Embrace the colour green with this dashing suit from Next. Hello lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding! I hope you’ve all been keeping well and have been enjoying spring. There’s something so refreshing about this time of year; it’s all about fresh starts and new beginnings. I’m looking forward to the warm weather and longer days as we slowly creep towards summer. There’s nothing I love more than venturing outdoors; I’m talking picnic dates, barbecues with loved ones, forest walks with the dogs and beach days with friends. Summer is a wonderful time to tie the knot, not just because of the glorious sunshine – although that’s a huge perk! Thanks to the longer days, you’ll be able to have a later ceremony with plenty of time for your photographer to capture memorable pictures outdoors, especially those golden-hour shots! Imagine roasting marshmallows with loved ones around fire pits, enjoying outdoor games on the lawns or eating from a food truck. Thanks to the more consistent weather, the opportunities are endless. Planning a wedding is an exciting experience where you can create a dream-worthy day to celebrate your love and commitment to one another. This issue is packed with local suppliers who would be honoured to take part in your magical day; they’ll work with you to offer advice and help bring your visions to life. If you’re stuck with wedding planning and need inspiration, don’t forget to check out our beautiful weddings and styled shoots. I’m talking showstopping venues, gorgeous styling, oh-sobeautiful blooms and wow-factor touches. That’s all from me; happy planning!
