The Margam Park Orangery is a dream wedding venue, offering an exquisite blend of historic charm and grand elegance.

An Elegant Colour Palette With A Pop Of Colour
Sophie’s carefully chosen colour palette of gold, champagne/oyster, ivory/cream, and blush pink set the tone for an effortlessly elegant day. Every detail, from the bridesmaids’ dresses to the floral arrangements, reflected this soft and luxurious combination, creating a wedding aesthetic that felt both classic and refined.
Bridal Beauty and Dress Details
Sophie looked stunning in her Gaia wedding dress, with intricate details and a long train. Her bridal look was perfected by Alys Williams from House of Hair, who styled her hair into an romantic ringlets and Kirsty Rowlands Makeup, ensured a flawless, radiant bridal glow.
A Bouquet of Sentiment – Lily of the Valley
A particularly heartfelt element of the day was the bride’s choice of lily of the valley for her bouquet. This flower was a meaningful tribute to her beloved grandmother, who had also carried lily of the valley in her wedding bouquet. Beyond its sentimental significance, the flower symbolises purity, happiness, and a return to joy, making it a fitting choice for such a special occasion. All the beautiful bouquets were designed by Florrie & Jo
A Ceremony Filled with Music and Emotion
The couple’s wedding ceremony took place at St John the Baptist Church, not far from their home in Newton, a setting that added to the beauty and sacredness of their vows. The service was nothing short of magical, with music provided by the renowned Maesteg Gleemen, a male voice choir that held deep personal significance to the bride’s family, as her father is a member. Their voices filled the church with harmonies that created an atmosphere of warmth and celebration, making the ceremony all the more special.
