July/August 2020

 
One thing I’ll take from the experience of lockdown is just how proud I am to be part of the Kent wedding industry. I’ve been incredibly heartened to witness some wonderful acts of love and support from our local suppliers, who’ve been working tirelessly, in whatever way they can, to help couples forced to cancel their dream days, as well as the wider community. Everyone has well and truly stuck together and remained positive throughout an impossible time, and that’s something I’ll remember with enormous gratitude. You guys are my heroes and I applaud you.

We’re here to offer some light relief and advice wherever you’re at on your journey to W-day, even if you’ve been forced backwards a few paces. Nothing warms the heart like a love story, and we have four of our readers’ to share starting on page 30. Plus, we’re really spoiling you this issue with no less than five stunning styled shoots. We have everything from coast to country, rustic to glam, vintage to contemporary, so dive right in.

What’s more, if you’re planning a day to remember turn to page 79 for our A-Z of entertainment, and page 67 to find out how to style any venue to full effect. Finally, if your skin’s feeling the effects of being cooped up for weeks on end, you won’t want to miss my interview with skincare expert and social media icon Caroline Hirons, who’ll have you wedding-ready in no time (page 112).

Take care out there.

Sprivers Mansion

This elegant Georgian country house, built in 1759 and now owned by the National Trust, is blessed with beautiful ornate period features and décor. Amongst its historical features are fine Georgian fireplaces, ornate plasterwork, a sweeping oak Chippendale staircase, stunning original chandeliers, and a stunning gold family coast of arms. Plus, the generous three-room bridal suite is decorated in the same style.

The elegant façade of the main house is typical of the era, with its dolls’ house symmetry and large double oak doors, all surrounded by formal gardens. There’s also plenty of opportunity to capture those all-important photos in the walled rose garden, wild flower meadow, fields, orchards and ponds.

Ceremonies witnessed by up to 60 loved ones can either take place in the ornate Yellow Room with its French doors opening onto the garden, or on the main lawn for 140. Host a glorious drinks reception with 140 guests in the Georgian reception rooms of the main house or in the formal gardens, followed by the wedding breakfast and evening entertainment for up to 180 both in the luxury canvas-pole marquee on the rear lawn. More intimate wedding breakfasts accompanied by 36 of your nearest and dearest can be hosted in the main house.
