We can’t quite believe the year’s nearly over – where did 2018 go?! Before we launch headlong into the new year, we think it’s a good idea to take a step back and have a look at all we’ve been up to this year. So here’s a little review of 5 Star Wedding Directory’s 2018.
Our 5 Star 2018 Favourite PostsWhere we’ve been
We’ve had the absolute privilege of being invited to some of the most beautiful and luxurious hotels and venues in the country.
Chic and unique, South Place Hotel stole our hearts with its quirky art and beautiful secret indoor garden.
Plush and luxurious, the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane welcomed us with its heavenly beds, perfect for hibernation.
Beautifully secluded, we loved our escape to St Ermin’s Hotel in the heart of London with its rooftop beehives and exquisite honey.
And the rest… we’ve enjoyed many a gorgeous weekend at country hotels and city skyscrapers.
What we’ve seen
What a year! We’ve witnessed gorgeous weddings, blossoming trends and the best of what the bridal world has to offer.
We were spoiled with two royal weddings this year – Meghan and Harry’s in May and then Princess Eugenie’s wedding in October. Each was so different to the other. We loved the personal touches of each wedding dress and the way they were so beautifully unique.
Pantone colour of the year was ultra violet. We had fun spotting it crop up in colour palettes throughout the year. It worked beautifully alongside nature’s hues. We loved this styled shoot by stylist Hannah Taylor.
We fell in love with desserts all over again, with dessert tables climbing higher on our list of wedding priorities! The bigger, the better, culminating in the glorious Indulgence Bar we witnessed at the Bulgari Hotel London by GC Couture.
What we’ve loved
It’s no surprise that we love weddings, and every thing that goes with them, from the hen days to the tablescapes.
We’ve loved sampling afternoon teas! From the Bingham’s fancy and fashionable tea to K West’s Glam Rock affair, we’ve been spoiled with cocktails, cake and some of the best service around – perfect for hen dos and treats!
Seeing so many gorgeous new wedding dress collections at the shows we’ve visited has been a real highlight of the year. There’s always something special and sparkling that catches our eye. This year we fell for Hayley Paige’s 80s inspired collection as well as Galia Lahav’s Florence by Night.
Hearing about the wonderful things our suppliers have been getting up to is one of our favourite things. From proposal planning with La Fete to seeing the best Ibizan venues with Ma Cherie, we love seeing how much they love what they do!
We hope you’ve had as much fun as we’ve had during 2018. Here’s to a 2019 full of wonderful weddings!
