June/July 2023

 
What with last month’s incredible coronation and the launch of Netflix’s Queen Charlotte, I’m reeling from all things royal at the moment, and feeling very proud indeed to be British! Whether you’re a royalist yourselves, or merely found your May all the merrier being blessed with an extra bank holiday, there’s been something to celebrate. I always think of our readers as queens and kings, princess and princes, and believe you all deserve the royal treatment on your big day, so why not consider adding a regal edge to your nuptials?

Jewel-toned colour palettes are certainly seeing a surge in popularity, thanks to their opulent, rich hues; and shades such as purple and red have long been associated with royalty. When it comes to dining, think banqueting tables bedecked in gold cutlery and crystal, with tall candelabra and centrepieces. Of course, add this styling to a stately home wedding venue and you’re there!

When it comes to your attire, what could be more royal than a ballgown? Pair a full, extravagant skirt with a dramatic train and veil, and you’ll have guests gasping as you make your grand entrance. If you like this idea, but fear the volume will impede you on the dancefloor, opt for a detachable skirt, allowing you to transform your look into a sleek silhouette for the evening. Finally, your very own crown is a must-have for this theme, whether it’s a flower version for a Queen Titania twist or a bejewelled tiara.

As we enter the summer well and truly ready for some sunshine, don’t miss our host of styled shoots and real weddings this issue, all waiting to inspire as you plan for your big day.

Enjoy and keeeep planning!

The View Hotel Eastbourne

The View Hotel is a contemporary hotel venue located directly on Eastbourne’s seafront, just a short drive from the South Downs National Park. As well as ensuring no two weddings are ever the same, the Hotel boasts outdoor terraces and floor-to-ceiling windows offering panoramic views of Eastbourne’s idyllic backdrop.

For vows, the Horizon Suite can seat 100 guests (120 for the reception) and is located on the mezzanine level. Ceremonies take place in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with Eastbourne’s iconic Pier and seafront in the foreground. Complete with its own bar, dancefloor, ceiling fairylights and mood-lighting the suite is also ideal for the reception.

For smaller gatherings, the first-floor Martello Suite, suitable for 80 guests day and night, also boasts stunning views to the west of the seafront and Wish Tower. It offers its own private bar and a dancefloor made for celebrations.

Finally, for intimate nuptials, Pier Suite 2 (45) is also on the first floor, with views to the pier. When tying the knot here, you’ll benefit from a menu tasting, and complimentary overnight accommodation is included in a number of packages along with discounted room rates available for guests.
