March/April 2019

 
There’s no doubt that winter’s a magical time to tie the knot, but I can’t help but feel excited that a new season’s just around the corner. There’s something to be said for the many merits of spring, from picking your bouquet blooms to match what’s newly available to styling your venue with fresh and vibrant colours that complement the changing weather. That’s why this issue features an exclusive guide to the very best ways to dress your chosen venue, be it a castle, city centre hotel, barn or even by the beach. Turn to page 55 to read our expert advice on what works well and why.

Elsewhere this issue, we’re jam-packed with everything a North East bride and groom need to know when it comes to saying “I do.” We’ve news on the latest wedding packages, venues and suppliers in our Nearlywed News spread on page 9, including an exclusive discount with a Durham pianist who’s performed for the Royal Family! There’s a feature dedicated to the best wedding transport in the region, from horse and carriage to Campervan or supercar (p49), and we showcase 12 pages dedicated to stunning reader weddings, starting on page 29. And don’t forget to enter in our amazing competitions – you could win a bed and breakfast stay at Jurys Inn Middlesbrough, complete with dinner (p13), and a honeymoon in Malaysia, worth nearly £4,000 (p103)!

Enjoy planning the best day of your lives…

"I do" in Durham
 
Durham Castle

Durham Castle is part of a World Heritage Site. The historic atmosphere is ideally suited to weddings, ensuring that your special day is a truly memorable occasion. The grandeur of the Great Hall, one of the largest and most impressive of its kind in the country, is perfect for your wedding breakfast. Photo opportunities are also vast, with the Castle Courtyard, against the backdrop of the Castle and Cathedral, featuring the many coats of arms of successive Bishops.

Become husband and wife in a variety of spaces, such as Fellows Garden (100 guests), the Norman Gallery (120 guests) or the Senate Room (50 guests). Your wedding reception is then held in either the Great Hall (up to 200 guests) or the Senate Suite (up to 50 guests), perfect for more intimate celebrations. And don’t forget to take advantage of the complimentary bed and breakfast stay for the bride and groom in the Bishop Suite on the wedding night, and a complimentary bed and breakfast stay for other members of your party in the Chaplain Suite.
