About Cedar Court Harrogate
Location: Park Parade, Harrogate
Website: cedarcourthotels.co.uk
Cedar Court Hotel Harrogate is a Grade II listed Georgian building that sits right next to The Stray, one of Harrogate’s prettiest green spaces. It’s elegant, historic, and full of character, but still has that modern Yorkshire warmth that keeps everything feeling relaxed.
If you’ve chosen Cedar Court Hotel Harrogate for your wedding, you’ve picked one of Yorkshire’s most classic venues — and one that photographs beautifully. It’s elegant without being over the top, filled with natural light and warm tones, and has that quiet charm that just makes you feel looked after.
I’ve worked here a few times now, and what I love most is how versatile it is. You can lean fully into timeless soft glam, or bring something alternative and moody, both look stunning against the Georgian architecture and golden interiors.
So whether you’re the kind of soon-to-be-wed who wants glowy skin and soft lashes, or the one who’s bringing dark romance and a killer lip, Cedar Court can hold both energies perfectly.
Soon-to-be-wed look ideas
1) The Soft Glam Classic
Velvety skin, neutral eyes, and a nude lip with a slight sheen. Simple, modern, and never goes out of style.
2) The Vintage Muse
Matte base, winged liner, blushed cheeks, and a bold lip (red or berry). Perfect for soon-to-be-weds who love a little retro influence with a polished finish.
3) The Modern Romantic
Glowing skin, soft shimmer, and barely-there contour — ethereal and elegant, especially under candlelight at evening receptions.
Getting ready at Cedar Court
The wedding-party prep rooms here are a dream — tall windows, big mirrors, and the kind of light that makes your skin look flawless before I’ve even started.
