January/February 2023

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

As we welcome 2023, there are no January blues here as I’m excited to see what this following year will bring. One thing is for sure, more showstopping nuptials!

I can’t wait to see weddings feature Pantone’s colour of the year, viva magenta. The shade will undoubtedly impact the wedding industry thanks to its powerful and empowering hue.

Congratulations if you’ve got engaged over the festive period! If I could share one piece of advice for wedding planning, it would be to ensure the day reflects you both and don’t get sidetracked by trying to please others. This should be a fun experience where you find a colour scheme and theme you both love before searching for talented companies who can bring your vision to life.

There’s a reason traditional weddings have been popular for decades. The classic styling, grand venues and traditional attire will always create elegant nuptials year-round. But expect to see more couples breaking away from tradition in 2023 and pushing the boundaries to create their dream day.

If you don’t know where to start with wedding planning, you’re in luck as we’ve been busy sourcing the very best local suppliers to provide top inspiration. Expect to see talented florists, photographers, bakers, videographers, venue stylists and more. We’ve gathered caterers to help us create the ultimate guide to wedding catering with everything from canapés, traditional wedding breakfasts, barbecues, food trucks and mobile bars – you’ll find something to match your special day and keep loved ones from going hungry. We also have a feature dedicated to helping brides-to-be look and feel their best. Here you’ll find make-up artists, hairstylists, bridal boutiques and jewellers. That’s all from me! I hope you enjoy reading this magazine as much as I‘ve loved putting it together.

Here’s to another year of fabulous weddings!

Warbrook House

As couples reach the end of the tree-lined driveway, they’ll fall in love with Warbrook House and its stunning surroundings.

The magnificent Grade I listed mansion is set on 121 acres of Grade II listed gardens, complete with a Versailles-style canal that provides the perfect backdrop to photographs.

Licensed for indoor and outdoor ceremonies with the option to hire the venue exclusively, couples are sure to create their dream day. Exchange vows alongside 120 people in The Stapleton James Suite, which boasts neutral décor to suit all colour schemes and themes. The beautiful chandeliers add a touch of glamour, while the white chiffon ceiling drapes and fairylights create a magical atmosphere. Or why not opt for The Drawing Room, which can host up to 60 loved ones? The area’s perfect for celebrations with an inviting environment, lots of natural daylight, views of the canal and direct access to the outside garden. For more intimate ceremonies, The Canal View offers a stunning setting for 50 people. Located outside of the beautiful mansion, The Summer Pavilion has a capacity of 120 people and provides the ideal space to say “I do” surrounded by stunning gardens and historic trees.

Wedding breakfasts with 120 people are held in The Stapleton James, which offers flexible floor plan options due to its generous size. The room is fully air-conditioned to help guests remain comfortable and is closely situated to the main bar.

Continue the celebrations in The Lounge with 150 guests. The well-situated space can accommodate entertainment to help keep guests in one place. After dancing the night away, loved ones can retreat to the 70 on-site bedrooms instead of worrying about travelling home.

Couples who book the venue for their wedding will be offered a complimentary menu-tasting session and a night’s stay in the honeymoon suit.
