March/April 2023

 
To quote one of my favourite movies, Miss Congeniality and Rhode Island’s Cheryl, when asked to describe her perfect date: “I’d have to say April 25th. Because it’s not too hot, not too cold, all you need is a light jacket.” While hilarious in the context of the film, I do have to agree with her, because she’s perfectly described how I’ve always felt about spring. Anyone who knows me is well aware that I hate, hate, hate hot weather; and while I love the winter, the dark nights can get you down. So, for me spring is the ideal happy medium: not too hot, not too cold. And that’s before we even get started on everything else it brings such as the beauty of new life and the joy of Easter. In short, what a wonderful time of year for a wedding!

We’re particularly blessed in Britain with definition in our seasons so we get to experience spring in all it’s glory where so many countries around world don’t get to enjoy its subtleties in quite the same way. This is when British blooms come into their own. Think of the oh-so on trend loose wildflower style of bouquet bursting with anemones, tulips, sweet peas, narcissi and ranuculus, not forgetting the eternally popular wedding flower, peonies. Aisle runners featuring the same create the ambience of walking barefoot through a meadow and when transferred to the reception tables they create that wonderful soft English country garden feel. Why not take inspiration for your wedding palette from the hues found in nature throughout the spring months? Lemon, blush, peach, lavender, sage green... the list goes on. What’s more, this year’s Pantone colour of the year Viva Magenta is so versatile it works beautifully alongside pastels as a bold accent.

I could go on, but I’ll leave it to the local professionals as they share their springtime wedding ideas over in Hot Topic from page 55.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Talenbont Hall

Built in 1607, Talhenbont Hall is a privately run, family-owned estate nestled in the Welsh countryside on the Llyn Peninsula.

The Hall itself is a 17th-century Elizabethan manor house, accompanied by a Grade II listed coach house and five charming cottages, which are dotted around the estate. There is sleeping accommodation for 42 people on site with plenty of alternatives locally for those unable to stay at Talhenbont. There’s also a beautiful bridal suite situated in the manor house, which boasts a free-standing bath and four-poster bed.

The Coach House Terrace was a new addition for 2022. A stunning space with a modern twist, the Terrace boasts a firepit, fabulous views of the River Dwyfach and ancient woodland. Couples love this al fresco spot and it’s ideal for drinks receptions. What’s more, the estate’s grounds and gardens are simply stunning and offer endless photo opportunities.

You have the choice of three ceremony spaces, inside and out. Cromwell Hall is a gorgeous historical room boasting original beams and Minton floor. It can accommodate 70 loved ones to witness your vows.

The Coach House can hold 150. A Grade II listed structure, it has plenty of original features to show off, alongside a modern twist with glamorous chandeliers and windows.

The Pergoda overlooks ancient woodland and the River Dwyfach. Seating here is amphitheatre style, meaning all of your loved ones have a fabulous view as you say “I do.”

The Coach House hosts receptions and with oodles of natural light it’s a gorgeous place to enjoy your wedding breakfast. A large bi-fold window at the back looks out over the ancient woodland. It can welcome 150 for dining and 200 for the evening do. Talhenbont Hall offers a complimentary food and wine tasting where bespoke menus are devised after you’ve sampled your preferences.
