January/February 2022

 
I don’t think there’s a new year that I’ve wanted to come around more! Just as we were glad to see the back of 2020, the same goes for 2021 - see ya!

The hope of what 2022 will bring is substantial; weddings have been unaffected since July 19th (hallelujah!), and here at An Essex Wedding HQ we’re certainly excited to see the wedding boom continue. Did you know that there’s, on average, 85,000 festive proposals each year? If you was one of the lucky ones that found a ring under the tree, in a Christmas pudding or at the bottom of a glass of mulled wine, then welcome to the wonderful world of weddings and your first wedding magazine - you’re going to love it!

Choosing your big-day venue is first and foremost the biggest decision to make, as it sets the tone for the rest of the day and gives the wedding planning that much-needed direction. This issue, we've got a Beautiful Barns feature; there's a whopping 20 barn wedding venues in our beloved county, but here’s a special selection to be inspired by. We also shine the spotlight on top venues in the Braintree and Uttlesford districts for those looking to tie the knot here.

What’s more, local photographers share their favourite images since the return of weddings, and local venue styling experts share their advice on what’s hot for 2022. And if that’s not enough to get you super-excited about your nuptials, then there are also two styled shoots showcasing the beauty of winter ‘I dos’ and summer soirees.

Pull up a chair, make a brew and enjoy reading...

Crondon Park Wedding Venue

Located in the picturesque village of Stock, Crondon Park is an established premier wedding venue set in the beautiful valley of Crondon - with stunning countryside views! Its recently refurbished Baronial Gardens comprise a patio, secluded garden and outdoor ceremony area, with a standout water feature providing a beautiful backdrop for photos. The nuptials take place in Crondon Park’s Ryder Room, it’s decorated with fairylights and has a seated capacity of up to 100 loved ones. For al fresco vows, the outdoor ceremony area has benefitted from the recent addition of tiered seating.

After the ‘I dos’, the wedding breakfast takes place in the Baronial Hall with a maximum seated capacity of 148 for dining and 220 for the evening reception. The Baronial Hall is one of the finest examples of a Tudor/Jacobean light oak-beamed barn with an incredibly unique charm. It’s fully air-conditioned, has fairylights, bay trees and bespoke coloured uplighting to suit colour schemes.

When tying the knot here the venue host the very popular Pre-Wedding Dinner Party for couples, offering them the chance to have a date night at the venue with live entertainment. What’s more, there’s a luxurious Bridal Suite with private parking and five additional en suite guest bedrooms, all fully air-conditioned with a rear terrace.

The flower language of roses: the hidden meaning behind each shade
 
The flower language of roses: the hidden meaning behind each shade
 
Roses are still one of the most prominent wedding flowers chosen couples to feature in their big-day styling. But how do you know which colour rose to get? Luckily for you, each colour has a specific meaning, and depending on the occasion, one will be better suited than the other.

During the Victorian era, flower language, also known as floriography, gained prominence. Flowers, especially roses, were used to convey a secret message without having to speak. This tradition has carried through today, and roses are much appreciated as a stand-alone gift, as well as a sentimental complement to a main present.

The gemstone jeweller Angelic Diamonds has ranked the most popular colour roses in the UK based on Google search volumes and reveals the hidden messages behind each to help you find the perfect one.
