make an appearance on their big day, which enabled them to have the most breathtaking Arbor Ceremony, complete with exquisite milk churn floral arrangements, abundant with blush and peach blooms, created by the uber talented Hannah Berry Flowers.
The heavenly floralising didn’t end there, with Hannah creating elegant & fragrant centrepieces which looked so perfect alongside the soft grey linens & glassware chosen by the couple. The abundant milk churn arrangements were also brought inside following the Ceremony to frame the top table, a wonderful way to make the most of show stopping flowers! Further adding to the Dining Barn’s styling was C & D’s Wedding Cake; a four tier gold leaf, peach & grey marble masterpiece made by Elle Gerrish (Designer Cakes By Elle) which consisted of a Lime & Coconut, Red Velvet & Caramel layers with a salted caramel drizzle.
Their chosen photographer was none other than VLA Photography, who captured all of the days details so beautifully along with all of those special moments. Thank you to Jon & Laura for allowing us to share their beautiful images & we’re so excited to have chosen a selection for you all to see below.
Last but not least, we want to wish the Bride & Groom so much love & happiness in their lives together as Husband & Wife. Thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of what was such a fabulous day! Xx
Autumn Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
In October of last year, Millbridge Court was lucky enough to host A+R’s beautiful Wedding Day which brought together a selection of really talented industry suppliers.
With the Bride being a part of glamorous womenswear brand, Needle & Thread, she was no stranger to Wedding Fairs & the industry as a whole, so it was no surprise that the vision A brought to life on her Big Day was so stylish & elegant.
The Barn’s looked so romantic adorned with floral arrangements made up of an abundance of hydrangeas & roses sourced by the Bride & created by Bex from a Blush Floral Design. They also had white, opaque Bubblegum balloons which were installed high on the beams & on each Dining Table & to further add to the minimal style of the day, the Bride & Groom chose to have ghost chairs for both the Ceremony & dining.
A+R’s Wedding Cake was a real showstopper created by Rachel Hill which consisted of layers of delicious carrot cake, cherry bakewell & chocolate orange cake. And the sweet treats didn’t end there, with Kalm Kitchen creating a chic Patisserie Bar filled with delicate little Banoffee Puddings, Eton Mess, Raspeberry Mousse & Elderflower Jellies.
Joining us for the day capturing all of those precious moments & the exquisite details was Chloé (Caught The Light). Her images are so stunning that they were even featured in Brides Magazine earlier this year; thank you ever so much for sharing them with us also.
To the Bride & Groom, we wish you so much happiness & love in your married lives together & we hope your first year of marriage has been ever so wonderful. Thank you for allowing us to a part of your wonderful day! Xx
Spring Wedding Day At Millbridge Court
In April, we hosted the most breathtaking Spring Wedding Day involving a plethora of truly wonderful MBC Partners.
From the very first day R+G visited Millbridge Court they had such a wonderful vision for their Wedding and it was such a pleasure to guide them through the planning process and hear about all of their exciting ideas. No detail was left unconsidered with the couple having their menus handwritten by calligraphy genius Judy broad Calligraphy and their guests were spoilt with an interactive menu by Kalm Kitchen and delicious cocktails available for everyone as they left the Wedding Breakfast… it’s all in the little touches.
The immensely talented Hannah Berry Flowers was the florist in charge of bringing their elegant vision to life, which she did oh so perfectly. The Barns were adorned with heavenly fresh, white, clean centrepieces and arrangements that made the Venue look so romantic.
The lady chosen to capture the love, the joy, the gorgeous details and so much more, was the fabulous Sarah Legge Photography. On R+G’s first visit to us they looked through a photo album from one of Sarah’s previous Weddings shot here at Millbridge Court and they knew right away that that was the lady for the job. Her images speak for themselves and she’s also a complete joy toward alongside on a Wedding Day.
