Samantha Richards from A Touch of Kent (www.atouchofkent.com) says, “Hues of autumnal colours are trending in mass proportions this year! Using aspects of wood, floods of candles and burnt oranges through table linen or florals will create the desired aesthetic.”

It's all about the rust and we adore it!

One of this issue's real grooms Sean says: "I forgot the bow ties and left them back home in Ashford! Thankfully, some of Jess' friends were out shopping and managed to get some almost identical ones from different charity shops, so we still had something to wear!"

Historically, Goodnestone Park (https://goodnestonepark.co.uk) has been a dry-hire venue, with the 18th-century house included. However, couples then needed to hire a marquee and anything else they might need. But that's all set to change now that the venue has enlisted the help of the Wedding Dolls (www.theweddingdolls.co.uk) to provide its award-winning coordination service to all of its couples. And, that's not all that's changed, as Bohemia Canvas has designed and built a bespoke Italian-inspired orangery marquee, which now sits proudly among the exclusive-use gardens that surround the house.
