EDITOR LOVES Charlotte Cornelius Jewellery is located in the heart of Southsea and offers handmade jewellery using the ancient skill of goldsmithing. The company has been nominated as one of five finalists for Best Jewellery Store as a result of the team’s talent, hard work and fantastic customer service.

The staff specialises in engagement and wedding rings and works with clients to bring their dream designs to life, which is exactly what happened when groom-to-be Robert had a special request. When I first saw this video of him proposing to Sofia, I knew I had to share it with our readers as I’ve never seen anything like it. Owner Charlotte Cornelius says, “The brief was to create a classic engagement ring designed to reflect the colours and movement of the sea. Robert chose the gemstones himself from a selection that we sourced. We then created a bespoke sapphire and diamond platinum wave setting ring, ready for their long-awaited holiday to the Red Sea, where Sofia was going to gain her diving qualifications in Dahab, Egypt. On the last day of Sofia’s course and with the diving instructor’s help, Robert made an astonishing and daring surprise proposal with the engagement ring attached to a piece of string underwater!”

THE WHOLE PACKAGE

With the increased pace of life, couples are limited to the time spent on necessary wedmin to plan their day. That’s why Balmer Lawn Hotel is now offering the Everything but the Dress Package, which starts from £11,500 for 60 loved ones. The team aims to take the stress away by giving couples a head start in the planning process by booking their core suppliers at the same time as their venue. The team has hand-picked companies based on the quality provided and how their services complement the beautiful spaces at Balmer Lawn Hotel.

The package is perfect for pairs with a budget in mind, and it allows them to relax knowing that these services are included in one cost. The inclusive package consists of a drinks reception with canapés circulated while guests mingle and sip on champagne. Then it’s time for that signature pavilion confetti shot by one of the photographers included in the package before the three-course wedding breakfast is served in the Beaulieu Room.

The tables are designed and dressed by the high-end stylist who collaborates with the florist to incorporate flowers on the tables and create bridal bouquets and buttonholes. Brides will be primped and preened by the hair and makeup artist, ready to take to the dancefloor for their first dance with music played by the DJ after cutting their bespoke wedding cake. Couples are welcomed back a year after their special day to celebrate their first anniversary.

After recently receiving a Best Large Wedding Venue award, couples can relax knowing everyone will be well looked after!
