Top Tips for your Wedding Day Attire

We should declare openly that at Belair Park Country Club we are experts in hosting weddings rather than necessarily bridal gown design etc.
Even so, our extensive experience in luxury weddings means that we have learned a few things over the years when talking to brides, grooms and sometimes their families.
So, here a few basic reminders in terms of those little things you may need to think about with your wedding day clothes:


1. Most brides understandably love to keep their wedding dress on as long as they can.  Remember though that if you are planning to spend quite a few hours in your dress, it needs to be practical and comfortable.

2. This isn’t just a female issue!  Grooms in tight-fitting formal suits that feel bearable in the morning, may need to remember that they might be spending an entire day so dressed and doing a fair bit of eating, drinking and dancing.

3. Keep a pair of dancing shoes to hand if you are wearing particularly adventurous heels on your bridal shoes.  If you don’t, you may find you need to use either bare feet or dance with your heart in your mouth!

4. Remember the heat when selecting your clothes.  Of course, all our internal spaces are fully equipped with air-conditioning but you’ll want to take advantage of some of our beautiful vistas outside for your photographs etc.  Overly-heavy, even if beautiful, clothes outside at certain times of the year may make you feel very uncomfortable very quickly.

5. Think about recommending to your guests that they bring a change of clothes for younger children.  However strong the parental warnings to the contrary might be, most young children will be running around and doing their own thing at the earliest opportunity. It might be a pity if those pristine wedding day suites and dresses quickly get covered in various forms of ‘detritus’.
We hope the above proves helpful!

The Country Club, Adelaide and Privilege

What does the idea of a ‘Country Club’ mean to you?

Sadly, to some this term still suggests images of crests, old school ties, wealth, oak panelling, privilege, stuffiness and exclusivity in the ‘closed shop’ sense.

Of course, whatever might be the case elsewhere, at the Belair Park Country Club nothing could be further from the truth.

In terms of a country club, Adelaidehas in ‘The Belair’ an establishment that prides itself both on its facilities and quality of service.  We don’t compromise on either but our objective is to make our guests and
clients feel at home and valued.

What we don’t have is pretension or snobbery.  We don’t see any conflict in the idea of being relaxed, friendly and informal, whilst at the same time maintaining the highest standards of professional etiquette and service.

Whether you’re using our facilities for a relatively small-scale social event, a large wedding or a huge corporate conference, you can be sure that we’ll be able to provide you with unrivalled services and a surrounding environment that just can’t be beaten given that it’s a National Park.

However, we know that our past performance counts for nothing. What our clients expect and demand is service in line with their current and future needs and that just can’t be faulted – not lengthy stories of how well we’ve served others in the past.

That’s why we invite you to either call us for a discussion of your requirements or even better, if it’s convenient for you, to come along and meet us face to face.  You’ll see how friendly and efficient we are and just how we can help you to make a success of your event – whatever it might be.

What we guarantee you won’t see are examples of elitism or any other of those ‘old images’ we mentioned at the outset.

Seeing us in person will help to convince you about our facilities and the nature of our fantastic country club. Adelaidedeserves the very best and we’re proud to provide it.
