November/December 2022

 
Yes, it’s that magical time of the year once again! I don’t know about you but this year has passed by quickly for me, and luckily it has been a wonderful one. We’ve celebrated my mum and dad’s Golden Wedding Anniversary, we’re looking forward to welcoming our Australian relatives to the UK this Christmas and my brother and sister-in-law are having their first baby this December which is the best present ever! I also managed to take a couple of sun-drenched trips this year, including to Oia in Santorini where I stayed at the fabulous Villa Mellow, booked through The Greek Villas (www.thegreekvillas.com/destinations/ santorini-villas/oia/mellow) and to Athens where I was very spoilt in the rooftop 501 Milos Terrace Suite at boutique hotel xenodocheio Milos (www.xenodocheiomilos.com). Read all about these wonderful properties, perfect for honeymooners in my Greece is the word review on page 94.

To celebrate the festive period, we’ve compiled a seasonal issue for you to enjoy. There’s everything from stunning summery-themed real weddings and a coastal-styled shoot for couples planning al fresco nuptials next year to snow-capped venues perfect for winter weddings. Don’t miss the latest news, offers, fashion, beauty and honeymoon ideas plus there are handmade ideas for those planning a DIY wedding, and advice about big-day photography and videography.

For those of you getting married soon then I wish you many congratulations and for those not taking the plunge until 2023, I’ll see you next issue.

Happy Christmas!

Tawstock Court

Tawstock Court is a fine Georgian country house boasting a castle-like appearance. It sits proudly on a hill with 32 acres of grounds and ancient woodland looking across the North Devon countryside.

The fountain at the front and the 16th-century Elizabethan Gatehouse with its original wood doors both offer a great setting for a ceremony and big-day photographs. Another al fresco ceremony option is outside the front of the house on the grounds with a backdrop of views stretching across the valley to Codden Hill.

The Courtyard has recently been transformed into a stunning space with ambience lighting, plenty of tables and seating underneath a canopy of fairylights, a decked area and swinging chairs.

Indoor ceremonies take place in The Panelled Hall for up to 90 guests with its two carved wooden pillars and working fireplace. The large front doors open out on to the balustrade with the fountain in the background. Alternatively, St. Peter’s Church is a two-minute walk down the bottom of the garden.

Two period-style comfortable lounges form a Gatsby-inspired cocktail and gin bar. The Main Bar is modern, yet vintage in style with a flagstone floor and The Old Refectory, which has been transformed into an elegant function room to host larger receptions has a beautiful parquet floor and reclaimed wood feature wall. In the evening, it sets the stage for a band or a disco with up to 180 guests.

For intimate, smaller wedding receptions, the Grey room holds up to 48 guests and is a lovely space located at the front of the house with period features and stunning views.
