Hello lovely readers and welcome back to another issue of Your Herts and Beds Wedding.
We’ve worked hard this issue to gather some of the most talented suppliers to offer tips and tricks to create memorable weddings. Expect to find plenty of big-day inspiration on each page, from stunning dresses to top planning advice.
Make sure to flick to our real wedding features and read the heartwarming love stories from local couples. Learn what made their day stand out and all the lovely details plus memorable moments. I can’t believe we’re already halfway through the year; where has the time gone? Summer weddings are always stunning and allow couples to get creative to bring the outdoor areas to life with beautiful ceremony and reception spaces, snug areas, garden games and al fresco dining options.
Living in the UK, we all know how unpredictable the weather can be. So if you’re opting for an outdoor event, make sure you have a wet-weather backup option such as a tipi, marquee or indoor space - you can never be too prepared!
We’re expecting to see many Bridgerton-inspired weddings this summer after the popular show released season two and the nation fell in love with Kate and Anthony. Expect to see plenty of lace, ruffles, gloves, capes and delicate blues - it’s going to be oh-so glamours. Neutrals and earthy tones are also trending at the moment, with the main focus on nature with foliage, driftwood and different textures being used.
This year, couples are focusing on sustainable weddings and are thinking outside of the box to reduce their impact on the environment, which can be done in multiple ways. Why not opt for repurposed jewellery or conflict-free pieces with sustainable diamonds, use seed paper or recycled paper for stationery, reuse floral arrangements from the ceremony throughout the day and pick seasonal blooms if possible?
That’s all from me; now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding.
Happy planning!

The Gardens at Polehanger
At the end of the beautiful tree-lined driveway, The Gardens at Polehanger is the perfect spot to hold weddings between April and October.
The manicured gardens have heaps of space and offers a stunning setting with flower beds full of colour and uninterrupted countryside views. The blank canvas spaces allow couples to bring in their own structure and all other suppliers so lovebirds can create exactly what they want for their special day – the bigger the imagination, the better!
Couples hiring the venue will have exclusive use of the site for the wedding day, which includes the six-bedroom farmhouse. There’s also parking, power and water provided.
The team works with wedding planner and event manager, Chloe from White Button Weddings to liaise with couples and suppliers while overseeing the day – so wedding parties can enjoying the special day.
The 18th-century farmhouse has been newly refurbished, with new bathrooms and furniture throughout. Each room is spacious, with comfy king size beds and stunning décor – a fantastic place to prepare for the day and to rest weary heads after celebrating.
Couples can have celebrant-led blessings and receptions with 120 people in the beautiful gardens in the open air, or they can choose to hire a structure such as a yurt, pole marquee, stretch tent or tipi.
The Meadows at Polehanger has extra accommodation with four luxury cabins just a short walk away from the Gardens at Polehanger – it’s the perfect place for guest to stay. Each one sleep up to four adults or two adults and up to four children. The cabins are well equipped with a king size bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed, as well as a small kitchen and bathroom.
