Hello lovely readers and welcome back to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding.
We’ve worked hard this issue to gather some of the most talented suppliers to offer tips and tricks to create memorable weddings. Expect to find plenty of big-day inspiration on each page, from stunning venue styling ideas to different entertainment options and showstopping dresses.
Make sure to flick to our real wedding features and read the heartwarming love stories from local couples. Learn what made their day stand out and all the lovely details plus memorable moments. I can’t believe we’re already more than halfway through the year; where has the time gone? Summer weddings are always stunning and allow couples to get creative to bring the outdoor areas to life with beautiful ceremony and reception spaces, snug areas, garden games and al fresco dining options.
We all know how unpredictable the weather can be in the UK. So if you’re opting for an al fresco event, make sure you have a wet-weather backup option such as a tipi, marquee or an indoor space available – you can never be too prepared!
We’re expecting to see many Bridgerton-inspired weddings this summer after the popular show released season two and the nation fell in love with Kate and Anthony. Expect to see plenty of lace, ruffles, gloves, capes and delicate blues – it’s going to be oh-so glamorous. Neutrals and earthy tones are also trending at the moment, with the main focus on nature with foliage, driftwood and different textures being used.
This year, couples are focusing on sustainable weddings and are thinking outside of the box to reduce their impact on the environment, which can be done in multiple ways. Why not opt for repurposed jewellery or conflict-free pieces with sustainable diamonds, use seed paper or recycled paper for stationery, reuse floral arrangements from the ceremony throughout the day and pick seasonal blooms if possible?
That’s all from me; now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding.
Happy planning!

The Italian Villa
By marrying at The Italian Villa, couples can be sure of a wealth of fabulous opportunities. Set within the renowned Compton Acres, pairs can enjoy free access to 10 acres of manicured gardens on their big day. The multi-award winning venue provides a picture-perfect backdrop, beautifully designed over three floors, and the balcony overlooking the breathtaking Italian Gardens is perfect for that Romeo and Juliet moment! Say “I do” with up to 180 guests in the sophisticated Verona Suite or for larger events, the magnificent Medici Suite can easily accommodate 180 loved ones.
Leading directly out to the Italian Gardens, lovebirds can host al fresco drinks receptions while the tables are being set for elegant wedding breakfasts. In the summer months, they can also have their ceremony outside looking out across the ornamental pond to the sound of birds and the water fountain.
For evening celebrations, the Siena Suite provides the perfect place to party. Set up like an exclusive private members’ club, it has a stage big enough for live bands or DJs, a dancefloor and a comfy lounge area for chilling out.

| Mermaid Gin expands its delicious range |
| |
The Isle of Wight Distillery has launched Mermaid Zest Gin, a limited-edition, smooth and refreshing grapefruit and gentle juniper London Dry Gin. Mermaid Zest Gin is the fourth addition to the sustainable range which includes Mermaid Gin, Mermaid Pink Gin and Mermaid Salt Vodka. Mermaid Zest Gin is produced in Seaview at the Isle of Wight Distillery, the first and only distillery on the island. Mermaid spirits are shaped by the distillery's stunning surroundings and the unique character of the Isle of Wight, all whilst minimising waste using ethically sourced and often locally sourced ingredients to hand-craft a range of smooth yet complex spirits with a hint of sea air, and the new gin is produced in harmony with the Island's coastal elements, using foraged rock samphire and rosemary.
