March/April 2024 |
| |
With spring approaching, we’re excited to embrace this beautiful season and see what couples have up their sleeves. The weather can be unpredictable, so it’s always essential to devise a wet-weather plan to relax, knowing you’ve covered all your bases in the run-up to your wedding – especially for those opting for al fresco celebrations.
The seasonal availability of flowers offers an excellent choice for the time of year; think daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, crocus and Lily of the Valley. It’s an excellent opportunity to embrace a colourful and bold colour scheme using nature’s palette.
Who doesn’t like abundant flowers from bouquets, gorgeous arrangements and installations? Remember, you can move your florals throughout the day to ensure a picture-perfect backdrop for the vows, wedding breakfast and reception while staying on budget. Floral arches are my personal favourite!
Expect Pantone’s Colour of The Year, Peach Fuzz, to grace the wedding industry. The compassionate and nurturing soft peach shade conveying heartfelt kindness will surely become a huge movement we’re so excited to see. Another popular trend making a statement is champagne towers that add a touch of fun to weddings while serving guests a glass of bubbly.
If you’re at the start of your planning journey, you’ve come to the right place because we cover everything from fashion, beauty, cakes, venues and more. When searching for a property, I advise seeing if any of your shortlisted properties are hosting wedding shows, as spring is a popular time for these events. It allows you to look around the spaces, meet local suppliers, discuss your big day and ask plenty of questions. For those creeping closer to your special day, we have plenty of last-minute tips and tricks to ensure a stress-free wedding and the perfect finishing touches for that extra wow factor. So, no matter where you’re at with wedding planning, there’s something for everyone.
That's all from me; happy planning!

Andaz London Liverpool Street
Andaz London Liverpool Street presents a unique, diverse range of event spaces perfect for weddings of all shapes and forms. Located just next to Liverpool Street Station, the property is the ideal setting for guests travelling from all around London or surrounding counties.
With fourteen unique spaces to choose from, the hotel has an answer to every kind of dream wedding. The 1901 Ballroom offers a grand visual backdrop for wedding photos and even features an original stained-glass dome preserved through two world wars. It’s the ideal space for tying the knot for anyone who wants that traditional white wedding but with an added wow factor.
The Masonic Temple is perhaps one of London’s best-kept secrets housed in the depths of the hotel. Concealed by heavy, studded doors and accessed via a winding staircase and a spacious mahogany panelled anteroom, this is the city’s only original Freemason’s meeting lodge, built in 1912. The temple features magnificent marble and original masonic chairs, bringing the room’s history to life. Opulently furnished in twelve varieties of Grade II listed Italian marble, with Doric and Ionic columns, gilt fittings and a splendid zodiac ceiling, the temple was rediscovered only by chance during the hotel’s refurbishment.
The Andaz Studio A is a modern, self-contained event room with an open-plan kitchen that encourages interaction with the chefs and floor-to ceiling windows overlooking Liverpool Street, providing plenty of natural daylight. The feature cellar wall and photographs of the team evoke a local feel, paired with the room’s contemporary loft-style aesthetic.
The Great Eastern Room nods to the hotel’s original name; this large, contemporary, multi-functional dining space is ideal for wedding receptions. The space leads to a bright, airy Guggenheim-inspired adjoining atrium, which is flooded with natural light. Customisable neon lighting is available on ceilings and windows, allowing for delightful personal touches to be made.
The Bishopsgate & Chancery is a traditional Victorian event space with artfully designed high ceilings and plenty of daylight through sizable windows. With stunning architecture and lighting, the setting creates beautiful, sophisticated wedding photos and a grand atmosphere. Licensed for weddings, the adjoining Chancery room is ideal for ceremonies, catering, or pre-dinner drinks.
Fenchurch is open and airy, featuring beautiful architecture, central fireplaces and grand columns. With its refreshment area, it’s ideal for the vows and wedding receptions.
With 267 spacious and modern guest rooms, including 15 suites, guests can sink into a night of luxury in uniquely decorated rooms that all embody the welcoming ethos of the Andaz.
