Spring, my favourite time of the year. The days are getting warmer, the trees are blossoming and the
evenings are getting lighter - no more dark nights by 4pm! The only thing is the weather can be so changeable
at this time of year, one minute it can be freezing outside and the next day is bright and sunny. The month of
March is said to come in like a lion and out like a lamb and that certainly seems true this year with the strong,
cold winds and sleet/snow showers we’ve been having the last week.
My husband and I got married in late Spring, in May 2008 and we had showers on our wedding day and
ended up having our after ceremony photographs taken indoors (even against my new Mother-In-Law’s
wishes, but I didn’t want to get wet through!). Still we have some great photographs to look back on and it’s
the one thing you can’t plan for - the weather.
I would love to hear your ideas and plans for coping with the weather. Here’s hoping you all get some
sunshine on your big day.

Email: localwedding@btinternet.com

Are you a Bridezilla or are you more relaxed in planning your wedding? When I got married, I was
not obsessed by every tiny detail, but I did do all the organising myself. However I did start to find that a lot of
family members, in particular my future Mother-in-Law, had very strong opinions on what they thought we
should have and who we should invite. The trouble is you don’t want to upset anyone, especially your new
side of the family, but then again, it’s your big day so why should you do something for someone else’s sake if
it’s not really something you like?
Maybe if a relative is paying for something, like the cake for example, then they should have a bit of
a say on who makes it or how it looks? That was one of my biggest problems! My future husband wanted his
Mum to make the wedding cake. She was very good and I had seen a few she had made before for birthdays
and christenings, but when she told me she could only do roses and lilies for the decoration, I was just a little
bit disappointed. I had already decided on a colour scheme of golds and yellows and I had set my heart on
having a bouquet of sunflowers, but she insisted that she couldn’t make these, and then decided to tell me
that the colours looked awful for cake displays! In the end we had to compromise and I settled for ivory roses
and yellow gerberas both on my cake and in my bouquet. Would you have insisted on what you wanted or
backed down just to keep the peace?
On the wedding day itself, my husband and his family had some photographs taken outside the
venue, while I had some taken of me and my bridesmaids in the room we were getting ready in. During the
ceremony the weather turned and it started to rain quite heavily. My new Mother-in-Law still wanted me to
have a photograph taken outside! At this point I did refuse!! No way was I standing outside, in the pouring
rain, just to get a photograph of me in my dress. She even told the photographer to make me have one, but
thankfully he had the sense to say it was the Bride & Groom’s decision.
Hopefully your day goes the way that you want it to. I know nothing
is perfect, but things do usually go according to plan and if there are any
hiccups, try to just take it in your stride. The one piece of advice I could give is
make sure to take five minutes to yourselves after the ceremony and just take
it all in - the day goes by so fast, you won’t believe it, so take time to make that
memory.

Barn
The Garden Barn
Haverhill, Suffolk
The Garden Barn venue is situated in the scenic hamlet of Little
Bradley in the Stour Valley on the Cambridgeshire/Suffolk border and is
easily within reach of Cambridge (nearly 19 miles away) and Bury St.
Edmunds (16 miles).
This 18th century building has been beautifully restored with all the
original timber beams giving a truly unique feel to this venue. If you are
looking for a traditional venue that is steeped in history, then this is the
perfect choice.

Crockwell Farm
Nr Daventry, Northamptonshire
Crockwell Farm is set in the glorious countryside of south
Northamptonshire and weddings are their speciality. The venue is
licensed for civil ceremonies and they also have a marquee that
can seat up to 200 guests.
The venue is located close to the M1 and M40, so is easily
accessible and also had award winning B&B accommodation.

a more relaxed time to set-up the day before and carry on the
celebrations at breakfast the next day.

