If you're looking for something different to the norm for your wedding reception, check out The Hamper, a Hampshire-based contemporary concept bringing the venue to a location of your choice.

Billed as the UK's first recycled container venue, it's been designed as a luxury and versatile alternative to the wedding marquee. With a white dome roof and 25ft-high fully retractable windows it not only delivers the wow factor, but also allows the wedding party to enjoy the outdoor setting to the full. Delivered and installed hassle-free, it can be personalised and is designed to withstand the unpredictable British weather. The inside space is accented by string lighting, with a copper-wrapped bar, green-plant walls, a forest chandelier and hand-crafted scaffold-board tables, decorated to complement your big-day theme.

"Our aim at The Hamper is to create a space of contemporary elegance, making your day beautiful and one-of-a-kind," says director Ben Lyons.

Modern wedding rituals revealed as Brits bury sausages for the big day

For decades, the British wedding has followed a well-known rulebook of etiquette, from formal seating plans to three tier cakes. However, new research from Moonpig, the UK's leading online greeting card and gift retailer, has revealed that the nation is moving away from these traditions in favour of highly personal and often quirky rituals. The study of 1,500 Brits reveals that authenticity is winning over tradition. Six in ten (59%) believe a wedding should be a true reflection of the couple's personalities, even if it means breaking classic wedding etiquette. To ensure their day feels truly unique, many are turning to unconventional superstitions and spiritual services. Over one in five (22%) Brits said they have buried or would consider burying a sausage to guarantee good weather on their wedding day. Meanwhile, over a third (39%) would consider hiring an 'Etsy witch' or similar spiritualist to provide blessing rituals for their big day.
