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!

Eden Project
The Eden Project is an iconic venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions across four unique locations. Couples can experience a destination wedding, without flying, in the Rainforest or Mediterranean Biomes. They can take in the view of the world-famous Biomes from The Gallery or enjoy the best of both for larger weddings in The Kitchen, located between the two Biomes.
Nestled in a huge crater, surrounded by 28 acres of contemporary outdoor gardens, backed by architecturally astounding Biomes - there’s no other venue quite like the Eden Project. By day, it’s a lush botanical paradise; by night, twinkling lights transform the different areas into a fairytale-inspired location. Not only is the Eden Project an unparalleled wedding destination, it’s also a registered charity, providing environmental education, and inspiring positive action for the planet. By choosing to get married at the Eden Project, couples are directly contributing to the charity’s educational mission and conservation projects, which take place across the UK and the world, such as the rewilding works of the National Wildflower Centre.
Ceremonies take place in a choice of spaces:
•Rainforest Biome – exclusive hire from 5 pm to 12:30 am (20 – 80 capacity)
•Mediterranean Biome – exclusive hire from 5 pm to 12:30 am (30 – 180 capacity)
•Gallery - exclusive hire all day and evening until 12:30 am (180 – 400 capacity)
•The Kitchen - exclusive hire from 6 pm until 1 am (500 capacity)
•Stage - ice rink between October and March (on enquiry)
Receptions take place in a choice of spaces:
•Mediterranean Biome – exclusive hire from 5 pm to 12:30 am (30 – 170 capacity)
•Gallery – exclusive hire all day and evening until 12:30 am (180 - 500 capacity)
•Eden Kitchen - exclusive hire from 6 pm until 12:30 am (500 capacity)
•Stage (on enquiry)
Home to Hangloose, adrenalin lovers can make an entrance by arriving on England’s fastest zip wire. High above the rainforest canopy, the Rainforest Platform provides an unparalleled setting for photographs and there are numerous wow-factor locations around the Outdoor Gardens with the Biomes in the background, or tucked away along lush pathways for a secret garden-style setting.
The team at Eden Project provides flexibility to accommodate dream weddings, offering no-obligation tours. All wedding guests will be provided with a personalised voucher from the couple to return the following day at no extra charge.
