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!

Highcliffe Castle

Perched by the sea overlooking The Solent, Highcliffe Castle is a dreamy wedding setting thanks to its prime clifftop location, beach access, surrounding woodland area, showstopping views and characterful features.

First inspired by the work of Capability Brown, the grounds and estate at Highcliffe Castle have seen many changes through the centuries, but still retain some of his original touches. Today it makes an excellent location for woodland walks, outstanding viewpoints and picnics.

From the moment guests arrive at the impressive driveway to the porte-cochère, the impressive architecture with historic and Gothic revival features will wow guests.

Ceremonies take place in The Winter Garden with 110 people. The conservatory-style building is flooded with natural lighting, offering views over the castle grounds and a romantic setting for the vows. The room’s design creates fabulous acoustics for music, whether that’s a baby grand piano, media centre or a string quartet – songs will sound even more special in this beautiful location.

Why not dine in the majestic Great Hall after the “I dos”, which can host 110 people and creates a spectacular backdrop for wedding breakfasts? With its carved stonework, exposed brick and 30-foot-high stained glass Jesse window, guests will be in awe of the special ambience this room creates. For more of an intimate setting, the Dining Room offers a romantic and elegant backdrop to celebrations with whimsical exposed brickwork and impressive views over the lawns to the sea for up to 80 guests.

Dance into the night in the atmospheric Drawing Room with a band or DJ. It’s blank canvas allows couples to add fairylights, a disco ball, drapes, illuminated letters and a dancefloor. The Castle Bar links the dining and dancing areas of the castle as a lively hub for all celebrations.
