July/August 2021

 
This issue, there has been so much going on in the world and no, I’m not talking about the pandemic! Although on the topic of our Prime Minister Boris Johnson, he got married to his bride, Carrie Symonds, who rented her Christos Costarellos wedding dress which became the inspiration for my eco and sustainable wedding feature this issue. Would you, or wouldn’t you, rent yours? The happy couple then headed to Carbis Bay Estate in Cornwall not for their honeymoon but with other world leaders for the G7 Summit. We reveal all about this coastal retreat and its partnership with Moët & Chandon in our packed venue section.

Singer Ariana Grande caused an Instagram frenzy recently when she became married in an at-home celebration, coining the term ‘ceremini’ and her beautiful bridal make-up inspired our expert beauty feature this issue. We’ve got plenty more for a staycation summer spent wedding planning now that guest numbers have (finally) increased, from hydrangea-decorated cupcakes (my favourite flowers) to a converted Canadian school bus available to hire for weekend retreats so enjoy the issue and I’ll see you in September!

The Barnstaple Hotel

This contemporary hotel offers a welcoming feel with modern styling throughout. The idyllic setting makes it the perfect place for any wedding celebration with the quaint exterior of the property making a picturesque backdrop for big-day photographs.

The hotel is based around a pretty courtyard flanked with flowerbeds. There’s an outdoor pool with bedrooms looking out over it and a beautifully manicured lawn perfect for al fresco celebrations.

The courtyard is adjacent to the stylish Arlington Suite, which hosts ceremonies of up to 250 guests and close to the more intimate Ashford Suite that holds up to 40 loved ones. Both function spaces can be transformed to suit each couple’s vision.

The Ashford Suite, with its private bar, air conditioning and abundance of natural light, is perfect for a small wedding of up to 40 people while the Arlington Suite is best suited to larger affairs providing a dancefloor, mood lighting to complement the colour theme of the wedding and it’s licensed for entertainment.

Included in all wedding packages are flower arrangements for all tables, crisp white table linen, personalised printed menus, a red-carpet arrival, silver cake stand and knife and a dedicated wedding planner.

Award-winning make-up artist Lisa Armstrong shares her top make-up hacks
 
Lisa Armstrong, award-winning make-up artist and brand ambassador for new Beauty Hygiene Plus shares her top three make-up hacks...1."There are so many tips and tricks of the trade, however I think that when doing a make-up look, such as my smoky eye, I would advise that you always start with the eyes. When I do it at work, or on a new client, sometimes they think I'm mad because I haven't started with their face. By doing the eye make-up first, any fallout or mascara spillages that may happen are easy to clean up before you put your primer on and start with the face make-up. It allows you to make a beautiful base with no marks or smears, allowing you the most flawless finish!"
