November/December 2024

 
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. I’m blessed to be a proud auntie to my little nephew, Malachi who will have a brother or sister born soon – the best present ever! I’ve also been lucky enough to experience some memorable trips and experiences this year, including to Lefkada in Greece and the TRS Ibiza Hotel. Read about this amazing property, the ideal pick for honeymooners on page 89.

To celebrate this festive period, I’ve compiled a seasonal issue for you to enjoy. There’s everything from themed real weddings and a styled shoot to snow-capped venues, perfect for winter weddings.

Don’t miss the latest news, offers, fashion, beauty and honeymoon inspiration plus there are handmade ideas for those planning a DIY wedding and local photographers reveal their favourite festive snaps. For those of you getting married soon, I wish you many congratulations and for those not taking the plunge until 2025, I’ll see you next issue.

Happy Christmas!

Luxstowe House

This magnificent Gothic-style Grade II listed house, complete with turrets, started its life as a family home in 1831. Guests will be impressed as they enter through the impressive and striking porch complete with oak and glass-panelled doors, where they will then be escorted to the wedding room and magnificent entrance, the perfect place for photo opportunities.

Luxstowe House stands within its own grounds with impressive outdoor photo opportunities, from the backdrop of this striking house and its grand entrance to the paved front terrace.

Ceremonies take place in the opulent Ceremony Room with its plush, soft carpet and velvet chairs combined with an intimate, warm and welcoming feeling. The simple, understated, but stylish décor provides a sense of serenity and calm, providing couples with a beautiful backdrop for their special day.

Via Velluto by Fabbrica Della Musa is a honeymoon hit
 
If you're looking for a new luxury scent for your honeymoon, my perfume pick this issue is the fruity and fun Via Velluto by Fabbrica Della Musa (£195, 100ml). Mouth-wateringly fresh, this sophisticated scent blends notes from the Mediterranean and Asia and is the perfect fragrance for a warm destination trip. Created by renowned perfumer Hamid Merati-Kashani, it opens with a mix of raspberry notes underpinned by a sensual balsamic woody incense throughout. The heart is floral with jasmine and peony, and finishes with leather, sandalwood and caramel, which together form a scent that lifts the spirits and makes you feel on top of the world.
