August/September 2022 |
|
W-day is imminent! As the County Wedding Magazines editorial crew prepare to see our beloved senior editor Melissa become a Mrs, we can’t help but be niggled by at least a small sense of shock at just how quickly the big day has come around. Something, I’ve no doubt you’re all experiencing too as your own weddings draw closer.
Christmas Day 2020 feels like only yesterday, when my fellow bridesmaid, Olivia, and I bombarded Melissa with WhatsApp messages: “Has he done it yet? Has he done it yet?” We knew the proposal was imminent you see, and were more than just a tad excited! Boy, have we had an adventure together since: the tears of joy at being asked to be bridesmaids (“Are you sure you want me?”), the fun of shopping for the dresses, and the hilarity of the hen dos (yes plural, she deserves it). The past year-and-a-half has seen us grow closer as friends, not just Melissa, Olivia and I – the three amigos; but also with our gorgeous fellow bridesmaid Nolwenn and the groom, dear Dave. Weddings have a habit of doing that don’t they? Of course, they’re a celebration of love between the all-important couple, but more than that, they allow a much wider expression of love for friends, family and even furbabies! After all, that’s why we’re all here isn’t it? I know it’s why I spend my days writing about your amazing big days and why I never tire of looking at the resulting photographs. To quote a hero of mine, RuPaul: “Everybody say love.”
I hope you enjoy the oodles of inspiration this issue has to offer. We’ve got three gorgeous styled shoots packed with ideas from the region’s finest wedding suppliers, as well as three incredible real weddings. Plus, we introduce you to some of the county’s finest wedding photographers and find out what makes them tick, as well as showcasing some jaw-dropping big-day bakes by Sussex’s talented cake designers. So, dive in!
Enjoy and keeeep planning!

British Airways i360 Viewing Tower
The British Airways i360 Viewing Tower, along with its spacious beach-side event rooms, offers a wonderful backdrop for your vows and photographs. The glass viewing pod is ten times the size of a London Eye capsule and travels from ground to 450ft, offering uninterrupted 360-degree views of Brighton, the South Downs and the beautiful Sussex coastline.
The South Coast’s highest bar, The Nyetimber Sky Bar, is one of the most exclusive venues in the city and offers an unforgettable location for your guests to toast your union with a glass of this award-winning local sparkling wine in hand. The pod can accommodate up to 175 people standing or 60 seated theatre-style.
After a ceremony in the sky, inspire your guests further with the venue’s event rooms: Attenborough, Birch and Constable. The flexible spaces are open to private beachfront terraces offering stunning views of the sea and the West Pier. All rooms have natural daylight, audio-visual facilities and views of the sea, the beach and the historical West Pier. They can hold between 100 to 480 loved ones. Alternatively, you can host an intimate reception in the reconstructed 1866 West Pier toll booth, which also has a private sea-facing terrace for 20 wedding breakfast and 40 evening guests. And, whether you’re looking for a formal banquet or a sumptuous beach barbecue, the venue’s chefs will create your menu according to your personal taste using the finest seasonal ingredients, many of which are sourced from the South Downs region.
