REBRAND AND REUSE Formally known as Threads Bridal, Coco & Pearl is under new ownership with Hannah taking the helm. Hannahs says, “Keeping the same ethos as Threads Bridal, we strive to keep sustainability at the heart of everything we do. We sell sustainably sourced bridal items that are either second-hand, end-of-line, samples, or sometimes unworn but simply pre-owned. We also offer bridal alterations, in-house for our brides, to make it as easy as possible for you. “If you are looking for a more sustainable and affordable option then do come and see our shop in Holt, Norfolk to find your dream gown.” Call 07721 597 830 or visit www.cocoandpearlbridal.co.uk HEART AND ART BETWEEN EVERY LAYER Based in Ipswich, Wonderland Bakehouse is a cake studio known for creating elegant, bespoke wedding cakes that combine beauty, flavour, and meaning.

Alongside the incredible wellness space, there’s the addition of four luxurious bedrooms, a picturesque Italian Garden, wedding and events venue, an Orangery, and a Lounge Bar to give guests the most memorable experiences for all occasions. They say great things take time and this expansion project was no exception to that rule. Owner and local entrepreneur, Steven O’Leary, has invested £15m in enhancing Marquis Suffolk to create a unique destination with an unparalleled offering for the East of England. One of the jewels in the crown has to be the subterranean spa, which boasts an indoor and outdoor pool with views across the Brett Valley and three spacious treatment rooms. The Spa was shortlisted for Best New Spa by The Good Spa Guide within weeks of opening and awarded a 5 Bubble Luxury rating which speaks volumes to the team and the amazing work they do. This year is going to be a very exciting one with several weddings and events to look forward to and they cannot wait to showcase Marquis Suffolk in all its glory.
