May/June 2023

 
As I write the nation is excitedly anticipating the coronation of King Charles III. Whether you’re a royalist, or merely delighted at the prospect of an extra bank holiday, there’ll be something to celebrate. At least for the foreseeable future, May will be the month we commemorate the King’s jubilees, so we’re ready to party. Although you may be royaled-out by the time you read this, I always think of our readers as queens and kings, princesses and princes, and believe you all deserve the royal treatment on your big day, so why not consider adding a regal edge to your nuptials?

Jewel-toned colour palettes are certainly seeing a surge in popularity, thanks to their opulent, rich hues; and shades such as purple and red have long been associated with royalty. When it comes to dining, think banqueting tables bedecked in gold cutlery and crystal, with tall candelabra and centrepieces. Of course, add this styling to a
stately home wedding venue and you’re there!

When it comes to your attire, what could be more royal than a ballgown? Pair a full, extravagant skirt with a dramatic train and veil, and you’ll have guests gasping as you make your grand entrance. If you like this idea, but fear the volume will impede you on the dancefloor, opt for a detachable skirt, allowing you to transform your look into a sleek silhouette for the evening. Finally, your very own crown is a must-have for this theme, whether it’s a flower version for a
Queen Titania twist or a bejewelled tiara.

As we now patiently await the summer, don’t miss our host of real weddings this issue. Plus, the region’s photographers are on hand to let you know what to expect from them pre, during and post the big day (page 43). In the spirit of the season, we’ve also put together a stunning showcase of this year’s hottest palettes expressed through fabulous floral ideas (page 49).

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Set in more than 100 acres of rolling Cheshire countryside, it overlooks a stunning six-acre lake and boasts a number of sensational options for your wedding ceremony and reception.

ou’re spoilt for choice for ceremony locations here, with five licensed outdoor spaces offering capacities up to 150: The Terrace, The Jetty, The Folly, The Pergola and The Summer House.

Celebrant Jen Walker from JW Ceremonies tells us how to bring the fun to a spring wedding
 
Jen Walker from JW Ceremonies (www.jwceremonies.com) says: A springtime wedding can be the most fun! There are so many colour palettes to choose from to mix and match; both pastels and bright colours work amazingly well with the gorgeous light spring brings. People assume that summer is the perfect time for an outdoor wedding; but the truth is, with the summer sun, wedding attire for both brides and grooms in the heat, and the many seasonal insects, it can create some issues. In comparison, with all the beautiful blossom trees in bloom, the sun shining and a cool breeze – its springtime that makes the perfect outdoor wedding ceremony season! But yes, with our British weather and spring showers, you may also need a plan B to bring the outside in.
