May/June 2022

 
Finally, the sun is shining! It feels like it’s been a long time coming doesn’t it? As much as I’m very much a winter bunny, I must admit that feeling a warm breeze on my face for a change has cheered me up. My friends and I have decided to compile a bucket list of activities we’d like to enjoy this summer, and plans are well underway for our very own CWM bride’s hen do. If you’re worried about what your best gals might have planned for yours, the best way is to maintain an open line of communication. Make sure you lay down perimeters and make it abundantly clear well in advance if L plates, sashes and the like aren’t your thing. Olivia, Nolwenn and I sat bride Melissa down for a chat first to make sure we didn’t make any faux pas and asked her to provide us with a guest list and options for available dates. No doubt you’ll have been careful about your bridesmaid choices, they love you and know you well, so we’re sure you’re in capable hands. Relax and enjoy the break from planning everything yourself.

You’ll find this, the first of our summer issues, brimming with plenty of inspiration and advice as always. We take a look into the world of wedding cakes and asked the county’s best to show us their most showstopping bakes. Plus, if you’re looking to put the finishing touches to your outfit for the big day, look no further than our jewellery and accessories feature, which has everything from the quirky to the classic.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Wedding parties can utilise the North Courtyard and pretty private garden for drinks receptions or barbecues on warm summer evenings. These areas can also be used to capture those all-important photos, while you enjoy your day in complete privacy.

There are four spaces licensed for ceremonies accommodating guest lists from 40 up to 100. The Parlour is an intimate wood-panelled room with a cosy feel reflecting the history of the house.
