May/June 2022 |
| |
It dawned on me a few weeks ago that this is my final issue before I become a married woman - it still feels weird saying that! Our July 2022 wedding is just around the corner, and I don’t know where the time has gone. I’ve just had my final dress fitting, my hair and make-up trial and confirmed all the last-minute details but I still feel like I’m forgetting something! My partner and I are planning to sit down together at the end of the month and iron out all the small details so we can spend the next few weeks relaxing.
We were finally able to give notice this month, which was a big relief. Our local registry office is still overwhelmed by the backlog caused by the pandemic and is only taking bookings for weddings three months in advance, so we’ve had to wait until now to book our appointment, but thankfully it all went well. If you’re due to tie the knot soon, keep checking your council’s website for availability, as appointments are hard to come by.
This issue, to help you on your planning journey, we’ve put together showstopping features focusing on cakes and transport. We’re also looking at venues in Neath and Barry, the latest fashion trends and must-see honeymoon destinations.
Remember, if you’ve recently celebrated your day or have been involved with a shoot, you can submit it here or via email.

Gileston Manor
Tucked away off the beaten track and set in nine acres of lovingly kept gardens and grounds is the five-star Gileston Manor Estate. The Grade II* listed manor house is situated in the award-winning village of Gileston in the Vale of Glamorgan and boasts sweeping front lawns and impressive sea views. The Georgian property has recently been renovated and includes an elegant wedding room on the first floor, complete with original panelling, mirrors and crystal chandeliers.
The estate houses the pretty church of St Giles, which is perfect for couples planning a religious ceremony. Civil ceremonies can be hosted in a variety of settings, including the manor house, Secret Garden, and numerous other spaces within the gardens. The neutrally decorated Lotus Marquee has sparkling chandeliers, views of the Jurassic Coast and can comfortably seat 140 dinner guests for the wedding breakfast with room for more in the evening.
The house has eight exquisite guest suites, all individually themed and styled, including the bridal suite which was designed by David Emanuel. Additional accommodation can be found in the recently renovated courtyard, eight luxury cottages and suites, sleeping a further 24 guests, providing accommodation for 42 people in total.
