More and more of us are stepping back and taking a look at what we can do to take care of it, help it and generally be a little kinder to the world we live in. If you want to do your bit while wedding planning, why not consider an eco-friendly wedding venue?
Today we’re talking about some of our absolute favourite settings that are the perfect fit if you want to go green for your wedding day…
Field Farm
Set on a 100-acre arable farm within the picturesque Teme Valley, Field Farm is a timber framed barn and naturalistic garden. Sounds idyllic, doesn’t it? This is the perfect eco wedding venue if you want to say ‘I Do’ under a canopy of trailing vines, or perhaps you love the thought of walking down an aisle lined with unusual plants and greenery. Lose yourself in the tranquillity of the flowers, foliage and dreamy surroundings. Here, you’ll get a wedding venue experience like no other.
