September/October 2022

 
What’s the most important thing to think about when it comes to researching your wedding? Of course, the dress or suit you choose to walk down the aisle in is key – and we’ve plenty of inspiring fashion choices for you to pore over, starting on page 77. However, for most couples it’s all about ensuring their guests are properly cared for from start to finish – because, let’s face it, you want your wedding to be the one that gets all those #weddingoftheyear Insta hashtags, don’t you…?

Never fear – we’re here to help, with a ton of regional suppliers ready to make your big day dreams come true! Want to wow your crowd with a feast like no other, from mouth-watering canapés and hog roasts, to chocolate fountains and even your very own inflatable pub? Turn to our A-Z guide to Essex wedding catering, over on page 57. Looking for transport to turn up to your big day in style? You can hire a helicopter, camper van and so much more on page 65! And that’s before you’ve even looked at five incredible Southend wedding venues (p19) – or been inspired by our exclusive shoot, starting on page 51.

Also this issue – and on the very day I’m writing this! – our lovely Senior Editor of County Wedding Magazines, Melissa, is saying ‘I do’ to the man of her dreams, David, at Coggeshall venue, Houchins. If you’ve been following Melissa’s journey in previous issues then I’m sure you’ll want to see her incredible day in all its glory, so turn to page 38 to see the bride and groom enjoying the best day of their lives.

See you in November,

The Canary Shed

The Canary Shed is a restored traditional Essex black barn with a rustic but modern interior so that couples can add their own personal touches, making the venue unique to them. Located on a farm with views of the River Crouch, it boasts easy access to the nearby town of Burnham on Crouch and the Saltmarsh Coast Trail. You don’t even have to worry about somewhere to stay, as The Canary Shed has six self-catering converted barns and two hotel-style rooms with en-suite facilities for you and your guests to enjoy, sleeping up to 30 in total.

While The Canary Shed can hold up to 120 guests, you can be legally married in front of up to 80 of your friends and family for legal ceremonies and sit-down meals. Taking place outside under a gazebo in the venue’s courtyard area, you can also choose an indoor ceremony in The Granary Barn, which can accommodate up to 30. All receptions are then held in The Canary Shed which can be set up by couples the day before, be it for a formal sit-down feast or a more relaxed buffet or festival-style reception. Opening out on to the courtyard area, it’s the perfect space for photos and reception drinks

There are also former Gucci designer Gergei Erdei's cushions, inspired by neoclassical shapes with a sculptural appearance; rugs, placemats, table runners and ottomans from quirky brand Podevache; unique ceiling lights, wall lamps and floor lamps from DelightFULL; and some seriously glam barware and kitchen musts from Nick Munro.

Get your feet wedding ready with the Exclusive Medical Pedicure by Margaret Dabbs
 
Get your feet wedding ready with the Exclusive Medical Pedicure by Margaret Dabbs
 
CWM editor Rachel Westall went along to Margaret Dabbs London to discover the benefits of The Exclusive Medical Pedicure... What a treat for the feet! As a working mum my feet work hard. Often wearing heels or sandals, exposing my feet to the elements I suffer with dry heels and skin build up on the balls of my feet. So, when the opportunity came to try out a medical pedicure at Margaret Dabbs, I jumped at the chance. It's a giant leap further than your standard pedi. To explain a bit further, think hygienist for the feet and foot facialist all in one. The famous medical pedicure or medi-pedi, as I like to call it, is a thorough overhaul performed on the feet, by a qualified HCPC registered Podiatrist.
