Wedding showcase taking over hall
The grounds of Himley Hall will be filled with stylish marquees and glamping set-ups this weekend as part of a wedding fair open day.
Visitors will be able to look around the temporarily re-styled grounds to see what an outdoor wedding celebration would look like, as the hall is set to host outdoor weddings from 2020.
The wedding open day on Saturday(4) will off not only the recently restyled West Wing at Himley Hall, but will also allow couples to get a sense of what an outdoor celebration in the picturesque grounds would feel like.
Visitors will be able to see a fully-dressed wedding marquee, complete with bridal dressing area. The grounds will be turned into a glamping village with prosecco bar, fire pit, seating area, games area and fully-dressed cloth tent, set up for 100 but capable of hosting wedding if up to 2,000 guests.
There will also be a tipi village, where guests can stay overnight.
Inside Himley Hall itself, there will be new interiors which includes new paintwork, interior and exterior signage, the transformation of the hall foyer into an informal reception area for guests, use of the stairwell and its chandelier backdrop for photos, contemporary but classic styling by a graduate interior designer and the renaming of the rooms to better reflect the hall's history.
The ticketed event on Saturday runs between 11am and 4pm. Couples attending on the day can enter a free prize draw to win a free wedding ceremony.
It will also feature an exhibition of wedding photos submitted by couples who have been married at Himley Hall over the last 10 years.
