October/November 2022

 
Before I tied the knot, several of my friends warned me about the wedding blues – the feeling of sadness once the big day is over. It’s a strange feeling when something you’ve been planning for months or sometimes even years is over in the blink of an eye. To help avoid this, my hubby and I jetted off on our honeymoon to Greece a few days after the wedding. It was wonderful getting to spend quality time with each other, relaxing on the beach and exploring the sights. Having this time together meant we didn’t really feel a sense of sadness that the day was over and it extended our wedding bubble a little bit longer.

If you’re stuck for travel ideas, we have a must-see honeymoon section focusing on gorgeous properties in the UK and abroad. Also in this issue, we reveal the latest catering trends, showcase work from local photographers and some of the best venues in Staffordshire. What’s more, we have real weddings and styled shoots to inspire you.

Remember, if you’ve recently celebrated your day or have been involved with a styled shoot, you can submit it here or via email.

Bennetts Willow Barn

Bennetts Willow Barn is situated on a working dairy farm and is surrounded by grazing fields, woodland and a charming lake. The property has plenty of places to take those all-important photographs, including flowers that bloom throughout the year, picturesque log walls, fairylights, willow trees and a firepit.

Couples can choose to run the day how they want, holding ceremonies outside in the gardens, in the yurt marquee or the barn. The 20m long yurt marquee is a private, exclusive use space that’s adjacent to the gardens. It includes a firepit and outdoor space for garden games or even a bouncy castle and can seat up to 140 people or 150 without a seat each.

The barn is slightly smaller and can seat up to 100 guests at any one time, with a maximum capacity of 150 for the evening party.
