Glen Mills Wedding Photography

With the warm weather finally coming back to us, I felt it was only fitting to share Alex and Brooke’s Terrain at Styers wedding from last year! If you’re a Glen Mills local, you may not realize that the plant shop across from the Target is actually a wedding venue… And not just any venue, but a true gem, hidden in plain sight. Over the years, Terrain at Styers consistently comes in hot as one of my favorite wedding venues for any season, but especially for a lush summer wedding like the Hills’.

Terrain at Styers Wedding Ceremony: Something for Everyone

There’s one word I use to describe Terrain, and that is enchanting. If you’re looking for a wedding venue that combines natural beauty with just the right amount of rustic, vintage charm… Terrain at Styers is your spot. With its stunning gardens, charming architecture, and exceptional service, this venue provides an unforgettable experience for both couples and their guests. The venue features naturally gorgeous greenery and unique indoor and outdoor spaces that any book lover, avid gardner, foodie, or….okay, yeah, ANYONE, would be 100% obsessed with.

History Meets Anthropologie at Styer’s Nursery

Weird but fun fact: Terrain at Styers is actually a historic nursery. Now owned by Anthropologie, the history of the property is what lends the authentic, rustic charm midst Philadelphia suburbia. The property has so many bespoke areas, even your rain plan will be the definition of wedding day perfect. Every corner is literally brimming with character. From the curated collection of succulents in the Hot House, the trellises covered in ivy, and the frilly, eclectic temple where your outdoor wedding ceremony will be held, Terrain at Styers is a life sized, whimsical fairy garden.

Reception: Family Style

Terrain at Styers boasts a candlelit barn-style dining room for a perfectly cozy and intimate reception. Meals are often served family style. If your wedding day is going to be defined by the food (heck yeah!) then Terrain’s culinary team is out of this world, with their dishes featuring fresh, locally sourced ingredients (shout out to Kennett Square, folks!). Each of the long, wooden farmhouse tables is outfitted with fresh florals, tapering candles, and the sweetest terracotta bread pots (IYKYK).

The staff at Terrain is skilled in creating stunning, personalized floral arrangements that tie together the overall aesthetic and truly bring about a unique feel for each event. From bridal bouquets to table centerpieces, the florals add an extra touch of magic to every detail. Couples can make use of Terrain’s curated décor options, including vintage furniture and charming accents that bring out the venue’s rustic charm. It’s a cozy but elegant feeling— your wedding will feel like home in the best way.

A Perfect Match: Stress-Free Weddings

Terrain isn’t just a pretty venue, and if I didn’t love it enough for its whimsical charm, here’s the true kicker, the number one thing I love about Terrain: they treat their couples like family. If you’ve made it this far, you might’ve realized that Brey Photo is pretty low key when it comes to a wedding day. My goal as your photographer is to keep it light, fun, and truly down to earth. My couples’ experience is my number one priority, making Terrain an incredible match for the Brey Photo experience. Terrain at Styers has exceptional service. The staff at Terrain goes above and beyond to ensure every wedding is a success and offering personalized attention to detail, meaning we can work together to not only create the perfect backdrop, but the perfect wedding day images.

The Hills’ wedding at Terrain at Styers was yet another one for the books — extraordinarily intimate, humbling, and romantic. Every moment, from the ceremony to the reception exuded beauty, love, and nature. If you’re seeking a venue that blends all the charm of a rustic farm wedding with sophistication and a little sprinkling of plant magic, Terrain at Styers is the spot. I hope to see you there! 🙂
