May/June 2024

 
As someone who has only worn make-up once for my own wedding a few years ago, my knowledge is definitely lacking, and, much to my friends amusement, I can’t tell you the difference between highlighter, foundation and concealer! Luckily, South Wales is full of some wonderful beauty experts who know all the tips and tricks to ensure you look your best on your big day.

If you’re a bit clueless, like me, don’t panic. When looking for a make-up artist, make sure you read their reviews and that you like the look of their work. Most importantly, be honest with them. Whether you wear full glam on a regular basis, only add a touch of foundation, or, like myself, have no clue where to start, they are there to help you. A good supplier will reassure you and give suggestions to help you look like the best version of yourself.

I highly recommend having a trial with your make-up artist before the wedding. Your trial will give you time to talk to your supplier, test out looks and ensure you’re happy with how you look before the wedding day.

To help give you some ideas, we’ve rounded up fashion and beauty experts in the area and asked for their tips and trend predictions to ensure you look amazing.

Happy planning!

The Orangery

The Orangery, a grand 18th-century Grade I listed building, creates a jaw-dropping setting to say, ‘I do.’ Nestled within the grounds of Margam Country Park, The Orangery offers a wealth of locations for memorable photographs, including remnants of the monastic ruins and the iconic Margam Castle.

Tie the knot in The Grove, a gorgeous room lined with ornamental arched windows and fine architectural details. Flooded with natural light and offering serene views over the terrace and gardens, The Grove is a stunning location for a memorable wedding ceremony. The venue also offers outdoor ceremonies that take place surrounded by the rustic monastic ruins.

The main function suite, meanwhile, can accommodate up to 150 of your loved ones for the wedding breakfast and 250 for the evening celebration.

Once you’ve booked your special day at The Orangery, you can explore the grounds of Margam Country Park and plan your dream photo backdrops. Discover the monastic ruins, a pergola walkway in bloom, manicured gardens, tranquil lakes, and the rolling lawns of the deer park; you may even spot the deer in the distance. The venue also offers an ‘Alpaca Wedding Experience’, new for 2024.
