Making the Most of Your Melton Mowbray Wedding Venue
So you've decided to host a wedding in Leicestershire's food capital and indulge in all the historic splendour and heritage Melton Mowbray has to offer. It's easy to see why. This charming town is not just the home of stilton cheese. Here you will find Belvoir Castle in all its majesty and the Great North Road where many monarchs made their journey to and from London. The heritage is rich, and the beautiful scenery is plentiful. So here's how to make the most of this royal backdrop.
Pay Homage to the Past with Old-Fashioned Country Decor
The charm of 'the Rural Capital of Food' cannot be denied. Lying right on the River Eye, an easy 20 miles from Nottingham, Melton Mowbray is nothing but lush greens and rolling fields. Here, wedding venues boast hundreds of acres, perfect for hosting a country affair with all the trimmings. Bringing a vintage twist to the rustic decor is an excellent way of embracing the area's royal ties. Think lots of repurposed items, like apothecary bottles or antique doors. This style works wonderfully on both farm and manor settings. For more ideas, check our guide to vintage wedding decor.
Celebrate the British Countryside with a Rural Wedding Feast
When in Melton Mowbray, eat as the locals do. This town is brimming with incredible eats, from its signature pork pies to world-class pastries. In an area bosting an annual food festival, you just know the catering will be second to none. An alfresco dining experience is always a go-to option for the ultimate country wedding feast. Bring out that wooden farm table and a couple of choice food stations, and the stage is set. You can elevate the rustic setting with a few elegant centrepieces and muted linens or lean into the theme with vibrant foliage. A mobile bar is always a nice touch, with craft cocktails being a real crowd-pleaser.
