Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding - Page number 6 - September/October 2021 (Issue 88)

95 W hat a difference a few weeks make! The world of weddings has gone from nought to sixty since restrictions have been lifted. The floodgates have opened and suppliers up and down the region are busier than ever with all the pent-up demand and postponed weddings. Not even a global pandemic has stopped couples planning their big day, some for the third or fourth time! Others have tied the knot regardless, downsizing their guest lists and forgoing many of the things we take for granted like packing out the dancefloor, group hugs and partying the night away. Intimate weddings have proved to be just as beautiful and meaningful though, bringing many of the most important things into sharper focus, like spending quality time with our nearest and dearest and savouring the moment. With just 13 people at their nature-inspired wedding Lucy and Toby’s celebration was a real triumph and you can read all about it from page 35. Packed with all the regular features, we’ve got your whole day covered from the hen party (page 85) to the dress shopping (page 69), local venues, expert advice and more. And when your day comes, don’t forget to get in touch afterwards for the chance to share it with our readers.
