Sustainable weddings
Sustainability continues to shape the wedding industry, with couples making eco-conscious choices that reflect their values.
Vintage & up-cycled décor: Incorporating vintage elements, second-hand wedding dresses, and repurposed decor not only reduces waste but also adds unique charm.
Green spaces: Venues like Fulham Palace, with its lush walled gardens, provide a breathtaking backdrop for environmentally conscious celebrations.
Intimate, micro-weddings
Smaller weddings remain a popular choice, with guest lists under 50 offering a more personal and memorable experience. These events often feature luxurious details and bespoke entertainment to make each guest feel truly special. Fulham Palace’s versatile spaces are perfect for intimate gatherings, from our atmospheric great hall to the serene chaplain’s garden marquee.
