Glewstone Court – The Wedding House

Glewstone Court a luxury yet relaxed country house wedding venue

Glewstone Court is a Grade II listed Georgian manor house set in the Herefordshire countryside, with sweeping views across the area of outstanding natural beauty around the Brecon Beacons.

The venue offers exclusive-use hire, meaning you get the house and grounds just for your wedding

Indoor and outdoor ceremony options: you can marry inside one of the elegant reception rooms or outdoors—in the gardens, orchard or under the venue’s 500-year-old Cedar of Lebanon.

Just look at this stunning venue, styled beautifully here with our Poppy Floral archway, tall plinths of flowers on acrylic stands down the aisle and of course a full lining of glass candles.

Styling & Décor by The Wedding House — Bringing Your Vision to Life

At The Wedding House, we love working in venues like Mill Barns, where the bones are beautiful and the storyline is yours to write. Our goal is to layer your personality, style, and preferred colour palette onto the venue in a seamless, cohesive way using our floral ranges, lighting, and curated decor pieces.

Here’s how we typically approach a Mill Barns styling:

Ceremony Styling

Arch / Statement Feature
We place a floral arch or custom structure at the focal point of the altar or front of the barn. Depending on your chosen floral range (e.g. Victoria, Nina, Jasmine, etc.), this could be lush roses, cascading foliage, pampas features, or something more whimsical.

Aisle Decor & Chair Dressing
Coordinated elements such as petals, lanterns, floral urns, plinths, or chair sashes/drapes run down the aisle, guiding guests toward your moment.

Signing Table & Accent Florals
We’ll style the signing table to match the arch, and place smaller florals on side tables, windowsills, or other ceremony focal points.

Outdoor Ceremony Options
If you choose to marry outdoors on the terrace overlooking the pond, we’ll translate the aesthetic — perhaps with freestanding urns, florals lining the aisle, petal work, or soft fabric backdrops to echo the indoor styling.

Reception / Wedding Breakfast

Table Centerpieces & Runner Styling
For each table, we design centrepieces that complement your floral range — tall arrangements, low and lush compositions, mixed textures, or more minimalist designs. We also include table runners, candles or votives, and coordinating styling touches (e.g. charger plates, vignette pieces).

Chair Styling
Whether chiavari chairs, wooden barn chairs, or other seating, we add drapes, sashes, greenery, floral touches, or bespoke covers to tie everything together.

Backdrop, Feature Walls & Photo Zones
We can install floral walls, draped fabric backdrops, custom signage, and feature areas (e.g. neon signs, mirrored frames) for guests to gather and photograph.

Lighting & Ambiance
Ambient lighting is essential. We enhance the elegant barn interior with fairy lights, uplighters, draping, soft washes of colour, and feature lighting on key decor pieces.

Colour Flexibility
One of the advantages of working in the Barns’ neutral, timber & glass environment is that your chosen colour palette can shine. We’re not constrained by a venue colour scheme — whether soft pastels, rich jewel tones, moody darks, or neutrals, we can adapt.

Evening Enhancements

LED White Sparkle / Starlit Dancefloor
As day turns into evening, we install a striking LED white sparkle dancefloor to bring a wow factor to your first dance and encourage guests to hit the floor.

Light-Up Letters / Illuminated Features
We offer illuminated letters (“LOVE,” your initials, or custom words) to add drama, romance, and a focal photo element in the evening.

Dynamic Lighting & Transformations
In the evening, we shift the mood using lighting — uplights, gobos, pin-spotting floral focal points — so the space evolves seamlessly from ceremony to dinner to party.
