On the 22nd of January, we were lucky enough to attend the Greentrees Estate Wedding Showcase. This was an incredible opportunity for us to meet and interact with engaged couples and bridal parties from all over the area. Many of them had seen our work before and were excited to learn more about what we could offer on their special day.
The event was a full-day affair, starting off with an early morning meet & greet on the stunning grounds of Greentrees Estate. We introduced ourselves to the couples and bridal parties, and let them know about our services.
We set up our station to show off our many fantastic wedding gowns and dresses for bridal parties. We absolutely loved the experience.
The Greentrees Estate
This venue is absolutely stunning. Greentrees is set in 170 acres of West Sussex countryside private and exclusive with manicured gardens, a lake and stunning accommodation as part of the weekend dry hire. It also neighbours woodland set on the edges of both Cowdray and Brantridge Forests.
The Grand Oak Hall where functions take place has a contemporary feel, the bridal suite was made using timber from a recently fallen oak tree on the estate.
The walled garden was recently used in Tammy Brixon’s latest video where at the end of filming it, he proposed to his beautiful girlfriend Sandra in the Grand Oak Hall surrounded by candles and rose petals. Of course, she said YES! It was so romantic and a truly magical moment to witness.
There are eight little cottages on site where bridal parties can stay for the weekend. These quaint cottages overlook the fields and are a stunning location for the morning of any wedding. They really are very special.
The estate is a wonderful location for any wedding. We are so proud to work with them.
Recommended Suppliers for Wedding Dresses by Greentrees Estate
We are delighted to announce we are the recommended suppliers for Greentrees Estate. We couldn’t be happier. The staff here go above and beyond to ensure perfection down to the last tiny detail. Janie and Gemma were showing the couples around and they were more than happy to answer any questions, ensuring all the suppliers were happy. This proves just how attentive they are in everything they do for their suppliers, and importantly their guests and bridal parties.
A select few suppliers were showcasing their work to couples who had booked their visit, many of whom, had already booked their wedding here.
Vix the amazing photographer from @vp_photography_worthing suggested we take photos of one of the suppliers in one of my dresses so we asked Lauren from @ambiencewestsussex, she’s a wedding and event stylist and we’d met her lots of times in the past at wedding fayres. She had her makeup and hair done by the lovely Olivia from @oliviamillsmua and looked amazing. We took photos of her in the dress ‘Victoria’ in front of the fabulous flowers from florist Tony @tonydunnflowers and the gorgeous green and white gold balloons by Megan from @megsmoments8. Bella from @arabellafloral gave Lauren a bouquet too. This was a fantastic opportunity for us all to showcase our amazing products and services. All of the suppliers were absolutely fantastic and Lauren made a stunning bride.
We asked Janie, the general manager at Greentrees about the showcase, who was kind enough to give us the following quote.
“We invite newly engaged and booked couples to Greentrees, this helps the team build relationships and encourages couples to understand the Estate and how it will work for them on their big day. Most importantly we introduce couples to our preferred suppliers, whom we recommend and are positioned as part of the extended team here at Greentrees Estate.”
“Cath Adam @ The Bride Shop is a consummate professional who ensures all the couples she encounters feel she puts their wishes, hopes, and desires at the heart of her advice and recommendations. She has managed to stock her business with a very diverse range for all ages, shapes, and sizes from contemporary to classic. Cath’s superpower is engaging with people… it should be fun, building trust and encouraging them to explore and enjoy their journey to the “dress” or outfit that they truly desire.”
“The team at Greentrees and all our suppliers work in the same way, building relationships with our couples to ensure every event we produce is bespoke and truly delivers every detail of their day as they have imagined, the day that they and their friends and family can truly enjoy.”
We would like to thank Janie for including us in the showcase and electing us as one of Greentree’s recommended suppliers.
Why We're Proud to be a Recommended Supplier
It is essential for businesses such as ours to be recommended suppliers at venues like Greentrees Estate. This gives a level of trust and familiarity to the couples and bridal parties who may have already chosen their venue, but still, need to find all their other suppliers. Being spoken highly of by a venue that they are considering can help make all the difference when it comes to making their final decision on where they will purchase their dresses from.
Having this type of relationship also helps us build relationships within the local wedding industry which we value greatly and hope to benefit from in future events. We look forward to working closely with Greentrees Estate on many weddings over the coming years.
We’d like to thank everyone involved in our visit to Greentrees Estate Wedding Showcase – we had an amazing time and met some wonderful people! We were so proud to showcase our wonderful dresses and can't wait to welcome many of these bridal parties to our boutique to help them find the perfect dress!
