Easily accessed from London's bustling centre, Bedfordshire is the epitome of country charm and stately grandeur. Here, amidst the historic venues , crumbling ruins, and wildlife parks (a diverse county indeed), a selection of civil ceremony sites await. From a modern clubhouse to a Victorian manor, there is a setting fit for any theme. Here's how to make your ceremony more personal to you.

Get Expressive With Your Words

When it comes to civil ceremonies, there are specific words required by law, but it doesn't mean there is no room for a little personality. Writing your own vows is a beautiful, thoughtful way to bring a touch of romance to the proceedings. You can work with your registrar to finalize a script that pays heed to the essentials while adding your own spin to the ceremony. Our guide to writing wedding vows is a good place to start. Another option is to invite loved ones to share a reading, whether a poem, a quote, or a loving lyric. It could even be a short story that captures the very essence of you.

Get Expressive With Your Décor

Bedfordshire is teeming with flowers and vibrant parkland, so why not incorporate it into your ceremony setting. Most venues are happy to let you personalize the space with linens and blooms. Floral arrangements are an easy way of bringing in colour schemes while setting a romantic, elegant atmosphere. You could opt for an arch backdrop in a rustic or minimalist style or opt for lavish registrar table arrangements. Bedfordshire has a number of wedding florists to choose from, each one well versed in bespoke design.
