The latest edition of Your Hampshire & Dorset Wedding magazine is packed with up-to-the-minute products, news, reviews and advice to help you create your perfect wedding. Keeping it local, we’re exploring venues around the New Forest to discover where to wed in this picturesque national park and if you've pictured exchanging vows in a stunning location by the sea or riverside, then our Waterside & Coastal Venues feature is an unmissable read.
We also turn the spotlight on showstopping big-day bakes in our Cakes feature packed with droolworthy creations from some of the region's talented bakers, plus we've caught up with local florists in our special Flowers showcase of beautiful bouquets & blooms for fragrance, colour and natural beauty. There’s a wealth of other top tips and expert advice too, to help you create your dream day. | |

Emirates Spinnaker Tower
The Spinnaker Tower is an impressive landmark on the Portsmouth skyline. Situated on the waterfront at Gunwharf Quays, it’s a go-to destination for a wedding to remember. The elegant tower offers amazing 350-degree panoramic seascapes, breathtaking by day and a glittering sea of lights at night.
You can tie the knot on View Deck 2, located at 105 metres above sea level, with floor-to-ceiling windows and views stretching up to 23 miles out across the Solent, joined by 70 of your nearest and dearest. Celebrate afterwards on View Deck 1, with up to 100 guests for fine dining and dare them to walk across the thrilling glass floor sky walk.
The Waterfront Café on the ground floor is ideal for the evening do, with great harbour views you can have a disco or live music and party the night away with up to 200 loved ones. You can even change the tower’s lighting so the harbour will be bathed in your colour of choice.
