ISSN 2046-8474 lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding! Summer has entered the chat, and I couldn’t be more excited! The time of year is so popular for weddings with more consistent weather, summer nights, various blooms in season and extra daylight for celebrations – plus, you can utilise any outdoor areas.

Hello

If you’re embracing the outdoors, remember to provide loved ones with some shaded areas so they can take breaks from the sun. Why not supply guests with sun cream for favours and opt for an ice cream truck for some real summer vibes? Avoid direct sunlight at the hottest points of the day if possible and look for breathable attire. If you’re concerned about the heat, talk to your suppliers who can advise accordingly.

As the time of year is so popular for weddings, ensure you book companies as soon as possible as they get booked up quickly. Start the planning process with an open mind and ensure you ultimately plan a wedding that symbolises you both. Remember that teamwork makes the dream work! Once you have set a budget, decided on a theme and booked a venue, everything else will fall into place.

To help with the process, we’re hand-selected suppliers all around the counties to help bring your vision to life. We’ve got you covered from showstopping venues, styling inspirations, expert advice, the latest wedding news and stunning local weddings. We even have stunning-styled shoot full of local suppliers – the dream team could be a few pages away!.

That’s all from me; happy planning! Olivia
