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!

Meols Hall Tithe Barn

The Tithe Barn is situated among the grounds of the 12th-century Meols Hall in the pretty village of Churchtown. The Barn is full of rustic charm and has been sympathetically restored by local craftsmen using traditional methods.

Also on site is the tastefully restored original coach house with its large French doors, which open out onto the picturesque traditional cobbled courtyard, with Shepherds Hut bar, heated parasol, patio tables, chairs and outdoor lanterns. This makes an ideal year-round outdoor/indoor venue for entertaining guests, as well as a great place to relax and enjoy welcome drinks and canapés.

Ceremonies take place in the Tithe Barn accompanied by a minimum of 50 and maximum of 120 guests. The 400-year-old candlelit Barn has a special atmosphere making for a romantic ceremony space.

Wedding breakfasts too take place in the Tithe Barn for 50 to 120 loved ones. Capacity for the evening do increases to 150.

The venue can provide a complete package of catering, bar service, master of ceremonies and entertainment.
