How to have an Alternative Wedding?

Hello and welcome to Highfield! I'm guessing you've come here to plan a wedding. If so, you've come to the right place! You know how it goes: white gown, black tux, 'til death do us part. However, the trappings of a traditional wedding may feel too, well, traditional for some couples to truly represent them. Luckily, there are multiple ways to celebrate a marriage, and more couples than ever are opting for an alternative wedding approach.

Unique Alternative Wedding Venue

The atmosphere of your wedding is determined by the location. Choose one that represents you and doesn't be put off by the fact that it's an official wedding venue! You could select a venue that requires little decoration. You could turn a blank canvas into your wedding fantasy, or you could simply marry in a wooded area as part of an outdoor wedding! Perhaps you have a favourite venue or one that simply makes your heart gleam. Either way, your wedding venue should reflect the day you have dreamt about! 

Highfield is a Victorian/mock Elizabethan merchant's house with a lot of character, making it the ideal venue for an unconventional wedding. Our Reception Hall is a deep royal blue colour that is ideal for pre-wedding photography of the couple before or after the ceremony. After the ceremony, guests will be able to roam the beautiful and magical grounds, or even visit our quirky Library room for refreshments. 

Our eight acres of ancient woodlands and groomed grounds can be transformed into opulent enchanted forests or delicately dressed with magical décor to help you create something outrageously romantic. Meanwhile, you'll avoid the hassles of an out-of-the-way outdoor ceremony.

Alternative Wedding Theme 

Why not plan a themed wedding? Choosing a theme makes deciding on a colour scheme, décor, and entertainment extremely easy. Themes are also a lot of fun! They can be incorporated to your liking and can reflect your personality as a duo. Themed weddings, contrary to popular opinion, shouldn't have to be tacky. Why not have a 70s glam rock wedding or a magical woodland wedding

Look the Part 

The way you dress influences how you feel. Don't settle for anything less than your absolute best on your wedding day! We believe in embracing our quirks, so we genuinely think that an amazing wedding look shows personality! Don't be afraid to try on and experiment with everything in the store! There are no rules, and you are not even required to wear white!

Alternative Wedding Bouquets

There are numerous ways to inject personality into your wedding attire. Alternative wedding bouquets are one of our favourite things! They are great because they last forever and can be made with your favourite items! You could have a song lyrics paper bouquet or a jewelled bouquet with enchantments of your favourite things!
