Pearls are and have long been a big feature of bridal jewellery. Perhaps it’s the associated symbolism of purity or their classic look, but pieces featuring these natural beauties are ever-evolving. How stunning is this drop necklace with diamond accents by Jeremy France Jewellers? Why not think outside the box and look for somewhere different to host your big day? The region is full of cool and quirky places to celebrate, such as God’s House Tower in Southampton’s Old Town. Real bride Nicola told us: “Byron wanted an old country house with history while I was after a modern contemporary look; Balmer Lawn Hotel has a perfect mix of both!” James and Lauren hosted a cricket match in the middle of their venue’s grounds, roping in as many guests as possible who didn’t mind picking up a grass stain or two. Shoot organiser Elizabeth Gordon at Beulah Flowers pulled together a team of industry experts to showcase the Purbeck coastline. EDITOR’S LETTER 7
