Blending historic charm with contemporary elegance, the hotel features 80 beautifully appointed rooms and a separate Mews, rich in original character and offering the perfect balance of modern luxury and refined comfort. Over the decades, the hotel’s experienced team has seen countless wedding trends come and go, yet timeless luxury and exceptional service never go out of style. Drawing on this wealth of experience, the team at Bedford Lodge Hotel & Spa has revealed its top predictions for weddings in 2026. The team believe couples are embracing maximalism, celebrating colour, and moving away from overly themed or ‘Pinterest-perfect’ weddings. Instead, they are opting for local luxury and celebrations closer to home, favouring relaxed elegance, and delighting guests with an array of indulgent sweet treats.
