March/April 2022 |
| |
Who else can’t believe it’s springtime already? It’s such a special time of year and in 2022 we all get to appreciate it so much more given the last two we’ve spent locked up! This issue we’ve got the usual blend of wedspiration from real weddings to expert advice and ideas including a look into the delicious world of showstopping wedding cakes. We’ve also got some glittering ideas for finishing off your big-day look with jewellery and accessories.
Speaking of wedding glam, CWM’s very own bride Melissa has been turning her attention to her best gals and we’ve now got our dresses, if not in our hands then on order. It was a bumpy ride, but thanks to Melissa’s unending patience, we got there. We’re now looking at the even more fun stuff such as accessories, shoes, hair and make-up, which has led myself, my fellow bridesmaids and the bride herself to ponder the matter of just whose job it is to foot the bill for the glam? This in no small part is due to the fact that none of us seem able to get the lovely Melissa to take one single penny from us towards it. So, when Fragrance Direct told me they’d teamed up with wedding planer Hannah Rose to discuss just this matter, I was all ears!
Thinking about the glam bill, Fragrance Direct asked Hannah whether it was the nearlyweds’ responsibility to pay for everyone or just themselves? She answered unequivocally, “Definitely everyone. If they’ve asked for people to be part of their day, the majority of the time this will fall to the couple to pay. Otherwise, their loved ones may be put off joining the wedding party. Some bridesmaids and groomsmen might be happy to contribute, but it’s always encouraged that the couple plan this into their budget and offer to pay for the basics such as hair and make-up if they want them to have it done. The cost will vary depending on the hair stylist and make-up artist, but I’d advise to allocate a minimum of £150-£200 per person for anyone who isn’t the bride or groom.” So, there we have it. We shall immediately cease arguing with the bride and accept her kindness gracefully.
Enjoy and keeeep planning!

The Racquet Club
Located in Liverpool’s commercial district, The Racquet Club is perfectly positioned for both access to public transport and parking facilities. Close to the famous Waterfront it offers a beautiful and iconic location for your wedding day. It has eight bedrooms, which are individually decorated in a combination of traditional and contemporary styles.
Built in 1859 by Sir James Picton as the headquarters for Sir William Brown, an American shipping merchant, its form is that of an Italianate palazzo. Carved plaques above the windows include Isabella I, Columbus, Bermejo, Vespucci, Cortez, Queen Anacoana and Francisco Pizarro. The venue is delightfully furnished with an eclectic mix of modern and traditional pieces along with an extensive collection of original artwork.
Ceremonies are hosted in the Main Room (130 guests) or the Restaurant (100 guests). But, there is a choice of more intimate spaces for the “I dos” too in the shape of the Club Room (25 guests) or Private Dining Room (25 guests).
When it comes to the celebrations the same four spaces are available depending on the size of your guest list. For receptions the Main Room can hold 138 loved ones, the Restaurant has a capacity of 100, the Club Room has space for 40 and the private dining room can host a wedding breakfast for 24. Speaking of which, the venue offers a free tasting session for you both. Capacity throughout the venue for the evening reception is 250.

| The way to wellbeing |
| |
While undeniably wonderful and rewarding, planning your wedding day could well be one of the most stressful things you'll ever do. So, with another string to her bow, celebrant Jen Walker of Chester-based JW Ceremonies also works with couples to guide them through this trying time, not just the planning process but also that challenging transition from fiance to spouse. Her goal is to ensure that this is the time of her clients' lives – as magical and stress free as possible. Jen says, "Weddings can lead to burn-out, anxiety and friction within relationships, so being prepared for the project that lies ahead and noticing when you're becoming overwhelmed is key. After all, no one wants sleepless nights, coldsores and wedding jitters in the run up to the big day."
