Bridal Suite
In 2020, we were able to renovate, and we knew that we wanted to provide the most fabulous suite for our sweet brides and their bridesmaids. We wanted to create a space not only for preparation but for relaxation and for the enjoyment of this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Our brides who have enjoyed it have said we accomplished our goals. The suite features a counter with adjustable seats and mirrors for hair and makeup, a kitchen with a full-sized fridge for you to stock with mimosa ingredients and an island to have luncheon trays catered in, a screen porch to relax on, and two restrooms exclusively for bridal party use.
You will also find plenty of space to hang your bridesmaid’s dresses as well as an especially high hook to hang your wedding gown on in a dedicated bride’s room complete with full-length mirror, comfy upholstered chair and mini chandeliers. It’s everything you’ll need to get ready for pictures and your big day.

PhotoLocations
All of our couples are welcome to use both the house and the garden for engagement shoots and bridal portrait sessions as well as – of course – their day-of photos. Not only are our east-facing windows in the bride and groom’s suites ideal for indoor photography, but we have a number of beautiful outdoor locations available including:
- The Jasmine Arch – a lush 8-foot arched trellis over the garden entrance, covered in evergreen confederate jasmine. Its summer blooms are beautiful and fragrant.
- The Water Wheel – fully-operational wooden wheel that brings the sound of running water to your garden events and is flanked by a spacious wooden deck with a beautiful hedgerow.
- The Balcony – an ideal location for couples’ photos that allows for the tradition of the groom not seeing the bride before the ceremony.
- The Pecan Grove – perfect for photos with your attendants. The circular drive is filled with 90-year-old pecan trees and bordered by beautiful pink Knock Out® roses and crape myrtles.
- The Pergola – the house’s front entrance–highlighted by café lights and covered in jasmine, it provides a gorgeous backdrop for going-away and evening shots.
- The Carriage Shed – for a more rustic-looking background, this weathered wooden building housed carriages in the early 20th century and is now the home base for an antique tractor.
- The Mill Stone – Much of Lexington County’s history started here at the Corley Mill House. Our garden contains one of the limestone millstones from the mill that sat on Highway 378 for many decades.
