August/September 2021

 
Welcome one and all to another issue of Your Sussex Wedding. Here we are, gradually approaching my favourite part of the year where it feels like there’s so much to look forward to (will you be cross if I say I’m excited about Christmas already?). I adore the autumn as colours change and the air starts to cool. Mind you, based on the weather as I write this, the temperatures won’t have far to fall this year! What a great time to get married though. September tends to be far more predictable climate-wise than August and there’s a wonderfully romantic feel of promise just as the seasons begin to change. I love to see what couples and their suppliers come up with in terms of wedding colour palettes at this time of year. Dusky pink paired with rich burgundy is a real treat when embellished with a metallic touch of gold as per our gorgeous styled shoot from page 45.

I’m loving being involved with wedding plans myself as Melissa, my dear friend and editor here at CWM, makes plans to tie the knot next July, with yours truly as bridesmaid – as I may have mentioned once or twice... She’s already chosen her gown, in which she looks stunning. But what we learned from this experience is not to panic if you don’t instantly burst in to tears at the knowledge that it’s the one. If that’s just not you, you’re unlikely to change your entire personally the moment you try on a wedding dress. Sometimes, the knowledge that you’ve chosen your dream attire comes from careful deliberation and a process of trying on all silhouettes to know what suits and what doesn’t. Melissa actually chose a dress that’s the complete opposite to what she thought she’d go for and this is something we as editors hear all the time. Remember: you do you and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

I hope you enjoy this splendid issue and keeep planning!

Cottesmore Hotel Golf and Country Club

Set within 247 acres of lush, tree-lined Sussex countryside Cottesmore is home to 36 holes of golf with two lakes, a 26-bedroom hotel and seven self-catering lodges. This stylish country venue features function rooms, a farmhouse-style restaurant, health club, swimming pool and beauty salon. The existing club house and hotel forms part of the historical charm and character of the 1884 farm buildings, while the new sections have been carefully constructed to match the original brickwork. What’s more, dark grey window frames and panoramic views over the golf course bring a touch of that sought-after contemporary look.

The new outdoor wedding ceremony lawn is nestled in a tree-lined glade and offers peace and tranquillity in a romantic setting. If you’d prefer to exchange vows under cover though, the oak-beamed barn room is an option and boasts a vaulted ceiling and elegant lighting. Both spaces have a capactiy of 150. Before you head in to your main celebration, don’t miss out on the opportunity for a champagne reception held in the French-style courtyard with ornate fountain, pretty planters and a French boules court.

For your wedding breakfast and reception, The Challis Suite has been designed with a contemporary feel. Adorned with mirrors, beams and antler-chandelier lighting, it has a lightly-hued wooden floor and calming interior. The marble-topped bar completes the space and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the courtyard bring in plenty of natural light. Here, there’s space for 150 day guests and a total of 200 evening guests.

A complimentary honeymoon room is offered for the wedding night.
