June/July 2022

 
F inally, 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, our summer issue, brimming with plenty of inspiration and advice as always. We chatted to the region’s boutique owners for their take on what’s hot in bridal fashion at the moment. They’ve even given us the lowdown on styles to look out for in the future. Among these pages you’ll also find our ultimate guide to venue styling, where you’ll discover everything from how to choose a theme and colour palette to avoiding the most common pitfalls.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

The Bristol Harbour Hotel

Set in the heart of Bristol’s Old Town, opposite the historical St Nicholas Market, the Hotel’s magnificent building offers a sense of grandeur and provides an abundance of must-have characterful spots for your photographer’s shot list. Take a stroll through the quirky streets opposite, sip cocktails in the Gold Bar or enjoy a Pimms on the terrace – you’re in the perfect place for an elegant city-centre wedding here.

The jewel in the hotel’s crown is The Sansovino. With grand high ceilings and decadent pillars, it’s a beautifully decorated room, steeped in history. It can host both your “I dos” and big bash. There’s ample room here for a DJ, dancefloor, band and any other entertainment your hearts desire, and it boasts its own bar, grand entrance and bathrooms. Alternatively, for the ceremony and celebrations, you have the option to use The Vaults. A more intimate space set in the original bank vaults of the building, they’re perfect for elegant, intimate, candlelit vows. It also offers the ideal blank canvas for you to put your own stamp on and offers a pop up bar and soft lighting for the evening do.

Wedding packages are bespoke and can include complimentary a bridal suite, menu tasting, spa day and even the chance to create your very own cocktail for the day.
