Westbury Manor Brides

My wedding date is getting close. When did you meet with your BM to make final selections on food and linens?

Re: Westbury Manor Brides

They call about two months before. I'm the beginning of May and I just met with them a week or two ago!

Re: Westbury Manor Brides

There weren't THAT many colors for linens. There was like an ivory swirl print, which is pretty, and I remember a burgundy and maybe a gold? I can't even really remember. MY BMs are in dark purple so nothing matched except the ivory.
The napkins had all different colors but nothing matched really well again except the ivory. I remember black napkins, pale green, etc.
Sorry that's not that helpful!

For the chairs they said they are brand new chiavarri. I'm in the Garden Room so I don't know if that would vary if you have the manor room. They do tie an ivory sash on them they said but no covers.

Re: Westbury Manor Brides

Also, I found them helpful with the menu. We came in there thinking we had it picked out but since I'm no event planner I left out one category that they said we should be sure to have and we revised it right there. It was really nice and I did not feel rushed at all.

One more thing - I asked them to change one thing on the dinner menu and I felt bad about being a pain but they did it no problem and even added a pasta dish in place of it for me!

Thank You for the information

I wish they had more colors for the linen

What change did you make to get a pasta course? I think it would be nice but I don't want the extra cost.

FH and I are going to start planning the menu but at least I know not to go to crazy, I am sure WM will make sure we have a good variety.
Thanks again for the info.

There was no extra cost, I asked them to remove something from the dinner menu. I didn't even expect them to replace it with anything because there would still be 6 choices! It's not a separate course, just a change in the options.

I could be remembering not completely right about the linens too it all seems like such a blur lately. Especially because none matched my colors I didn't really remember.

Great info! I thought the linen colors were white, ivory and gold am I wrong?

Also, they won't provide chair covers? I have seen photos of weddings with white chair covers and sashes and am so curious as I would LOVE to have white chair covers for our day.

They probably did away with the covers because they got new chiavarri chairs.

Table cloth colors from what I have seen on the web site are white, ivory, gold,light pink, burgundy and forest green. I am not sure if they still use them all.
They should have a larger selection of napkins colors but I don't know.

Ah okay that makes sense. Will they allow you to buy and put them on?? I do really like the chairs but they are gold and my wedding is gonna be white, silvers and splashes of ice blue and I don't think that is gonna go at all...
