September/October 2021

 
The world of weddings has gone from nought to sixty since restrictions have been lifted. The floodgates have opened and suppliers up and down the region are busier than ever with all the pent-up demand and postponed weddings. Not even a global pandemic has stopped couples planning their big day, some for the third or fourth time! Others have tied the knot regardless, downsizing their guest lists and forgoing many of the things we take for granted like packing out the dancefloor, group hugs and partying the night away. Intimate weddings have proved to be just as beautiful and meaningful though, bringing many of the most important things into sharper focus, like spending quality time with our nearest and dearest and savouring the moment. With just 13 people at their nature-inspired wedding Lucy and Toby’s celebration was a real triumph and you can read all about it from page 35.

Packed with all the regular features, we’ve got your whole day covered from the hen party (page 85) to the dress shopping (page 69), local venues, expert advice and more. And when your day comes, don’t forget to get in touch afterwards for the chance to share it with our readers. Just click on the link to get involved www.yourhampshiredorset.wedding/get-involved-real-wedding

Happy planning!

Avington Park

Wend your way through the wrought iron gateway, down the long avenue of lime trees to discover this historic venue. Beautiful inside and out, with two conservatories flanking a pillared orangery, Avington Park dates back to the 10th century and has a wonderfully grand feel to the interior.

You’ll be spoilt for choice for where to pose for stunning photos. Surrounded by 150 acres of parkland, the beautifully kept grounds include two resident peacocks and lush lawns bordering the River Itchen, providing a picturesque scene all year round. Inside there are a wealth of wow-factor rooms licensed for ceremonies, including the beautifully decorated main hall. With marbled pillars and an impressive fireplace it leads into the library which boasts a grand piano and wonderful views of the south lawn. The opulent Grand Versailles Ballroom on the first floor is a jewel in the crown. Full of grandeur with a magnificently painted ceiling, gold plasterwork and huge mirrors, it provides a romantic backdrop for ceremonies with up to 100 guests and has an amazing outlook across the park. For more intimate ‘I dos’ the conservatory is ideal. The versatile space can also be used to provide extra room for the reception, the evening bar, top table or displaying the wedding cake. Combined with the adjoining library, you can host a reception for 100 seated guests and the room can be turned around later for the evening celebration with space for entertainment and a band. Larger wedding parties can be hosted in a marquee adjoining the library.
