Weddings are such joyful occasions, and there’s nothing more special than marrying your soulmate. For those that have been reading the last few issues, you’ll know that my best friend tied the knot in July and what an incredible day it was. As a bridesmaid, it has been such a special experience helping a dear friend plan such an important event. Watching everything come together on the day was very emotional. I’ll never forget that moment when I watched the bride make her grand entrance – I had to fight back the tears as I couldn’t ruin my make-up! The ceremony was beautiful, with many heartwarming words shared. Overall, we had a fantastic day with plenty of pampering, memorable moments, excellent food and great entertainment. I spent the entire evening living it up on the dancefloor – you should see the videos!

Planning a wedding might seem like a scary or overwhelming experience, but we’re here to guide you through the whole process from the moment you get engaged to the honeymoon. Make sure to flick to our real wedding features and read all about local weddings; here, you’ll find plenty of inspiration. That’s all from me; now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding.

Happy planning!

Dorset Museum

The Dorset Museum is an iconic wedding venue located in the heart of Dorchester’s town centre.

The original building was designed in 1883 by G. R. Crickmay and showcases many Victorian features.

Home of 250 million years of Dorset’s history, couples can get married in one of the unique spaces. Offering exclusive hire of the wonderful areas and facilities, the team can create the perfect setting tailored directly to any needs.

Exchange vows in The Dorset Story Space with 24 guests who will love the classic wooden panelling from Tyneham House. Or hold intimate ceremonies in the stunning library surrounded by more than 30,000 books on Dorset’s history. With its Victorian oriel window, the bright space creates the perfect setting for 10 people.

At the heart of the museum is the magnificent Victorian Hall, which can accommodate 120 loved ones and was designed in 1884 – it’s perfect for larger ceremonies and receptions. The Roman mosaic flooring and stained-glass rose windows plus neo-Gothic architecture will help make all weddings memorable.

Get your feet wedding ready with the Exclusive Medical Pedicure by Margaret Dabbs London
 
Get your feet wedding ready with the Exclusive Medical Pedicure by Margaret Dabbs London
 
CWM editor Rachel Westall went along to Margaret Dabbs London to discover the benefits of The Exclusive Medical Pedicure... What a treat for the feet! As a working mum my feet work hard. Often wearing heels or sandals, exposing my feet to the elements I suffer with dry heels and skin build up on the balls of my feet. So, when the opportunity came to try out a medical pedicure at Margaret Dabbs London, I jumped at the chance. It's a giant leap further than your standard pedi. To explain a bit further, think hygienist for the feet and foot facialist all in one. The famous medical pedicure or medi-pedi, as I like to call it, is a thorough overhaul performed on the feet, by a qualified HCPC registered Podiatrist.
