November/December 2021

 
It dawned on me just recently that I have just six months left until I transform from editor into bridesmaid extraordinaire! Is anyone else freaked out by how quickly time passes en route to W-day? Despite spending my days telling all of you lovely people how to plan, I have very much not practised what I’ve preached and am now panicking about getting into shape. So, it’s a good job indeed that I’m not the bride, who fortunately is literally the most organised person I’ve ever met. That being said, the bride tribe (plus groom) recently decided to hit a wedding show at the venue-to-be hosted by our sister company County Wedding Events, looking for finishing touches and bridesmaid dresses. While I’ve attended many a wedding fair in my time with my professional hat on, nothing beats the excitement of experiencing one from the other side of the fence. So, to help you get the most out of your next visit to a wedding fair, I’ve compiled my top five tips.

1. Pre-register. Make sure you sign up on the organisers website. CWE is offering timed entry slots at the moment to keep you all safe and allow you to enjoy your browsing comfortably.

2.Be prepared. Find out who’s exhibiting beforehand and make up a hit list of the suppliers you want to check out. You can usually find this info on the event’s website, but if not there’ll likely be show guide available, so grab one when you arrive and settle down with a cuppa or glass of bubbly before you venture any further.

3. Fashion shows. These are not to be missed in our book. Seeing the latest designs on an actual human, as opposed to on the hanger, can give you a whole new perspective along with tons of ideas.

4.Show and tell. If you’re already at the point where you know your theme, colour palette and venue, it’s a good idea to take your mood board along with you. If you find a supplier you’re keen to work with, it’ll really help them to get a peek at this to get their creative juices flowing.

5.Snap happy. Make sure your smart phone is fully charged and be ready to get as many pics as you can of the things you love. Big events can be a little daunting and the last thing you want is to get home and forget where you saw that incredible cake.

And now, without further ado, I bring you the latest issue of Your Kent Wedding. We have a world of wedspiration waiting for you as always.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Broome Park Hotel

Built in 1635, Broome Park Hotel offers a Grade I listed mansion-house setting in the heart of South East Kent. Situated in Canterbury, it’s set amongst no less than 250 acres of grounds, which feature a professional golf course. The site is also home to ample guest accommodation in the shape of 14 lodges and 19 hotel rooms, the interiors of which reflect the traditional character of the property.

The Italian Gardens offer a stunning spot for al fresco “I dos” and boast original 19th-century features including an original archway where you can exchange your vows with 120 of your nearest and dearest looking on.

If you prefer to wed indoors the Georgian Room is a characterful spot complete with original features from the era of previous owner, Lord Kitchener including high ceilings and a large bay window. It too can host 120 for the ceremony before transforming into your reception space for 80 at a seated wedding breakfast and 100 for the evening bash.

Finally, the marquee located in the grounds overlooks the Kentish countryside with the mansion house also in full view. It can accommodate 150 for the wedding breakfast and 200 for the evening reception.
