Countryside, Conga & Pretty in Pink

Looking for timeless yet classic wedding inspiration with a splash of personality? Read about this beautiful wedding reception we held here at Applewood Hall in August.

PREPARATIONS

The bridal party kept it familiar and got ready at the bride's parent's house that wasn't far from the Church.


We always recommend staying close by to your ceremony venue as this can reduce the risk of any unnecessary stress you may come across when relying on travelling a distance.


Rebecca & Alex travelled in style to Applewood Hall in a vintage Rolls Royce wedding car.

CEREMONY

A church that is just 15 minutes away from Applewood Hall is St. Remigius Church in Diss. The beautiful stained glass window really gives the wow factor when couples stand in front of it to say their I Do's.


This part of a wedding day is the most intimate and important moment of the day, so when it comes to deciding whether you want a service in a house of god or a civil ceremony in a licensed room then it is a personal choice to you as a couple.

THE DETAILS

With an elegant vision in mind, Rebecca & Alex wanted their day to be light and bright for their Summer wedding.


Seamlessly tying everything in with pastel pinks throughout their personal details to the décor of the venue itself.


The cake was made by the mother of the bride and included perfectly matched sugar paste flowers to the bride's bouquet!

Following a styling session with Wedding and Events Manager Chloe, the couple chose textured napkins, rose gold beaded charger plates and chair drapes fastened with pearl brooches to really make their tables stand out, and by putting it together ahead of their special day, they could picture how it would all come together.


Stunning fresh florals were perfectly placed around our blank canvas hall, from tall centrepieces on the tables, to a hoop dressed behind the top table and podium sprays next to the table plan - the room looked stunning.

SPECIAL MOMENTS

Matt Brasnett from I Do Photography captured some great moments throughout this couple's wedding day.


From dreamy couple portraits framed by our countryside views to those wow-factor moments under clear blue skies, soft golden hour light, or fairy lights twinkling at dusk, Applewood Hall gives you a naturally romantic backdrop in every season.


For their first dance, Rebecca & Alex hit the floor in front of our LED Love letters. The warm glow and reflection on the dancefloor created a seriously picture-perfect scene, and it’s just one of the many little touches you can mix, match, or style your own way to personalise your Applewood Hall celebration. 

 

The party even started early with a conga line that was taken all the way around our garden!

Sundown on the Sunset Social at Applewood Hall

August 20, 2025
What an unforgettable evening! On Thursday, 12th June, we had the absolute pleasure of hosting The Sunset Social right here at Applewood Hall and what a night it was. Hosted at one of South Norfolk’s best-kept secrets, our trio of event spaces; the Hall, Orchard Room and Garden set the perfect stage for an event that was anything but your typical summer garden party. From 4pm to 8pm, over 110 guests from across the region’s thriving business community came together to enjoy an afternoon of relaxed networking, vibrant entertainment, and the warmest of atmospheres. As the sun dipped, the garden buzzed with conversation and laughter. Casino tables brought out a spark of friendly competition, lawn games added a touch of whimsy, and guests connected over delicious canapés and summer-inspired drinks. It was a joy to see so many spontaneous moments of connection blossom just as the garden itself was in full bloom. We were delighted to partner with Naked Marketing and SLM Group to bring this unique event to life and support an experience that felt as relaxed and welcoming as it did memorable. Seeing our space filled with energy, joy, and new connections is exactly why we do what we do. To everyone who joined us, a big thank you. You brought the spirit that made the evening shine, and we’re so proud to have been part of it. We’re already looking ahead with excitement as talk turns to The Santa Social this winter. If The Sunset Social was anything to go by, we promise you something equally magical, festive, and full of heart.  Stay tuned and we hope to welcome you back again soon.
