September/October 2022 |
|
After months, even years, of reading my excited babble about our dear CWM colleague Melissa’s wedding day, you may be relieved to hear that it finally happened, and what a day it was! I’ll leave the storytelling to the bride herself, as you can read all about it from page 111, but I would like to impart a little of my own bridesmaid’s wisdom centred around the morning preparations. These moments were the highlight for me, and it’s a part of the day often overlooked amongst the hubbub of wedding planning, so…
- Be as organised as you possibly can in the lead up. This way, you’ll have very little to worry about on the day. Admittedly, Melissa’s abilities in this area are superhuman, but knowing we weren’t allowed into the venue to set up until 10am she’d put together individual boxes containing everything each reception table needed. All we had to do when we arrived was unpack them in the right place. We were done in no time, stress free and ready to be beautified.
- When you have your trial, be sure to discuss with your hair and make-up artists the morning’s timings. Understanding whether there’ll be any travel time to the ceremony involved; or restrictions such as when you’re allowed entry to the venue, if you’re getting ready there, will help them work out where they should be up to and when. Melissa’s team had everything running like clockwork in a very tight time frame.
- Enjoy every moment. I can’t explain how special these few hours spent with our bride were. Chaotic and gone in a flash, but oh-so precious. I spent a significant proportion of it in tears and I could probably count the number of times I’ve happy cried prior to this on one hand! As we waited for Melissa to be called in to see the registrar, only the four of us remained in the cottage, and a hush descended for the first time that day as the bride centred herself and absorbed the enormity of what was about to happen. I swear I’ll never forget that time, my heart nearly beat right out of my chest with love for my amazing friends.
My point is this: devote some of your planning time to the morning preparations and when your photographer offers you the option of capturing them, take them up on it. You won’t regret it, promise.
Now, while I leave you and mull over what on Earth I’m going to regale you with now the wedding is over, I hope you enjoy this issue. It’s bursting at the seams with inspiration! We’ve taken a look into the world of outdoor weddings and put together some wedding transport tips.
Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Talhenbont Hall
Talhenbont Hall is a family-owned estate, built in 1607 it’s steeped in history and romance as it was constructed by William Vaughan as a wedding present for his new wife, Ann.
Nestled in the Welsh countryside on the Llyn Peninsula, Talhenbont Hall is surrounded by stunning grounds, which feature an ancient woodland and formal gardens. The River Dwyfach runs through the estate and there’s even a tennis court on site. What’s more, you’re only two miles from the sea.
You have the choice of several locations for your ceremony. The Vaughan Room, situated in the Elizabethan manor house can host 50 of your nearest and dearest. For slightly larger numbers, Cromwell Hall boasting original beams and an original Minton Floor can host 70. The Grade II listed Coach House with its original features and modern twists can accommodate 150 loved ones for the “I dos.”
Finally, for al fresco vows there’s the pergoda overlooking the ancient woodland and the River Dwyfach. The seating is amphitheatre-style giving your guests a fantastic view.
Perfect for intimate celebrations, the Vaughan Room can host 30 for a wedding breakfast. It’s a muted room with a beautiful fireplace, meanwhile the historical Cromwell Hall can accommodate 70 for the reception. For a bigger bash, there’s space in the Coach House for 150 (200 for the evening). A gorgeous place to host your wedding breakfast, it boasts magnificent chandeliers and bi-fold windows looking out over the ancient woodland. It also features a bar hand-built by the owner using wood from the estate.
The estate also features five charming cottages, where there’s sleeping accommodation for 42 with plenty more available locally for further guests. The beautiful bridal suite is located in the manor house, and boasts a free-standing bath and four-poster bed.
