We've got a whole world of beauty and inspiration for you this issue! As you may know, wedding florals is one of my favourite things to talk about, so this issue our experts and I put our thinking caps on to come up with the year’s top trends when it comes to styling your weddings with fabulous flowers. Just when you think these features couldn’t get any more gorgeous, each year brings something new! So, don’t miss it from page 45.
While my head was swimming with questions, I decided to interrogate some of the region’s photographers! We’ve challenged them with all the common queries you guys come up with and we hope you’ll find their answers super useful on your quest to find your perfect match to capture the big day. Check out the feature from page 39.
Here at Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding, we’ve been enjoying the lighter nights and the sun, which is starting to show its face, so I’ve given the Hot Topic feature (page 48) a springtime twist this issue. Here, our experts discuss bringing a seasonal vibe to your wedding day.
Along with our usual plethora of real weddings and top tips, there’s plenty to aid your planning this issue. So, as ever, enjoy and keeeep planning!

The Barn at Yew Tree Farm
Set on the rural outskirts of Liverpool, this family-run working farm can be found nestled among 25 acres of greenbelt countryside. The 300-yearold barn has been sensitively renovated to maintain its rustic charm and simple elegance. Connecting to this is a new timber clad extension, which is home to the bar and lounge area to add a touch of comfort and sophistication.
From the large windows of The Barn, you’ll see that it stands within a working farmyard and surrounded by green fields where the alpacas and sheep graze. It has its own private, lawned area where guests can enjoy a drink and relax in the evening sun. The farm provides an array of rustic and industrial backdrops as well as the vast open spaces of the fi elds.
The 300-year-old Meadow Barn with high ceilings, exposed brick and original wooden beams offers your day the ultimate wow factor for 80 of your loved ones.
Alternatively, The Orchard Room is the perfect space for intimate ceremonies witnessed by 20 nearest and dearest. It’s closed off by grand wooden barn doors, while the bifold doors open fully to lead into the private garden, letting the outside in.
The Meadow Barn is also the location for receptions. It can be set up for 80 diners with traditional round tables or with charming wooden trestle tables banqueting style. The interior doors open up, allowing the space to fl ow through into the Orchard Room and spacious bar. The mezzanine makes a great viewpoint for guests and photographers alike. It can host 140 for the evening do.
The venue offers a free wine tasting session for its couples.
