If you're newlyweds-to-be embarking on your wedding planning journey, pop along to the County Wedding Events fair at Markshall Estate, Coggeshall, Essex, for inspiration on 10th April 2022!

It's one of our first wedding shows of 2022 and a must-visit for all those that got engaged over the festive season. The event brings couples that are desperate for face-to-face wedding planning in touch with local professionals who are on hand to help plan the wedding day. 

From photographers to cake makers, musicians to florists, you're sure to tick a lot off of your to-do list by attending one of our County Wedding Events.

Located between the towns of Braintree and Colchester, just off the A120, Markshall Estate is a historic 2,350-acre country estate in north Essex. Marry in an 18th-century coach house, pretty parterre garden, tipi or woodland – the decision is yours. The Estate includes broadleaved woodlands, a stunning arboretum showcasing a collection of rare trees from across the globe, relaxing lakes, a Walled Garden and much more.

The 18th-century coach house is full of character, overlooking the parterre garden where couples can marry in a romantic gazebo surrounded by flowers cultivated by our expert horticulture team - it sits within 200-acres of arboretum, all available as a backdrop for your wedding photography. 

Looking for something more informal? Marry under the canopy of our ancient trees with a Woodland Wedding, and celebrate in a tipi situated in our stunning secluded meadow.

Come along to view the venue and discuss your plans with wedding suppliers exhibiting on the day.

The fair will be open from 11am to 3pm. Entry is free. Couples will receive a goodie bag and have the opportunity to win their dream honeymoon.

Women want a personal engagement ring not an expensive one

New research suggests a shift in how women approach one of the most traditional luxury jewellery purchases, with 75% saying they want an engagement ring to prioritise personal meaning over size or value. A study of 1,353 UK women carried out by 77 Diamonds* found that 75% say they would prioritise a personalised engagement ring over a larger or more expensive diamond. What seems to stand out is not a complete rejection of convention, but rather a rebalancing and reassessment of value. 59% of women say their preference still leans towards traditional ready-made ring designs, and only 11% want an entirely custom-made piece But the emotional drive behind preferences and purchasing decisions does appear to be changing with 30% expressing a desire for rings that carry additional meaning through small modifications, engravings or design adjustments.

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

One in seven couples choose sleep over sex on their wedding night

As the UK's spring and summer wedding season begins, new research by Mattress Online suggests the traditional idea of a passion-filled wedding night doesn't always match reality, with one in six couples (15%) saying they did not have sex after their big day. To understand why, the bed experts also asked survey respondents what their reasoning was behind this. They also provided additional insight on the idea of the "wedding night" from Relationship Expert, Jenni Trent Hughes. The findings show that exhaustion was by far the most common factor, with more than two in five (44%) of couples saying they were simply too tired after the celebrations. As weddings often involve early starts, long days, emotional highs, and late nights, rest is a more realistic priority than romance once newlyweds are in bed.
