September/October 2021

 
Welcome one and all to another issue of Your Kent Wedding. Here we are, my favourite part of the year where it feels like there’s so much to look forward to (will you be cross if I say I’m excited about Christmas already?). I adore the autumn as colours change and the air starts to cool. Mind you, based on the weather as I write this, the temperatures won’t have far to fall this year! What a great time to get married though. September tends to be pretty dependable climate-wise and there’s a wonderfully romantic feel of promise just as the seasons change. I love to see what couples and their suppliers come up with in terms of wedding colour palettes at this time of year. Blush, terracotta and aqua are are all paired with a rich burgundy in our gorgeous styled shoot from page 63, which is a real treat.

I’m loving being involved with wedding plans myself as Melissa, my dear friend and editor here at CWM, prepares to tie the knot next July, with yours truly as bridesmaid – I may have mentioned that once or twice... She’s already chosen her gown, in which she looks stunning. But what we learned from this experience is not to panic if you don’t instantly burst in to tears at the knowledge that it’s the one. If that’s just not you, you’re unlikely to change your entire personality the moment you try on a wedding dress. Sometimes, the knowledge that you’ve chosen your dream attire comes from careful deliberation and a process of trying on all silhouettes to know what suits and what doesn’t. Melissa actually chose a dress that’s the complete opposite to anything she thought she’d go for and this is something we as editors hear all the time. Remember: you do you and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I hope you enjoy this splendid issue and keeep planning!

Spotlight on Maidstone & Medway
 
Nettlestead Place

Nettlestead Place takes the breath away as you approach the Grade I listed manor via the beautiful 14th-century gatehouse. Still a privatelyowned family home, it has hosted many lavish events and celebrations over the centuries. The stunning manor house and its spectacular surroundings offer a quintessentially English setting.

Amongst the 10 acres of award-winning gardens, it boasts its own picture-perfect sunken pond and beautiful far-reaching views across the River Medway. With stone walls, archways, secret gardens, a maze and winding pathways, the venue offers incredible photo opportunities. What’s more, your guests are free to wander and explore.

Indoor vows take place in the 13th-century Undercroft, characterised by its three Medieval pillars and vaulted ceiling. The historical ambience is perfect for such an occasion. Outdoor ceremonies are held in the Rose Garden, which features a 300-year-old lime tree. The sweet fragrance of the surrounding flora envelopes the gazebo for a truly romantic setting.

A large wedding marquee, positioned to make the most of the views, will be the setting for the celebrations. It can accommodate 150 day guests and 200 evening guests. With wooden floors, dividing walls and a private bridal changing room, it offers an ideal blank canvas for you to mould to your style.

A foodie kind of fizz from Kent's Mereworth Wines
 
A foodie kind of fizz from Kent's Mereworth Wines
 
Despite its first wine being released just in April of last year, there have already been many bottles of 'Mereworth' popped and enjoyed over lockdown and in celebrations since. But Kent winemaker, Mereworth Wines, is keen to explain why its English Sparkling Wine is much more than just a celebratory drink. Sparkling wine is often opened as a drink of celebration, but you may not know 'Mereworth's English fizz is also incredibly food-friendly, pairing with a wide range of dishes, so you can make it a regular at your lunch or dinner table. The bubbles wake up your taste buds, and the vibrant acidity cuts beautifully through a range of salty, fatty or sweet foods to effortlessly partner whatever you bring to the table.
