This wedding season, it's all about "the scene". Though there's much to love about embroidered veils and Swiss meringue, modern lovers know that such sweet details don't hold a candle to the destination. We've seen stately homes and city halls, overseas vows and week-long nuptials; now, secret gardens are having a moment. Here, we present venues for utterly wholesome at-home weddings in Britain's loveliest lawns: think Father of the Bride on home soil.