We thought we’d share with you all some of the wonderful moments that Sarah captured from R+G’s day and we wish the happy couple every bit of love and happiness in their married lives together! Xx
The Lodge
Nestled in the furthest corner of the Millbridge Court grounds, we have created The Lodge; a tranquil & exclusive haven for our lucky couples to use as their Bridal Suite on the night of their Wedding Day.
Inside The Lodge, the bedroom area boasts a Super-King sized sleigh bed, a freestanding copper bath & log burner to make it extra cosy in those chillier months; & in the bathroom there are not one, but two showers & sinks complete with luxurious Bramley products. The newlyweds can also make the most of breathtaking views of the Frensham countryside on The Lodge Balcony, the perfect spot for tea & coffee the morning after the celebrations.
Below are a selection of images of the brand new Milbridge Court Lodge to give you a little taster of what we have created… we really hope you love them. Xx

Gemma Milly Calligraphy Workshop at Millbridge Court
Looking to have a wonderful day out with friends and learn an incredible skill at the same time? Well, look no further; we may just be holding the perfect event for you.
We are so excited to be hosting Gemma Milly’s Surrey workshop here at Millbridge Court on Sunday 26th April in our Boutique Hotel. So many people have fallen in love with the undeniable delights of calligraphy, a skill that Gemma teaches in the most beautiful and indulgent way.
On the day, Gemma will be introducing the group to traditional copperplate calligraphy, working through the basics of letterforms and alphabets and looking in to ink, pens, nibs and papers. There will be time to practice all of the skills learnt while Gemma shares her knowledge with each attendee individually. But not only that, little touches of luxury are added throughout. Eating and drinking is heavily encouraged in class and with the wonderful Kalm Kitchen providing the nibbles throughout, no one will be going home hungry. There is also an instashoot area with props on hand so you can share what you’ve created and learnt on the day. Gemma will then be on hand via email to follow up after the workshop and answer any questions as well as being in touch with exclusive news and tips.
At the end of the 3 hours, guests will have created a beautiful piece of stationery that they can take home with them; they will also be given a beautiful goody bag stuffed full of loveliness. It will include some more surprises and all of the class materials (pen holder, nibs, ink, calligraphy workbook, tracing sheets and practice sheets) so that the skills practiced can be enhanced at home.
Millbridge Court Brides… if you’re a creative type, this might just be the perfect skill to learn so that you can add some handcrafted touches to your big day! Or perhaps it’s the perfect gift for a friend or relative so that they can hone a new skill and have an all round fabulous day out. There are very few spaces left so do get in touch with Gemma to secure your spot at the Millbridge Court workshop.
July Wedding Day #marriedatmillbridge
As Seen In You & Your Wedding (November Issue) #marriedatmillbridge
Winter Wedding At Millbridge Court #marriedatmillbridge
This cold, crisp, festive time of year seemed like the perfect opportunity to share Mr & Mrs Shandall-Woods’ breathtaking Wedding Day with you all. If you love foliage & want some winter Wedding Inspiration then this blog post is definitely the one for you!
S&R’s chosen florist was none other than Jay Archer Blooms who created the most spectacular foliage arrangements that stood tall in our Dining Barn and on alternate tables there were lower centrepieces which featured soft blooms of white & blush. The arrangements stood upon blocks of tree trunk and little tree trunk slices were used to create tea light holders which gave the tables a real woodland feel.
The Bride & Groom chose not just one, but three fabulous Kalm Kitchen interactive Menu options, starting with a Charcuterie Board, followed by Carve at the Table Beef (featuring comedy aprons!) and lastly, a rather beautiful looking sharing Mille-Fueille. Such a fun way to get your guests interacting and a sure way to fill the Barns with laughter, especially when the ‘Carvers’ unwrap their aprons!
Their chosen photographer was the wonderful Kate Gray who captured the Barns and Jay Archer’s incredible work so perfectly and with the soft Winter sunlight on their side, the photos of S&R in the Millbridge Court grounds are so spectacular. Kate really did capture every happy moment and all of the details, even the smallest, so wonderfully.
