Hello, lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your Herts & Beds Wedding! With spring approaching, we’re excited to embrace this beautiful season and see what couples have up their sleeves.
The weather can be unpredictable this time of year, 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 for flowers offers an excellent choice for the time of year; think daffodils, tulips, hyacinth, crocus, Lily of the Valley, Iris and more blooms. 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 to 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 a heartfelt kindness will surely become a huge movement that we’re so excited to see. Read more about this shade on page 8! Another popular trend making a statement is champagne towers that add a touch of fun and class 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 venues 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 – there’s something for everyone.
That’s all from me, happy planning!

Moor Park Gold Club LTD
From Lords to Dukes and even Kings, Moor Park has always been a home for the most spectacular celebrations over the last 300 years. The magnificent Grade I listed mansion is set on 300 acres of stunning parkland. With stunning 17th-century architecture, bespoke menus and various room sizes, the setting offers a one-of-a-kind venue to get married in style. The team of event coordinators will be with pairs from start to finish, making the experience seamless and stress-free. On the day, the dedicated house managers will be on hand to help with any last-minute changes. The experienced toastmaster can ensure weddings move on schedule so pairs don’t have to worry.
The Manor Suite provides an exclusive setting with perfect lighting and ample space for the bridal party to relax and get ready in the hours leading up to the big event. A private dressing room with an array of mirrors allows the dress to be viewed from all angles.
The venue’s suppliers can cater for wedding breakfasts with 132 people and 150 evening guests. The recently refurbished Main Dining Room feels stunningly regal and was designed by Robert Adam in a neo-classical style for wedding breakfasts with 104 guests on round tables or 132 on long tables. The ceiling art was the work of Giovanni Battista Cipriani during the 18th-century and provided a wondrous sight as the room stretched across the full depth of the house. The Main Hall provides a spectacular space for drinks, receptions and dancing for 120 people. Bespoke paintings cover the walls and ceilings alongside the most intricate sculptures usually seen in museums worldwide. The inbuilt dancefloor and easy access to the event bar make the perfect place to celebrate as the sun sets. With its tube stop, mainline train station just a minute’s drive away and a new local hotel built within walking distance, Moor Park is the perfect venue for all guests, no matter their starting point.
