Jane Leisteiner
We already know that a bed and breakfast is the perfect spot for a honeymoon, but they are also a spectacular setting for an intimate wedding. The scenery, the dcor and the experience of a seasoned innkeeper can make planning that special day as much fun as the day itself. Here are some especially romantic suggestions.
Nature-Filled Settings
Nestled in a forest of pine trees, the wedding chapel at Mulvehill Creek Wilderness Inn boasts incredible scenery and privacy. Located in British Columbia, this Canadian gem, with its mountain and forest views, is a perfect wedding spot for nature lovers. The innkeepers can help arrange everything from photography to flowers to wedding cakes to planning the rehearsal dinner. For your wedding night, the inn's honeymoon suite includes a fireplace and Jacuzzi tub.
Wedding Chapel Provides Quaint, Country Setting
If you are an old-fashioned girl and envision a nostalgic setting, then Capps Cove Bed and Breakfast in northern Alabama may be your perfect match. Located 30 miles north of Birmingham, this bed and breakfast in Oneonta features a small wedding chapel with an antique pump organ. Outside the chapel is framed by a white picket fence and a large red barn hosts the wedding reception. With over 21 acres there are many photo opportunities to capture memories of this special day. The Honeymoon cabin completes the old-fashioned event with a romantic stone fireplace to snuggle up in front of as well as cathedral ceilings and antique furnishings for your wedding night!
Plan a Secluded Island Wedding
Greyfield Inn on Cumberland Island in Georgia is a beautiful and tender spot for your special day. There is a small clapboard chapel surrounded by wildflowers and vines down the road for exchanging your vows. The Greyfield Inn, built back in 1900 by Thomas Carnegie for their daughter, continues to be run by their family a century later. It is truly a magnificent mansion with unique antiques and a strong Southern tradition to host your memorable wedding reception.
Historic Carpenter Gothic Chapel
A horse-drawn carriage carries you and your groom from a picturesque historic Carpenter-Gothic chapel to an elegant reception where family and friends await to toast to your nuptials. If this sounds like a perfect setting for you, the romantic Whitestone Country Inn in Kingston, Tenn., can make this dream a reality. Couples can marry in a historic chapel or opt for an outdoor gazebo wedding with stunning lake views. The innkeepers can help plan your special day, including the reception, which can be held outdoors or in a variety of elegant, indoor settings. There are plenty of special rooms and suites for the honeymoon night, as well.
A Texas Bed and Breakfast Wedding
Make happy wedding memories at Texas' Roseland Plantation, located on a former cotton plantation. The wedding chapel, which boasts a steeple, features antique church pews and stained glass. Receptions can be held in the 1850s ballroom, and you and your guests can stay at the Windsor House Bed and Breakfast, which is part of the property. The guest rooms are filled with period antiques and romantic dcor, a perfect spot for that honeymoon night.
