perfect wedding

Sketchley Grange Hotel and Spa is inviting those who are looking to turn their dream big day into reality to register for its Wedding Fayre, taking place on Sunday 24th February between 11am and 3pm in the Bradgate & Grove Suite at the hotel and spa in Hinckley.

The exclusive event will provide inspiration and ideas for brides and grooms, as well as making the whole process of planning a wedding as stress-free as possible. Sketchley Grange has teamed up with organiser, Whoop Events East Limited, to hand-pick over 60 expert wedding suppliers to exhibit at the event, including wedding attire specialists, venue dressers, florists and videographers.

Nearly one third of Brits see an unlimited bar as the ultimate requirement for their perfect wedding, a recent survey has revealed. In fact, 30 per cent of the British public just wouldn’t feel the same about the big day without an unlimited bar. 

Commissioned by Newbury Racecourse, the survey also revealed that women were more eager to keep the drink flowing than men, with 31 per cent agreeing that this was the most important factor for their perfect wedding. Men were marginally behind, with 28 per cent agreeing. 

Respondents under the age of 24 were thirstiest, with 41 per cent stating that the free bar was the most important factor. Only 19 per cent of those aged 55+ agreed – the lowest percentage of any age group. 

Want a helping hand to get rid of those excess pounds? Then try Yacón Syrup – a sweet treat with hidden benefits. Derived from the tuberous roots of the Peruvian Yacón plant, known locally as Peruvian Ground Apple, Yacón Syrup has a sweet pear-like taste not too dissimilar to caramelised sugar.

With half the calories of sugar and a low GI it makes for a deliciously healthy alternative to sugar. Simply add to foods and drink as you would sugar. Yacón has also been shown to support digestive health and may even help to curb appetite.
