Katherine & Brett had chosen Brympton House for their wedding venue as it was local to them and as it was listed as “one of Somerset’s finest Stately Homes” how could this fail to deliver on the ‘WOW’ factor for a wedding and it certainly did not let us down.  We arrived very early and were shown around by Ellie & Grace, who were very welcoming.  The bridal suite was huge and I had plenty of fun photographing Kath, Anna & Isabel getting ready.  Chris was already photographing the ‘men in kilts’, maybe we should have swapped roles on this occasion!  The Cornish tartan, with its yellow base colour was perfect for a Spring wedding.  The ceremony was held in the Castle House, dating back to 1350 it was more like a private chapel and with excellent styling by ‘Tie the Knot’, the room looked beautiful with flowers adorning the church pews and candles & cream/green foliage decorating the window sills.  ‘Tie the Knot’s’ attention to detail was second to none and the whole house looked spectacular, wait till you see the candles on the Great Staircase and the ‘Moroccan themed’ Orangery for the evening do.  After the ceremony, Katherine & Brett were introduced to their guests waiting on the terrace & were showered with confetti.  Champagne was served and with the beautiful views over the lake and the sunny terrace, guests had a great time. We wished to capitalise on the great views over the lake to the house, so we whisked Kath & Brett off for some photos and thankfully with the recent dry weather, no ‘wellies’ were needed.  Issy joined us for a spell on the other side of the lake but when Brett threatened to flash us by lifting his kilt, she soon scarpered.  The Grand Ballroom was the location for the sumptuous wedding breakfast, check out the photos!  After the speeches, Issy read out a poem she had written for Kath, it was very emotional and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room.  Guests then geared up for the evening reception over in the Orangery which had been decked out with vibrant silk throws in red and orange for the Moroccan theme, flaming fire pits and lots and lots of tea lights.
