My Dream Venue


If money was not an issue, I would get married at Thorskogs Slott. I absolutely love the setting and have not found a more beautiful wedding venue to date. The beautiful castle is surrounded by English Gardens that includes a pond where wild ducks live. This feels like me and David through and through. David is English and I've lived in England for 5 years. We love to go to the parks and look at all the wild birds. It would be lovely to be able to include these aspects of our lives on our wedding day.Everything about this venue is mind blowingly beautiful.

Thorskogs Slott have a lovely wedding arrangement that you could
buy into. Since money is not an issue in this post, I would. The arrangement is as follows:

16.00 The food is served in the Orangery . The tables are set with beautiful porcelain, linen cloths, exquisite flower arrangements by the castle's own florist and beautifully sculpted napkins.

21.00 The dinner comes to an end and the wedding party moves in to the saloons where coffee and wedding cake are served.

22.00 The Orangery has been cleared and the dance floor is opened. The first dance takes place followed by dancing and opening of the bar.
