Couples can walk through the spectacular Hintze Hall, Darwin Centre and Earth Hall via 3D technology, either independently or with a member of the team. As one of the most iconic settings in London, the magnificent architecture and awe-inspiring collections create an impressive backdrop for weddings, from informal gatherings to grand affairs. “Tools like this can help transform the wedding planning industry while we haven’t been able to showcase this incredible place,” says head of events and catering, Robert Wetherell. “I’m thrilled that our clients can now experience the venue and visualise their own event taking place here.” Take the tour at www.nhm.ac.uk Jewel of the aisle After a ten-year career in Derbyshire, Roseanna Croft Jewellery is preparing to take her business to new heights by making the move to London. Roseanna has crafted pieces for royalty, created stunning bespoke designs and even reincarnated heirloom pieces, and she’s now looking forward to a move to the capital. “I cannot wait to write our new chapter as a London brand,” Roseanna says. “We’ve achieved so much, from opening our first retail space to making hand-crafted pieces for the stars; I’m so looking forward to continuing this on a new scale.” Established in 2012 with a focus on creating ethical pieces, Roseanna began making her jewellery from recycled metal and sourcing gemstones from artisan miners and gem cutters to support other small businesses. She’s also highly lauded in the industry for working with customer’s own jewellery with sentimental value and transforming it into a new piece to suit their style.

The company has created bespoke packages for virtual hen dos and at-home tastings. Hen dos are available for groups of six, and are led by an expert host over Zoom, as they take participants through a live tasting of their bespoke wine selection, which will be sent to each guests’ home. For wedding postponements, a fully customisable private wine tasting package can be arranged. Why not choose wine inspired by where you were due to get married or go on honeymoon?
