Choosing your wedding venue is one of the most significant decisions you’ll make during your planning process. It sets the tone for everything that follows, shaping not only how your day looks, but how it feels. Long before flowers are chosen or menus finalised, your venue sets the aesthetic, atmosphere and pace of your day - not to mention the precious memories that you and your guests will take away!

The weddings people remember most are rarely the ones built around trends alone. They’re the ones that feel personal. Days where the atmosphere feels effortless, the details feel intentional, and everything seems to reflect the couple at the heart of it all.

Your walk down the aisle is one of the most unforgettable moments of your wedding day. At Larkspur Lodge, we adore seeing couples infuse personality and creativity into their ceremony entrance. Here are a few ideas to inspire your own walk down the aisle, from the music to the styling and everything in between.

When planning your wedding, the way you travel to and from your venue might not be the first detail you think of (unless you and your partner are car lovers!), but it can make all of the difference to how your day feels. The journey is part of the story of your day, and it’s one of the last steps before saying “I do” and starting your married life.

When couples first picture their wedding day, sunshine often takes centre stage. Yet there’s a whole other world of romance, atmosphere and charm that comes alive once the air turns crisp and the nights draw in...

We’ve noticed a lovely trend. Weekday weddings offer a different kind of romance, a more serene and perhaps more intimate experience that many couples are discovering. It’s a chance to truly savour every moment, away from the typical weekend rush, and more and more couples are opting for a weekday wedding.

While Saturdays have traditionally been the most popular choice, we have noticed a wonderful trend emerging: more and more couples are opting for Friday weddings, and for very good reason.
