Dress Exhibition & Open Day
In a relaxed environment, surrounded by our friendly team, The Buttery & Glasshouse invites you to this unique three-in-one open day: enjoy a wedding dress exhibition, meet a selection of suppliers and tour the venue.
- The Exhibition - The Glasshouse will be transformed into a Bridgerton-inspired showcase. The space will feature wedding dresses and suits generously lent to us by couples who have celebrated their special day at The Buttery & Glasshouse. Each piece has been chosen not only for its beauty and individuality, but for the meaningful story behind it.
- Meet the suppliers - A selection of suppliers will be on hand to share with couples new trends, best colour pallets, candid photo opportunities and flavours that are guests favourites.
- Tour the entire venue - From our hotel bedrooms to the ceremony space, then relax on the terrace with a drink in hand, browsing photo albums and magazines for inspiration.

The dress exhibition
A celebration of style & story
The exhibition is a collation of love, personal style and the treasured memories created at The Buttery & Glasshouse – honouring the weddings that have filled our venue with joy.
Displayed throughout the venue, each wedding outfit will be exhibited alongside photographs from their big day, as well as a personal message sharing the story behind the attire.
Completing each display, a bespoke bouquet, created by Chic Weddings, to complement each look alongside the garment, adding another layer of detail.
“This special open day is a world of romance, storytelling and timeless style, a special exhibition celebrating the real love stories shared at our venue.”
