E DITOR’S NOTE Welcome to Issue five of Heavenly Events Uk Wedding Guide and what an issue it is... Before you read the variety of informative editorials, browse through our special advertiser’s work and gaze into the beautiful imagery, take a minute and think about this. With social media influencing every aspect of our lives and putting more pressure on you to design an ‘instagram-able’ day - just remember why you’re planning the day and whom it’s really about. Avoid putting too much pressure on yourself that can result in burning out or over-stretching finances. Share the planning and tasks with your nearest and dearest and don’t be afraid to delegate jobs to friends and family. This is going to be the best day of your life and you are blessed to have found that person you want to share the rest of your life with, with this in mind - stay calm, organised and most importantly, enjoy every moment of the whole adventure. On behalf of myself and Deborah Marks, we hope you find this guide helpful and inspiring.

CATCH IT ON VIDEO Hello there! I’m Amy and I plant a tree for every newly wed I film in a bid to do my bit for the environment as well as providing all couples with a truly unique and quirky gift. Posing for photos, greeting guests and making sure Uncle Bob avoids the dance floor can certainly make the day fly by but don’t worry, I make it my mission to float around in the background and capture the real moments often missed. So grab a drink, catch up with friends and family and I’ll make sure you can relive it all again and again and again…

THE OLD VICARAGE HOTEL & RESTAURANT The Old Vicarage Hotel & Restaurant is located in a quiet and peaceful area of Shropshire, yet close to the towns of Bridgnorth, Much Wenlock & Telford. Good Hotel Guide – “This gabled, red brick Edwardian ex-parsonage, now a hotel/restaurant (Pride of Britain), was liked by a regular Guide correspondent in 2003 for ‘its food and friendliness’. The owners, since 2001, David and Sarah Blakstad, are continuing their renovations. The bedrooms (some have views of Shropshire countryside) are named after local hamlets: Claverley, Shipton, Chesterton, etc. The best rooms, in the coach house, are ‘really something: spacious, comfortable, and containing everything you could possibly need’.”
The Guardian Weekend – “Not only has the wine list been chosen with unusual discrimination but it has also been priced with rare consideration. The raw materials for the food are sourced with the same diligence as the wine”. Which Hotel Guide – “cosseting Country House hotel in a thoroughly rural spot – a classic of its kind”. Decanter – “The wine list is splendid and annotated well”. Egon Ronay – “Regional wine cellar of the year and best cheese board”. Paddy Burt, Daily Telegraph – “This critic can only report that her experience was very pleasant indeed”. Shirley Tart, The Shropshire Magazine, July 2004 – “As fine a dining experience as you’ll get.”

“If you are having a DIY Wedding, I cannot stress enough, how important is it to have an impartial person (i.e. not a Guest or Family Member) to Manage your day so that you can enjoy every precious moment of your Special day� advises Proprietor of LMS Weddings, Lynda Smallman.
LMS Weddings are accredited by
the UK Academy of Wedding and Event Planning. We serve Shropshire, Herefordshire, Worcestershire, Staffordshire and the West Midlands. On the Day Co-Ordination, is a way for the stress to be taken out of what should be a purely enjoyable day for the whole wedding party, by enabling them to have their own Wedding Day p.a. By offering this type of service independently, we are able to get to know you, and make sure the day fits in with your style and needs, rather than a generic onesize fits all approach. Whilst most couples find planning their wedding a highly enjoyable time, many of the practicalities can be over-looked such as; Who is going to ensure that your guests are at the right place at the right time? Who will liaise with the caterers to ensure that the food is out at the correct time? and Who will watch the clock to ensure the day runs smoothly and to plan. As part of our On The Day Coordination Service, we contact your Suppliers before your Wedding Day and confirm all of the finer details so everyone knows exactly how the day will flow.
The Service is not as expensive as you may think and is certainly worth it for peace of mind.

KEEP THE COLOUR FLOWING...
A wedding will always centre around a colour scheme, so the perfect way to keep the theme running throughout the wedding is matching the men’s tie to your bridesmaids dresses.
IT’S ALL IN THE THEME! What’s your wedding theme? With so many different ideas out there, the ‘romantic wedding’ theme seems to most appropriate for a day filled with so much love and affection. So how do you incorporate this element throughout your day? Well it starts with… Your venue. Look for a locations that boast ethereal, fairytale vibes. An outdoor ceremony in a gorgeous garden or receptions in airy french style chateau undoubtedly portrait a romantic wedding theme, however, you can really inject the romance into any venue by using delicate details. Go heavy on the florals with beautiful hanging installations and romantic wedding centerpieces. Usage of flickering candles and rose petals are also brilliant props. You should also consider running your theme throughout your day, think about your invites, cake, table dressings, flowers, the dress, bridesmaids, hair, makeup and the suits. Many modern brides & grooms are personalising their theme to represent their love, there’s been an increase in woodland, travel and festival themed weddings and with so many of these weddings documented on Instagram, there are endless ideas for you to get inspired from.
