AN INVESTMENT PIECE My wedding dress is quite simple, so I’m looking to make a statement with my jewellery. What would you suggest? To make a statement with jewellery I’d recommend a necklace such as the one pictured (stock number: 06-01-0197, £4,330). Sure to catch the eye, it exudes class and elegance. This particular necklace has an adjustable length that can be tailored to any neckline with an articulated diamond-set centre piece. Featuring 1.15ct of diamonds and set in 18ct white gold, the floral design radiates bridal beauty. Each section moves on its own and glistens in the light. It would be beautifully complemented with matching drop earrings. An amazing choice for your wedding day, it could also be worn for a number of occasions, which is an important consideration when investing in wedding jewellery. Sure to bring back wonderful memories and the magic of your big day every time you put it on, such a special item could allow you to start a family tradition and pass it down as a treasured heirloom for future generations to wear. Josh Getting, www.austenjewellers.co.uk IN THE COUNTRY We’re pretty open minded when it comes to the type of venue we choose for our big day. What are the benefits of barn venues in particular? Barns instantly have the wow factor even before you step into them. They offer a welcoming feel particularly when they’re older original structures, which ooze a sense of history, character and beauty. Brick and flint, exposed beams, period features... what more could you wish for? Barns offer a real natural and raw beauty that you can’t find in other types of venues, exuding a wonderful character and a sense of space and calm. Being among nature surrounded by trees naturally makes everyone feel instantly relaxed. Flexible and large open spaces are always a big hit too. Cissbury Barns for example gives you the whole package – a stunning estate and countryside setting hidden in the South Downs that’s exclusive to you.
