May/June 2025 |
| |
As spring rears its head and summer feels closer than ever, you’re bound to see more flowers around. I’m sure we can all agree that the desire to frolic through a flower field has crossed our minds. Perhaps not, but the films do make it look marvellous! In theory, this beautiful moment would make you feel like the main character in a rom-com. In practise? You’re a snotty mess scrambling for the hay fever tablets.
But this desire to be amongst the wildflowers is making its way into weddings, through the theme of fairytales and fanciful parties. Elise and Cameron Dalzell got this theme down to an artform, for their wedding in August 2024. Pictured in this section (right), you can see them sharing a warm embrace amongst some cow parsley — sigh...oh to be held in a wildflower field.
But how can you incorporate this and other 2025 trends into your wedding? In this issue we dive into the rise of short dresses, how to bring your sparkle through jewellery, and what your bridesmaids can do to look the part on your special day.
Can someone pass the tissues and antihistamines, please?
Chat soon!

Cobham Hall
Surrounded by 150 acres of parkland, once landscaped by Humphry Repton, on approach the historic Cobham Hall emerges from the trees and is one of England’s finest historic country houses.
Over the centuries distinguished people have spent time at Cobham, Elizabeth I visited and Charles I spent a night of his honeymoon at the hall; while Charles Dickens often passed through the park and stopped to visit his friend the Earl of Darnley! Sir Joshua Reynolds, Gainsborough, The Duke of Wellington, George VI, Queen Victoria, Nellie Melba and many others were guests.
Now a wedding venue and an independent school, this is your opportunity to add your name to its prestigious list of visitors. Did you know that Cobham Hall was the original home of The Ashes and a key part of cricket history? The Ashes took pride of place on the mantelpiece of what is now known as The Old Library. Whilst it is used almost universally in media coverage of test cricket between England and Melbourne, for many, the urn is a symbol for the romantic love story between the 8th Earl of Darnley and the charming girl from Melbourne.
Only 28 miles from central London and within easy reach of the A2, M2, M20 and M25 Cobham Hall is perfectly situated close to all major road networks while enjoying a picturesque and tranquil setting.
Offering both indoor and outdoor ceremony options for couples looking to tie the knot here, Cobham can also host your wedding breakfast and evening entertainment meaning your wedding day can take place all under one roof!
