GIFTS Window Shopping

Setting up your gift list is one of the most fun parts of wedding planning, but it’s not always easy to find everything you want under one roof. Now there’s a new way to make sure you get exactly what you want.

What I’d Love offers a free, secure, online facility that lets you compile your gift list from a wide range of independent businesses, boutiques, department stores and even food retailers, offering quirky and original gifts from all over the UK.

Unlike a wedding list held at a single store, yoy can add products from any retailer on the internet, compiling one definitive list for your guests to browse through. Just with any wedding list, you’ll get your own list number and, as products are bought, the list is automatically updated.

You can shop around everywhere from Amazon to Debenhams and John Lewis to the White Company. You'll also find a fabulous range of more original products, from gorgeous antique-style furniture at Sprout to organic cotton aprons and tea towels at Ochre and Ocre. For traditional linen, we love the range of classic, organic sheets, pillow cases and duvet covers from Luma.

And if it’s eco products you’re after, check out the accessories and homeware at Biome. Priced at just £13, the unusual bamboo bath tray was made in Bhopal, India by survivors of the disastrous gas leak. Or your guests can club together to buy larger items, such as a state-of-the-art, luxe garden barbecue.

With its handsome Regency architecture and stunning views, Fishmore Hall makes a perfect wedding location all year round. This boutique country house hotel overlooking the charming town of Ludlow offers unrivalled views over the pretty Shropshire countryside.

Inside the beautifully restored Regency house, there are 15 luxurious contemporary bedrooms that can sleep up to 30 guests, giving you exclusive use of the hotel for your wedding weekend. And if you hire the Restaurant on an exclusive basis, the hotel will offer a complimentary bridal suite for you both.

There are two rooms which are licensed for civil ceremonies. The Lounge is ideally suited for smaller intimate ceremonies, while the Restaurant with its views overlooking Clee Hill can seat up to 60 guests. And if you’re planning a larger reception, a marquee can be erected on the lawn.

The hotel’s dedicated wedding coordinator will help you with all your plans, from the menus to the flowers, and decorations to the photographer. The hotel also offers a selection of wedding packages to suit all budgets, which include a glass of prosecco or champagne on arrival; canapés including caramelised anchovy and onion pastry, chicken satay and dim sum; a choice of menus of dishes such as Cornish mackerel, pan fried salmon, and white chocolate crème brulee; coffee and petit fours; half a bottle of wine per person and a glass of fizz for the toasts.

To make a booking or for more information, call 01584 875148 or visit the website.
