December/January 2021/2022

 
It dawned on me just recently that I have just six months left until I transform from editor into bridesmaid extraordinaire! Is anyone else freaked out by how quickly time passes en route to W-day? Despite spending my days telling all of you lovely people how to plan, I have very much not practised what I’ve preached and am now panicking about getting into shape. So, it’s a good job indeed that I’m not the bride, who fortunately is literally the most organised person I’ve ever met. That being said, the bride tribe (plus groom) recently decided to hit a wedding show at the venue, hosted by our sister company County Wedding Events, looking for finishing touches and bridesmaid dresses. While I’ve attended many a wedding fair in my time with my professional hat on, nothing beats the excitement of experiencing one from the other side of the fence. So, to help you get the most out of your next visit, I’ve compiled my top three tips.

1. Pre-register. Make sure you sign up on the organisers website. CWE is offering timed entry slots at the moment to keep you all safe and allow you to enjoy your browsing comfortably.

2. Be prepared. Find out who’s exhibiting beforehand and make up a hit list of the suppliers you want to check out. You can usually find this info on the event’s website, but if not there’ll likely be show guide available, so grab one when you arrive and settle down with a cuppa or glass of bubbly before you venture any further.

3. Snap happy. Make sure your smart phone is fully charged and be ready to get as many pics as you can of the things you love. Big events can be a little daunting and the last thing you want is to get home and forget where you saw that incredible cake.

And now, without further ado, I bring you the latest issue of Your Sussex Wedding. Check out these pages for my issue highlights to ensure you don’t miss a thing – we have a world of wedspiration waiting for you as always.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Southdowns Manor

From the romantic gardens to the quintessentially English setting, it’s hard not to fall in love with Southdowns Manor. Set amongst the breathtaking scenery of the South Downs, this historical exclusive-use venue, is a rural retreat offering a tranquil setting for your big day. Whether you’re dreaming of a lavish, formal wedding or a relaxed and intimate celebration, this venue provides a stylish setting.

The manor is licensed for civil ceremonies and is also situated close to the Grade I listed St George’s Church at Trotton, which offers traditional Anglican ceremonies.

The Sussex Room is an informal area with a large bar where guests can meet before your ceremony. It can also be used for “I dos” witnessed by up to 40 loved ones, and is an ideal space for serving canapés and drinks post vows. The Conservatory too can host up to 40 for the ceremony and being a light and airy space makes for a romantic setting.

For larger ceremonies, the Banqueting Suite can comfortably seat 150, and with its starlight ceiling makes for a particularly magical setting at this time of year. During the summer you can exchange your vows al fresco on the terrace. Also licensed for 150, it can be used for reception drinks too, where guests can enjoy views across the South Downs.

With weddings on hold throughout most of 2020 the team at entertainment provider, Toast, made the best use of their time and energy to rebrand and relaunch the company's website. Director Nathan Evans says, "We spent a lot of time chatting with our designers and web builders to ensure our new brand had rationale developed into every area. The logo, colour palette and web build were all deeply considered and had meaning embedded into every inch."
The say every picture tells a story and this is certainly the case for Toast's new logo.
