May/June 2023 |
| |
Hello everyone and welcome to another issue of Your South Wales Wedding. As always, our May/June is full of inspiration, but my favourite part has to be our cake feature. I look forward to writing it every year, even if it does make me incredibly hungry afterwards! When I got married last year, we went back and forth about our wedding cake. My husband (it still feels weird saying that) doesn’t have a sweet tooth, whereas I can’t get enough of anything smothered in chocolate! After talking to our families, we decided to go for layers of lemon and chocolate – delish! If you’re struggling to find the perfect company, begin by searching online and looking in magazines for inspiration. Once you’ve found a company you like, make sure you look at their past work to see if they can create the design that you’re after. It’s also important to read their reviews, check if they’re in your price range and that they’re available on your wedding date.
Cakes are more than just something sweet to eat, they’re also a fun way of adding personal touches to your day. For our cake topper, we chose figures of us dressed in our wedding attire with our beloved cat, and I cannot recommend this enough. All our guests commented on how wonderful it was, and nearly a year later, I still look at it every day. If you have the budget, it’s worth investing in a memento that you can display in your home. Believe me, when I say the day goes by in a flash, so you’ll love having something to look at regularly.
If you’ve recently tied the knot or organised a styled shoot, you can submit it by email or via our website.

Rhosygilwen
Rhosygilwen has been a special place to tie the knot for more than 20 years, offering a dreamy setting for ceremonies and receptions. Situated in the Pembrokeshire countryside, the Gothic Victorian mansion creates an unforgettable backdrop for your vows, not to mention the extensive gardens are perfect for capturing photographs that will last a lifetime.
There are four bedrooms available in the Courtyard Cottages for your most important guests and the team can help organise extra accommodation with high-quality providers in the region.
Neuadd y Dderwen (The Oak Hall) is available for weddings and comes with a full bar. With its oak beams on show and windows overlooking the glorious countryside, very little is required to decorate this space. It can accommodate up to 200 guests for the ceremony, 150 for the wedding breakfast and 250 for the evening party.
For a more intimate affair, The Orangery, with its chequerboard floor, lantern roof light and chandeliers, is ideal.
