Your London Wedding - September/October 2023 (Issue 91)

Kate and Justin’s four-legged friends made an appearance on their special day! Yorkies Tybalt and Rupert are the first dogs to be approved inside St. Paul’s Cathedral for a wedding and wore cute monogram tuxedos with matching bespoke top hats. Hello lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your London Wedding! As the warmer weather starts to fade and the darker evenings creep in, it’s time to welcome autumn with open arms. There’s nothing better than an autumnal stroll hand-in-hand; plus, I’m a jumper girl at heart and love wrapping up warm. I’m in heaven when getting cosy on the sofa with a blanket and hot chocolate while watching my favourite Halloween film. I’m a big kid, so I couldn’t be more excited to go pumpkin picking and bringing out my cottage-core decorations around my home. I’ve also challenged myself to do homemade baking – I’ve made butter, jam and chutneys. My next goal is to create the perfect homemade bread and rolls! The scenery has embraced shares of orange, red and yellow this time of year, which creates the ultimate backdrop for weddings. Embrace the rich tones and seasonal foliage in your venue styling for autumnal nuptials – I’m talking berries, acorns, dahlias and hydrangeas. This can also be transpired throughout your stationery, florals and cake. Add incense around your venue with scents like pumpkin spice or cinnamon for that extra wow factor. Fill your venue with candles to enhance the romantic atmosphere; we suggest LED candles as a safe, child-friendly alternative. There are many ways to add special seasonal touches to your day. Have you considered a hot chocolate station with marshmallows, syrups and chocolate flakes? Add a box of blankets to keep loved ones from getting chilly when the temperature drops in the evening, and why not offer spice-scented candles for wedding favours? We love seeing couples take guests outside to enjoy sparklers and fireworks to light up the dark sky while ending the night with a bang. For those just starting their wedding journey, autumn is the perfect time to visit a few wedding shows to discover plenty of companies and look around venues. Meeting suppliers in person will allow you to gauge what the team are like and if they’re a good fit for your day. You can view their work, keep up-to-date with the latest trends, find inspiration and ask plenty of questions. Some suppliers even offer special discounts or offers at events, so grab your loved ones for a fun day of wedding planning. This issue is bursting full of inspiration thanks to the wonderful suppliers around London! We have autumnal must-haves, drawdropping weddings, showstopping venues, expert advice, gowns galore and top honeymoon destinations. Flick to our beauty pages to discover the latest product launches and wellness advice, or discover all the latest happenings from around the city across our news pages. We also have whole features dedicated to wedding catering and boutiques to help the planning process. That’s all from me; happy planning!
