September/October 2019 |
| |
As we’re soaking up the last vestiges of summer sunshine, it’s fair to say we’ve enjoyed the usual mixed bag of Great British weather with a few hotter-than-Hawaii days as well as the customary rain. So as the last embers of summer fade into autumn we look back with a last hurrah to the season on page 63 where we feature a glorious styled shoot showcasing the talents of local suppliers and beautiful coral tones, one of this year’s hottest hues.
Although I’m always a little down when summertime’s over, I soon perk up when all the colours start changing. It’s a wonderfully romantic time of year, perfect for taking time out from the wedding planning to relax and enjoy the great outdoors before the hectic festive period and bleak winter weather kicks in.
There’s rich pickings to be had too for autumn-themed weddings. Hampshire and Dorset are blessed with plenty of glorious countryside and forests, so why not grab your partner, pull on your wellies and head out? Be inspired by nature’s bounty for your big-day palette and turn to page 69 for our showcase of autumn colour mood boards.
There’s a wealth of natural material available too at this time of year. Think shiny conkers, twigs, brambles, ornamental gourds in different shapes and sizes, pumpkins and richly coloured blooms like dahlias and chrysanthemums. To find out what local experts have to say on making the most of the season, turn to page 109.
As well as wonderful seasonal ideas, this issue is packed with latest trends and top tips for all things wedding-related from bridal fashion and local venues to fun hen and party ideas to see off your single days in style.
Enjoy! |

Stansted Park
Stansted House is set in over a thousand acres of the South Downs National Park, with far-reaching views across open countryside and ancient woodland. This former home of the Earls of Bessborough is ideal for those wanting a distinctive backdrop for their ceremony, from the blue vaulted ceiling and stained glass of the private chapel in the grounds to the lavish furnishings of the Music Room.
The historic grandeur of the Blue Drawing Room lends itself perfectly to a formal wedding breakfast while the large south-facing lawns offer a quintessentially English setting for a marquee reception where larger parties can dine and dance into the night.
Every wedding is different and couples have the freedom to have their day their way with everything from fabulous canapés to fish and chips, summer drinks on the portico to mulled wine by firelight. Whether you’re planning an intimate gathering or more lavish celebration, the flexible venue caters for weddings large or small.
