British summer, hey? ☔☀️ One minute it's glorious sunshine, the next you're reaching for a brolly — and if there's one thing we've learned after hosting weddings through every kind of weather, it's this: a great celebration doesn't depend on blue skies.
A few of our favourite ways we help make sure the weather never gets the final say:
🌾 The Barn — cosy, characterful, and just as beautiful lit up on a grey afternoon as it is in full sun
⛺ The Tipi — covered, atmospheric, and honestly rather magical when rain patters on the canvas
☂️ Backup plans, built in — ceremony spots both indoors and out, so a change of plan is never a scramble
🕯️ Lighting that does the work — turn down the light, turn up the candles, and any space feels intimate
So whether your day brings sunshine, showers, or a bit of both, you can relax knowing Dovecote has you covered — quite literally. 🤍
