The five-star Celtic Manor Resort  is set in 2,000 acres of panoramic parkland at the gateway to Wales, with spectacular views over pristine golf courses and the beautiful Usk Valley, stretching as far as the eye can see.

As well as a beautiful range of reception venues to suit any style or size of wedding, the luxury resort boasts award-winning dining, three championship golf courses (including the Twenty Ten Course, the first course in history to be designed and built specifically to host The Ryder Cup), two exceptional spas, two state-of-the-art health clubs, fishing, adventure golf, treetop high ropes course and tennis courts.

Pentillie Castle is all three. A castle, a wedding venue, and in Cornwall.

As well as these attributes, it is also a truly special place steeped in history, run by the same family who have ties to the castle for more than 300 years, and their fantastic team who care about nothing more than making your day truly memorable.

As we become more eco-conscious as a society, many couples are looking to celebrate their special day in the same fashion. Weddings are being celebrated in style and luxury at Bournemouth’s favourite eco-boutique hotel as The Green House happily proves you can deliver the big day sustainably with its very special green wedding package.

Woughton House – MGallery By Sofitel has opened following the extensive refurbishment of a heritage Georgian country house in the village of Woughton-On-Green, one of the few remaining medieval villages around which Milton Keynes was built. A hidden gem, the luxury boutique hotel is the perfect location for an idyllic, country wedding.  Surrounded by acres of stunning parkland, lakes and orchards of the Ouzel Valley Park in the Buckinghamshire countryside, it offers a picturesque setting for weddings.

The planning has started for your big day, there's guest lists, dates, photographers and so much more that needs doing. But the wedding venue should be one of the first things on your to-do list, as it can determine your date, location and even your maximum number of guests. Once you have picked your venue you can then start to plan everything else around it.

Fragrance is personal. Most of us know what we like and what we don’t. However, buying a fragrance for a special occasion can be difficult, especially if that occasion is your wedding day – a moment you will remember for the rest of your life, making the scent you choose forever associated with the memory. Specialising in a range of vintage perfumes, reimagined with a modern edge, we asked Sophia Fannon-Howell, founder of British perfume house, Deco London, for her advice on finding the perfect Wedding scent.
