GLEN YR AFON WEDDING

Bethan and Lawrence

In July 2022, Bethan and Lawrence finally had their Glen Yr Afon Wedding with Bailey the dog, Jazz on the Lawn and the best family and friends. I met Bethan and Lawrence for their engagement shoot earlier in the year – check it out here – where we went for a sunset walk by the Welsh sea with their wonderful dog Bailey. 

Their wedding was at a lovely local church and then for their reception we all headed over to Glen Yr Afon Hotel. Their ceremony really was a beautiful service complete with their lovely dog Bailey being their ring bearer. We headed outside for some photos with him after and a huge amount of confetti along with their family.

Bethan and Lawrence decided on a beautiful soft purple and pastels theme with gorgeous pops of lavender. The reception room at Glen Yr Afon looked absolutely stunning. Bethan had also made the most wonderful cake toppers of the two of them along with their cats and Bailey the dog as a surprise to Lawrence! They were a brilliant hit with the guests and Lawrence!

Glen Yr Afon have a lovely reception and evening room which is the perfect setting for a party. Bethan and Lawrence decided they wanted to surprise their friends and family with a full on routine for their first dance! They had planned this to include some of their close friends flash mob style towards the end. It was brilliant and took everyone by surprise, it really set the party in motion too.

Tips from this Glen Yr Afon wedding to take to yours:

  • Consider having some music during your wedding reception. Bethan and Lawrence had Jazz on the lawn for this wedding. It was such a unique event and created a wonderful atmosphere for the afternoon. It got people dancing on the lawn way before the evening disco. 
  • If you have a pet dog why not considering bringing them along for part of your day. Having your furry friend for some portraits always goes down well and you won’t regret it! Look into dog sitters who can bring them along and look after them for the day for you.
  • Have you thought about having a routine for your first dance? Nothing beats getting friends involved too.
