32 59 Megan and Simon incorporated summery hues into their big day at Llechwen Hall Hotel & Restaurant. Harriet and David opted for a black and white colour scheme for their nuptials at The Old Rectory Hotel. Fall in love with this romantic styled shoot at Court Colman Manor. Whether you’re newly engaged or are a long-term reader, congratulations! I tied the knot just over two years ago and believe me when I say it goes by in a flash! From putting my dress on to the speeches, it felt like just minutes had passed. My number one piece of advice is to take some time out, just the two of you, to have a chat and take everything in. Keep in mind that the day is about celebrating your love, so it’s important that you spend time together. I didn’t see much of my husband in the evening and I wish we’d taken more time to dance and chat with each other. Things will go wrong, but that’s okay. On the day, you won’t notice the little things, and all that will matter is celebrating with your friends and family. Surround yourself with people that you love and trust. My bridesmaids were absolutely amazing in the run-up to the wedding and on the day itself. They kept my nerves in check and made sure I felt like a beautiful bride. To help you plan your special day, we’ve put together an issue full of inspiration. We have a guide to planning your big day, ideas for intimate celebrations and local historic venues. If that’s not enough, we also highlight showstopping dresses, wow-factor honeymoon destinations and the latest fashion and beauty trends. Happy planning!

THE GREAT OUTDOORS Looking for something different for your mini-moon or honeymoon? The Vale of Rheidol Railway in Wales is the perfect way to see the stunning Cambrian Mountains from a vantage point you can only get to by train. During this new experience, you’ll travel through 12 miles of glorious Welsh scenery on one of the most spectacular railway journeys in the UK. And you’ll do it all from the comfort of your carriage, travelling behind a vintage steam locomotive built in the 1920s. As you travel from Aberystwyth on Cardigan Bay to Devil’s Bridge in the heart of the Cambrian Mountains, you can chat with the railway’s knowledgeable loco crews, watch as red kites, once threatened with extinction, fly overhead, and soak up the views that can only be seen from the railway line. Once you arrive at Devil’s Bridge, you can visit the famous waterfalls and learn more about the legend that led to their name; indulge yourself at the award-winning Sarah Bunton’s Chocolate Shop; soak up the atmosphere while enjoying a drink and tasty treat at the Two Hoots Café or a full meal at the Hafod Inn; take a walk between the railway’s restored stations on one of the many paths and trails; or, for the truly adventurous, try your hand at driving one of the steam locomotives. And when you are ready, board your train for the return journey to the seaside town of Aberystwyth. Head over to www.rheidolrailway.co.uk for more information. DRINK IT ALL IN Pembrokeshire country house hotel, Grove of Narberth, has unveiled a new dining experience with the launch of a creative, non-alcoholic drink pairing menu at its signature restaurant, Fernery. Carefully crafted and curated by head sommelier Cathryn Bell and executive chef Douglas Balish, this innovative offering is set to redefine the offering at Grove of Narberth and showcase that amazing dining experiences can be just as indulgent with non-alcoholic options. Using ingredients sourced as much as possible from the hotel’s own gardens and local producers, the pairings draw inspiration from fruits, vegetables, herbs and spices. Using cold-pressed fruits and vegetables as a base, the team layers herbs and spices for flavour, along with teas for tannin and texture. They’ve also incorporated vinegar to add depth and length to their creations. The new drink pairings are as complex and delicious as their traditional alcoholic counterparts, and above all, they are fun, making these pairings an exciting journey of discovery and creation.

However, according to new research by Airbnb, a calendar full of weddings is causing increasing stress and financial worries for guests. So, to make the experience more enjoyable and affordable, Airbnb has partnered with fashion rental app By Rotation to ease the planning involved and lower the cost of attending. The collaboration sees complimentary outfit rentals offered to Airbnb guests who stay in top wedding destinations. Sugar Loaf Barn in Monmouthshire is one of the 10 hotels taking part in the collaboration. This spacious and cosy barn is located on a working sheep farm on the Sugar Loaf Mountain, with a fantastic private patio area where you can enjoy a barbecue outside. Amanda Cupples, the general manager for the UK and Northern Europe at Airbnb, said: “Watching loved ones tie the knot should be a cause for celebration, not worry. With our research showing that guest stress is snowballing, we want to try to ease that pressure. Partnering with By Rotation couldn’t have ‘married’ up more perfectly, as their fashion expertise enables wedding guests to hire their dream outfit in a more sustainable and costfriendly way. This, combined with Airbnb’s range of unforgettable stays all over the globe, where you can have the place totally to yourself, helps make the wedding guest experience all the easier and more affordable too.” Find out more at www.airbnb.com/weddingwardrobes LAST MINUTE OFFERS Craig Y Nos Castle, a wedding venue in the upper Swansea Valley, has extended its last-minute wedding deals to cover Fridays and Saturdays in 2025.

