HOT TOPIC Our local experts solve your wedding dilemmas THREE IS THE MAGIC NUMBER What are the three most important questions to ask when booking your wedding venue? The team at Wivenhoe House (WH) aways recommend asking the following: Do you do more than one wedding on the same day? One wedding per day means all of our attention is on you and you’re not battling with any other wedding party. Secondly: Are you dog friendly? More and more people are wanting their fur family members as part of their special day, and we are more than happy to oblige at WH! Finally: Do you do bespoke weddings? We say, your wedding, your way. Here, from your very first enquiry you are given an allocated wedding coordinator who will be able to work with you to create the day of your dreams. The Wedding Team | Wivenhoe House www.wivenhoehouse.co.uk FINDING ‘THE ONE’ Is there such a thing as trying on too many dresses? I have booked four appointments! There is! We suggest no more than one or two. More than this and you’ll risk over-shopping. There are literally millions of bridal gowns out there, so if you try on a hundred, you’ll feel paralysed by choice. You’ll be thoroughly dress-blind! We often see brides who have tried on too many dresses and have lost that excited feeling. These brides are usually the ones who want to make sure there’s ‘nothing else out there’ even though they found ‘the one’ on their first appointment. Or a well-meaning guest insists that they go to more shops as this is the first one they’ve been to. If you’ve found your dress trust your instincts.
