May/June 2019

 
Easter is done and dusted, leaving me to struggle with the reality that chocolate for breakfast, lunch and dinner isn’t exactly normal, but hey, we press on! June holds something dear to me, as it’s the month in which my amazing parents tied the knot back in the heady days of the 1970s. So while I get caught up in flowers, dresses and styling, my dear mum and dad, with their 46 of matrimony, remind me of the bigger picture. After the best day of your lives comes something so much more – a marriage – and my goodness that’s worth celebrating.

So with no further ado, let’s talk about our gateway to summer issue. As I’m sure you’ve gathered by this point, food is a subject very dear to my heart… and stomach. We’ve put together a mouth-watering roundup of delectable delicacies. Head over to page 73, but perhaps not on an empty tum!

Being a craft fanatic myself, I’m a huge supporter of the handmade. It’s such a meaningful and personal element to bring to your big day when you have something crafted just for you. From wedding rings to stationery, we introduce you to some of Kent’s talented artisans. Just head over to page 81 to find out more.

As the sun hopefully starts to think about getting its hat on for another year, maybe vows al fresco are something you might be thinking about. If so, head over to page 87 to learn what our experts have to say about planning outdoor “I dos.”

Happy planning, one and all!

Tonbridge School has a fabulous selection of W-day reception locations, many with original historical features, including leaded and stained-glass windows. The main building boasts architecture dating back to 1553, presenting a dramatic backdrop for photos and outdoor drinks receptions.

Within the 150-acre site, there’s a selection of beautiful gardens, sculptures and traditional features, plus there’s the convenience of being close to town.

The Lowry room has a vaulted ceiling and minstrels’ gallery with a large feature window and is suitable for your wedding breakfast. The OBS Gallery is a modern art gallery with original leaded windows, providing a light and airy location for celebrations. Big School is a traditional wood-panelled school hall with stage and stained glass windows, ideal for a seated buffet-style reception. Finally, the Orchard Centre is a fully air-conditioned modern dining room overlooking the central school grounds, perfect for both seated dining and evening receptions.
