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 flower trends, showcase work from local photographers and some of the best venues in Greater Manchester. What’s more, we have lots of real weddings and styled shoots to inspire you.

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

The Wild Boar

Set in the leafy woodlands of the beautiful Gilpin Valley, a short drive from Windermere, The Wild Boar includes 72 acres of private grounds, forest trails and a secluded tarn for newlywed couples and their guests to enjoy. The Wild Boar’s extensive private grounds and beautiful scenery provide a range of options for weddings with a difference. The venue’s Mad Pig Land Rover often features in wedding photographs as couples are driven to their chosen backdrop, or they can enjoy a falconry hawk walk in the woods. The venue also offers ‘Wild Wedding’ experiences, including clay pigeon shooting, archery or even axe throwing, great for a fun-filled day.

With its oak beams and welcoming open fires, The Wild Boar oozes character and charm. Boasting an intimate and relaxed atmosphere to ensure everyone feels an integral part of wedding celebrations, it features a spacious bridal suite, individually-designed rooms, flavoursome food, and a host of outdoor activities. There is an extensive choice of food, from sharing plates, succulent steaks, traditional British, Mediterranean, Eastern spice, alternative afternoon tea, or a picnic.

There are a range of indoor and outdoor options to choose from, these include: The Undermillbeck Room, which caters for intimate nuptials of up to 22 guests.

The main ceremony room is in the Main Restaurant, which has beautiful rustic oak beams and can accommodate 90 for the wedding breakfast and up to 130 for the evening reception.

Depending on the size of the wedding, The Undermillbeck Room and the Main Restaurant is used for both drinks receptions and wedding breakfasts but these can also be arranged outdoors.
