November/December 2022

 
Hello lovely readers and welcome to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding!

I don’t know about you, but this year has flown by – I’m still not sure where the last few months have gone. As we prepare to say hello to 2023, I can’t help but reflect on the past year and what an incredible 12 months it has been with many unforgettable moments. I’m so thankful to have made so many amazing memories with loved ones after the past few years, and to finally be able to travel again to some amazing destinations.

As we enter the winter months, it’s time to welcome Christmas with open arms! The festive season is always a popular time to pop the question and if you’ve just got engaged, you’ve come to the right place. You’re in for a treat this issue, which is full of oh-so glamorous weddings and plenty of wow factor.

Don’t miss out on our photography feature if you’re at the start of your wedding journey! Here you’ll find some of our favoutire weddings from the last few issues and the talented photographers behind them. Discover beautiful pieces created with love as we focus on all things handmade, from stationery items to bespoke wedding dresses and everything in between.

This issue is packed full of advice from top experts to help make the planning process much more manageable; it doesn’t matter if you’ve just got engaged or are about to tie the knot. Every couple wants to look their big-day best on their wedding day as they’ll look back on the images for years to come. That’s why we have features dedicated to beauty, bridal fashion and attire for the grooms.

That’s all from me, have a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year!

The Royal Maritime Hotel & Club

Tie the knot at this one-of-a-kind venue and immerse in the atmosphere of the maritime city. Situated in Old Portsmouth, close to the historic dockyard and Gunwharf Quays, The Royal Maritime Hotel is steeped in history and provides an original setting for weddings with a difference. With naval artefacts and memorabilia around every corner, each function room is individually decorated to reflect the club’s history. Ceremonies and receptions can occur at this venue and, with 90 comfy en suite bedrooms for the wedding party to stay in, why not make a weekend of it and explore the city the next day? Fully licensed for weddings, pairs can exchange vows in the Trafalgar Ballroom, the property’s largest function space, and celebrate in style afterwards. Complete with full banqueting facilities, a galleried balcony, dancefloor and stage, it can accommodate up to 300 people. The smaller Nelson Lounge offers a more intimate and traditional setting, while the contemporary Below Decks is the perfect place to party in the evenings with up to 100 loved ones.

Bridal tanning tips and advice from luxury tanning brand That'So
 
Tanning can be a scary prospect for running up to your big day, and you might be feeling unsure what tan to apply and how to apply it so that it looks flawless and is in no way patchy. You might well be off wearing fake tan in the fear that it'll rub of onto your wedding dress, however, when prepped and applied correctly, a self-tan can look incredible, giving you a gorgeous sun-kissed glow for your big day. So, Nadia- Rafi Kenny from That'so Skincare and Tanning has put together her top tips and advice to help you prep and apply your tan for your special day with the help of some products in the brand's tanning range that will provide the skin with a seamless, healthy and long-lasting glow.