MOUNT ROOMS HOTEL, CF62 7XY 01446 370 145 | www.themountrooms.co.uk Having been an established hotel for many years and being located within the heart of Barry, surrounded by lots of history, it was realised that the landmark Mount Rooms Hotel was something much desired, and the facilities of the hotel were being missed.

Lauren and Rob chose a white and green colour scheme for their wedding at Crug Glâs Country House Images courtesy of Neil Williams Photography Lauren and Rob met through work in 2015. “I thought he was really charming and we got on really well,” says Lauren. “Our relationship grew and in 2023, Rob proposed while we were in Cardiff. We went back to the first hotel that we stayed in together and I had no idea that he was going to pop the question. It caught me by complete surprise.” Read on to see some of Lauren’s favourite moments from their big day... Classic elegance REAL WEDDINGS 27
Our centrepieces were white and green flowers provided by The Dancing Daffodil. We chose Holy Name R C Church in Fishguard, Pembrokeshire, for our ceremony. Rob and I picked Crug Glâs Country House for our reception because it was large enough to cater for our 160 day guests and the food and staff were amazing. Our favours were rocky road made by my mother. We chose a white, green and blush pink arch that sat behind the top table. We hired a Rolls-Royce from Phantom Hire and a bus from Lewis Rhydlewis to transport our guests. My mother made our cake. It was white with edible pearls and made up of lemon and chocolate sponge. Crug Glâs Country House provided the excellent food, which all of our guests thoroughly enjoyed. 28
I wore an ivory dress called Bexley by Ellis from Sophie Grace Bridal and earrings by Lily & Roo. All of the speeches were funny and emotional. We did the speeches before the food so everyone could relax afterwards. We both felt so happy and relaxed on the day of the wedding. To keep everyone entertained, we hired a band called John Adams Music, which all of our guests loved. We also had DJ Dan Morgan, who was amazing and adored by all. My bridesmaids opted for beautiful dark green dresses. Rob chose a dinner suit with a dark green jacket from Dress For The Occasions. To celebrate our marriage, we’re planning to go away with our kids later in the year. The weather was amazing and everyone enjoyed being outside. REAL WEDDINGS 29

Summer loving Megan and Simon incorporated summery hues into their big day at Llechwen Hall Hotel & Restaurant Images courtesy of Timea Danci Photography 32
Megan and Simon met in their third year of university. “I was running a social for some of the students and a mutual friend introduced us,” says Megan. “Simon immediately caught my eye, and the three of us ended up getting dinner before the social started. We started out as just friends, but there was a clear connection there from the beginning; we had the same sense of humour, enjoyed the same movies, were both close with our families and loved dogs. A few months later, we had our first official date on Valentine’s Day and the rest is history.” Simon proposed in February 2022, around six years after they first started dating. “My mom had flown over from the USA, where I’m from, a few months prior and had given Simon my grandmother’s engagement ring, so I knew it was going to happen but wasn’t sure where or when,” shares the bride. “Simon initially intended to propose on a sunset walk in Llanelli while we were visiting his parents, but at the last moment his sister tagged along for the walk, so he wasn’t able to. About a month later, he brought the ring along on another walk with the intention of proposing, but when we got there, it was so muddy that we could hardly walk and were falling over, so he chose to wait again. Finally, it ended up happening at home in our living room, following a conversation about our future that was totally spontaneous. Not the most romantic location, but it didn’t matter to me; I was just happy to finally be engaged and to get to marry my best friend.” SETTING THE SCENE “We wanted a venue that had both indoor and outdoor locations for the ceremony; it was our hope to get married outside, but with the Welsh weather, we knew that we needed a good backup plan,” explains Megan. “We knew within minutes of arriving at Llechwen Hall Hotel & Restaurant that it was the venue for us; the views overlooking South Wales were absolutely stunning, and the hotel itself was really charming and cosy. The whole venue really felt like us.” To help their guests find their seats, the couple had a table plan designed by Glass Bulldog. “They did all of our stationery before and on the day,” reveals Megan. “We named our tables after Welsh cities and towns that we had visited. To decorate the tables, we chose gold candlesticks with light blue and taupe candles, glass and stoneware vases and flowers supplied by Petal Power. I wanted a simple and earthy look, brightened by the candlesticks and florals. For our flowers, I worked with Anne-Marie from Petal Power to bring our vision to life and she couldn’t have done a better job! “I wanted our cake to have a similar look and feel to my wedding dress,” adds the bride. “To add a bit of colour to the design, Waterlily Cake Design added a few brush strokes on the cake. We also had vegan cake pops on the side, also in our wedding colours.” DRESSED TO IMPRESS “My dress was a Stella York design in a champagne colour,” remembers Megan. “I had initially seen it in the window of Laura May Bridal, and as I worked nearby, I’d pass it every day. I tried on about five other dresses before trying this one on, and when I walked out in it, my mom and best 33 REAL WEDDINGS
