Your South Wales Wedding - January/February 2026 (Issue 107)

Especially for you Amy Mair Couture is hosting a showcase in London from 20th–23rd March 2026, highlighting Amy’s range of beautiful dresses. The brand specialises in couture wedding gowns that are handmade with precision and artistry. Each dress reflects the individuality and unique style of its brides, offering a bespoke experience that elevates wedding fashion. Based in Barry, brides begin their experience with an initial consultation, where they discuss their vision and inspirations for the gown. This is followed by the selection of fabrics, laces, and embellishments, before multiple fittings ensure a flawless look. Amy tells us: “Your wedding dress should be more than just a dress; it should be a reflection of you. I pour my heart and soul into every creation, ensuring that each gown is a masterpiece of artistry and emotion. My goal? To make you feel radiant, confident, and utterly unforgettable on your wedding day.” For more information, visit amymaircouture.co.uk AWARD-WINNING SETTING Norton House Hotel, a Georgian seaside retreat, has won Best Boutique Venue 2025 (South and Central Region) at the Welsh National Wedding Awards – congratulations!

REST AND RELAXATION Lush Spa Cardiff has launched 13 spa treatments that make the perfect pre-wedding gift for any bride- or groom-to-be. From a hot chocolate body scrub enjoyed under a warm duvet and a Scottish stone reading hot stone massage to a facial accompanied by a soundtrack of positive affirmations, there’s something to suit everyone. With prices ranging from £40 to £275, there are plenty of standout options, including the Book A Bath: Sticky Dates experience. This private, self-led bathing ritual is an ideal gift for anyone who loves to indulge in a long soak, or perhaps doesn’t have the luxury of a bath at home.
