Following the announcement of the royal engagement between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, De Vere suggests an idyllic outdoor and regal country house setting, plus a Cotswold minimoon with the pooches.
De Vere Wotton House – The Picturesque Garden
De Vere Wotton House boasts 13 acres of stunning Grade II listed gardens including the UK’s first Italian garden, designed by famous botanist John Evelyn (the inspiration for Crabtree & Evelynn) who lived at Wotton House in the 17th century. There are also temples, waterfalls, a secret garden grotto and beautiful floral displays that offer couples striking backdrops.
De Vere Tortworth Court – The Regal Setting
De Vere Tortworth Court, a Grade II listed building which dates back to the 1840’s, is located in the heart of the Cotswolds. Over the centuries the building has entertained earls, barons and even royalty, making it the perfect setting for a regal wedding. The Kipling Suite offers original features, including a fireplace and bay windows, overlooking the rolling Gloucestershire hills. The property’s Orangery is a grand conservatory built in 1874, featuring an ornamental glass ceiling and windows. Set on 30 acres of estate grounds with access to the country’s first arboretum, with more than 300 plant and tree specimens, it will be the ideal backdrop for spring wedding pictures.
