Weddings
& special occasions
Micro weddings may have been in vogue during lockdown, celebrated with just a handful of a couple’s most treasured circle, but many couples postponed their big day multiple times so they could have the big bash of their dreams.

With COVID restrictions lifted, business looks likely to boom as the romantically inclined put their hearts into creating the wedding day of their dreams. Many who went ahead and married with a limited guest list and a modest celebration, now intend to dust off the plans for a full-scale celebration complete with a ginormous reception and exotic honeymoon abroad.
Never has there been so much scope for a bespoke wedding crafted entirely to the couple’s own preferences and, of course, budget. The average pre-COVID wedding in the UK was reported to cost around £32,000 with all the travel and trimmings, although it’s fair to say that many managed admirably with a significantly lower tally.
Luxurious Mallory Court Hotel and Spa offers a stunning setting for a romantic wedding in Leamington Spa, whether for just small numbers or up to 150 guests. With four Red Stars from the AA, Mallory Court has superb accommodation, a restaurant with three AA Rosettes and a beautiful brasserie, along with amazing spa facilities, 10 acres of beautiful grounds and expert staff to help arrange ‘your day, your way.’ Go online to www.mallory.co.uk to check out this magnificent venue.

Everything you need for the perfect day, all in one place
When it comes to planning your wedding there is so much to consider, not least the suppliers you choose to provide the services that turn your day from good to ‘WOW’ yet it is so difficult to know who you can trust and to know you are getting good value for money. The wedding market is like no other with so many ‘businesses’ running without premises and in many instances without following appropriate legislation. We started Frily’s Boutique with one goal in mind – to be a trusted, nationwide one stop wedding shop providing exceptional quality with fantastic value for money, but most importantly providing confidence to brides to know that they truly have a wedding specialist supplying all aspects of their day so they can rest easy and focus on enjoying their day.

Beau Boo Beauty moves to Broadway
Award winning Beau Boo Beauty has relocated from Evesham to smart new premises in Broadway, hoping to attract tourists as well as expanding its regular customer base with a growing range of treatments.
The friendly salon currently offers eyelash extensions, lash lifts and tints, waxing and tinting, luxury manicures and pedicures, henna designs, brow shaping, brow tints and callus peels. It also offers gel nail treatments in a fabulous array of colours and designs.
The salon was founded by Elise Sullivan, who carries out the beauty treatments herself while her colleague, Dorota, specialises in nails.
Mum of four Elise left school without qualifications to raise her family and support her late mother through illness. She has since trained with The Secret Retreat Beauty School, recently qualifying to teach certain skills, won a national start-up business award and become a Young Ambassador with the Prince’s Trust. “One of the last things Mum said to me was to follow my dreams,” she says. “I always had passionate interest in beauty, so I followed my dream and started working from a tiny room in my house. I only had about 10 clients but I decided to go for it and open the salon in Evesham in December 2017.
“We now have 1,030 clients registered with us. I hope most of those will stay with us in Broadway.”
