Katie and Frank felt an instant connection and a few years later tied the knot at Great Fosters. "We had booked a weekend away at Great Fosters to escape the city during the summer," says Katie. "We fell in love with the charming Tudor estate and beautiful gardens. We knew from the get-go that we wanted to get married outside and the property ticked all of our boxes."

Charlotte and Dan first met in high school. Charlotte tells us more about their big day: "I bought my dress two years before the wedding from TDR Bridal. I knew I wanted a mermaid style, but I shocked myself when I went for lace. I bought a detailed belt online to give the gown a little something extra. I accessorised with a faux fur shrug to keep me warm, and I also purchased versions for the bridesmaids."

Hair and make-up artist, Charmaine Gorwill gives us her top tips for repairing damaged skin.
"When working outside, prevention is key. Your skin should be protected as much as possible, so use SPF 50 every day, no matter how dull and grey the weather may be. If possible, layer up your protection with some kind of shielding, such as a scarf, to block out the harsh winds.
"Stay away from soap and minimise the use of hot water, as the temperature change can make your skin red and sore.
"A skincare routine every morning and night will benefit the hydration and texture of your skin. Use cleansing water and toner to clean it, don't use anything with too many chemicals and finish with a nourishing moisturiser afterwards. My favourite is Elemis they offer a wide range of products to suit everyone."

When this shoot first landed in our inbox, we just knew our lovely readers would adore it. Wedding and events manager, Annabel Candler tells us more about the images: “Calthwaite Hall's new Orangery started life before lockdown but when it was finally complete a troop of local creatives set about styling the site to create a hippy and retro style shoot. Surrounded by lush gardens and set next to an epic grand home, we worked on showcasing how any personality could work in the setting. Steering away from the moody tones of trending shoots, we endeavoured to capture bold greens, stunning lighting and fashion-forward styling.”

When this shoot first landed in our inbox, we just knew our lovely readers would adore it. To find out more, we spoke to stylist, Lucy Wells: “Hair and make-up artist, Lucia Penman, reached out to local wedding suppliers in a bid to find an opportunity to get creative during this difficult time. She wanted to create a boho, country-style theme, and despite some postponements along the way the vision was brought to life with design and styling from the team. Using the beautiful interior surroundings of Bury Court, we wanted to create a feeling of relaxed elegance with a warm and intimate feel. Using Pantone's colour of the year, rust, as initial inspiration we incorporated touches of copper alongside delicate floral arrangements and vintage furniture.”
