April/May 2022

 
For me, spring is a wonderful time of year. I love seeing nature come alive again, and being able to go outside without it being dark is something I’ve truly missed. Although I adore Christmas (who doesn’t?) I’m not a fan of the winter months and am so glad we can finally say hello to spring! With a new season comes lots of wonderful real weddings, and I can’t wait to hear from those of you who are set to tie the knot in the next few months.

As many of you know, my wedding is in July 2022, so we’re finally in the home stretch and counting down the days. We opted for a summer wedding, partly due to my dislike for the cold weather, but also because when we got engaged in 2020 we were in the middle of one of the many lockdowns and were unsure if we’d be able to get married anytime soon. We booked our venue for 18 months later, and here we are about to walk down the aisle and say ‘I do’. For those of you who are newly engaged, believe me when I tell you that your day will arrive in the blink of an eye! My number one piece of advice is to take your time and enjoy the planning process.

In this issue, photographers show some of their favourite images, local experts answer your hot topic questions and we reveal the latest news from around the North West.

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

Gibbon Bridge Hotel

Gibbon Bridge Hotel is nestled within 23 acres of award-winning gardens and is situated within the Forest of Bowland and Ribble Valley. Surrounded by rolling fells and farmland, it’s adjacent to the River Loud, which looks stunning in photographs. Privately owned, the Gibbon Bridge Hotel has been hosting weddings for more than 30 years and has an experienced team of wedding professionals. Inside is an eclectic mix of old and new with 30 bedrooms and comfortable and welcoming surroundings. There’s a spacious dining room overlooking the terrace and gardens, which is the perfect setting for an exclusive wedding with ceremony areas inside and out for whatever the weather.

Indoor civil ceremonies are held in the light and airy Orangery with seating for up to 100 guests. The room is decorated with a flower wall, blossom trees and voiles, which creates a fairytale setting for any couple.

Outdoor celebrations take place at the Garden Bandstand. Dressed with voiles, it has seating inside for up to 20 friends and family with room for more than 100 loved ones to sit outside and watch the ceremony.

The Conservatory, overlooking the terrace with its outdoor seating and superb views, is the perfect space to host a wedding breakfast. It’s capable of accommodating 130 nearest and dearest inside or, with the addition of a marquee, up to 200. Adjoining the Conservatory is a comfortable bar area with a log fire for the winter months and space for guests to relax and mingle.

From necklaces to bracelets, lots of jewellery has hidden meanings that are considered lucky or unlucky, depending on what it is and when it is worn.