Rothwell, Northamptonshire
I thought I would start a article to my magazine and take a look at various places and what they have to
offer for people that are planning their wedding, so what better place to start with than where I live now -
Rothwell, near Kettering, in Northamptonshire.
Rothwell is a historic market town and although there are no large stores here, the town certainly has a
lot to offer. Easily accessible via the A14 and is within convenient reach of Kettering (5 miles), Corby (10
miles) and Market Harborough (9 miles). So what does the town offer for any Brides and Grooms to be?
Firstly there is Holy Trinity Church which has to be the most prominent building
in the town. Dating from the 13th Century, the church is 173 feet long, making it the
longest church in Northamptonshire. Other churches in the town
include the Rothwell Methodist Church and St. Bernadette’s
RC Church. Although there are no actual Approved Venues in
Rothwell, there are still places where you could hold your
wedding party or reception. The Rothwell House Hotel has
over 20 en-suite bedrooms, which include some with four-poster
beds and a Bridal Suite, then there is also the Tresham Hall (at
the Rothwell Conservative Club) which can cater for up to 120
guests and has a sprung floor for you to dance the night away.
If you were looking for somewhere for your Hen Party or Stag Night then The
Old Bakehouse regularly holds special evenings such as ’Rat Pack’ nights and also
Mediterranean Nights with Greek Dancing - and they are quite memorable! There is
also Toro Steakhouse and they have a private dining room available for large parties
too. There are a number of Public Houses in the town as well, including The Red Lion
which has recently been refurbished and now
includes ‘The Old Barns In Bridge Street’ that can
also be hired out for private functions.
You may prefer Indian cuisine, so why not visit
the Taste of India restaurant with their wide range of
speciality dishes, or maybe you might prefer the
Turkish menu provided at The Old Bank restaurant instead or even more
exotic food at the Thai Garden restaurant.
With all of these facilities situated close together in the small town
centre, what more could you ask for than a large, central car park that is also
free to park in - perfect!

Rothwell also has a Bridal shop, where you can find a range of Bridal and bridesmaids dresses.
Something Special are stockists for Ronald Joyce, Sincerity Bridal and Alexia Designs plus many more. They
also stock a wide range of accessories, such as veils and headdresses so you are bound to find something to
suit your taste. As for the Mother of the Bride/Groom outfits, then look no further than Trudie Claire - and it is
only next door to the bridal shop!
Something Special Trudi Claire
The one thing Rothwell is not short of is Hairdressers - here you are spoilt for choice. Starting with John
Newman Hairdressing & Beauty that has 3 floors, with 2 floors dedicated to hairdressing and another floor
for their beauty treatments. John Newman is the third generation of the Newman family to be working in the
hairdressing business and they have built up a fine reputation and been part of the Rothwell community for
over 90 years.
Further down the road, in the Bakehouse Mews courtyard, you will find
Queens Hairdressing. There is a more
vintage meets modern style to this quaint
salon and they are also the recommended
salon of Rushton Hall, which is just 2.5 miles
down the road from here.
Other salons in Rothwell include Stylers and
R & R Hairdressing, both on Bridge Street
which is the main road through the town
centre, then a bit further down the road you
will find the On The Fringe salon too. Not forgetting the men in the town as well, you can find The Barbers
Shop and Cuts ‘N’ More too.
For your beauty requirements, as well as those services offered at the above hairdressers, there is also
The Parlour, where beauty therapist Laura will make you look and feel fantastic and the Pretty Woman nail &
beauty salon.
Looking for wedding stationary, then contact Wedding Paraphernalia for everything from elegant guest
books to bespoke invitations.
Finally if you are looking for a wedding gift then Black and Whites have a wide range of gifts and home
accessories or Newmans of Rothwell sell everything from greeting cards to balloons, children’s toys to silver
plated gifts.
So Rothwell may be a small town, but it has a big heart and a lot to offer - pay us a visit sometime!

MOOD
BOARD
Spring is
in the Air
Are you getting married in the Spring? Are you prepared for those April showers?
Here’s just a few ideas that I found on Pinterest. Check out more pictures on my “Spring Theme” board.
https://www.pinterest.com/localwedconnect/spring-theme/
Unique idea for table centrepieces
but place don’t pinch a real bird’s nest!
Getting married near Easter?
Why not use it as a theme?
Give guests seeds to plant as your favours.
The weather can still turn chilly, especially
in the evenings.
Bird seed favours
(make sure the children don’t eat them!)
Daffodils are everywhere at this time of
year and can make simple but very
effective bouquets.
Another Easter theme idea - napkins
shaped like a bunny!
