There’s a growing trend amongst couples to opt for a truly romantic twilight wedding. The setting of the sun combined with atmospheric lighting and music gives the whole ceremony a beautiful feel. And it’s not specific to a certain time of the year either. Twilight weddings are gathering a pace all year round, and here are Cresta Court Hotel's top tips to making it a romantic wedding day.
1 – Book a venue that has access to natural light. You and your guests will want to see the change from late afternoon to night time. It will help create a romantic setting and add to the excitement of the day. Also consider the lighting in the room. You want to create an intimate atmosphere so need to be able to adjust lighting.

But can you be sure that the professional beautician you choose is the right person for the job?
