So, when the bride is also a wedding supplier in the form of O’Hares Jewellers’ Rachael Whitwam, we were ready to sit up and pay attention. You can read all about her big day from page 37, but in the meantime here are some top planning tips from the bride herself. Rachael tells us, “We got as much as possible sorted and booked early on to give ourselves a much wider choice of suppliers. Everyone gets booked up so far in advance, especially for summer weddings, so this really helped to take the pressure off, giving us months where we didn’t have to think about wedding planning at all. “We had a few private dance lessons during the three weeks leading up to the wedding, which made us feel more relaxed about the first dance. Neither of us are dancers, so we kept it simple, but it made something potentially daunting fun and enjoyable. It was magical to be in the Great Hall at Peckforton Castle surrounded by our family and friends dancing to All of Me by John Legend. “Our wedding video made such a difference to us after the big day. It captures the moments you can’t get in photos alone. Our video by Harvey Films was beautifully edited and such a joy to watch. If you’re undecided about whether to have one, we can’t recommend it enough. We can’t stop watching ours!” EDITOR LOVES RECHARGE FOR W-DAY With 2022 bringing continued pandemic challenges, spa bookings agency Spabreaks.com is working with the UK’s top spas to offer new tailored packages designed to give you that all-important time out to recharge and boost wellbeing.
