💍 5 Tips for a Dream Wedding on a Budget! 💰✨
Planning a wedding doesn’t have to break the bank! Here are 5 ways to make your big day magical and affordable:
1️⃣ Choose an Off-Peak Date 🗓️ – Venues and vendors often have lower prices on weekdays or during off-peak months.
2️⃣ DIY Decor 🎨 – Personalize your wedding with handmade centerpieces, signage, and more. It’s budget-friendly and meaningful!
3️⃣ Keep It Intimate 👩❤️👨 – A smaller guest list means lower costs for food, drinks, and venue.
4️⃣ Repurpose Flowers 💐 – Use ceremony flowers for your reception to save money and waste!
5️⃣ Affordable Venues 🏰 – Look for stunning venues that don’t cost a fortune (like the ones at our Wedding Fayres!).

HWN Networking Event 🖤🤍
We had such a great event today, not only having a good catch up without it being in between setting up or dismantling your stall!
At HWN we’re building a community for suppliers where everyone is welcome and included… unless you’re cliquey & rude - then you can’t sit with us!
We also had a brilliant PR & social media masterclass with the amazing Hope McKellar of @espoir.agency - so many great ideas! Be sure to tag us in your PR wins after today!
Thank to everyone who attended today:

💛 voco Winchester Hotel & Spa 💛
I had such a lovely night at last nights launch of the new voco Winchester Hotel & Spa (formerly Holiday Inn) and seeing the new refurbishment - it is gorgeous!
Did you know they’ve put in a brand spa including jacuzzi hot tub along with lots of treatments, I didn’t! So will be booking myself in for a little spa day!
But the real star 🌟 of the show was the bridal suite… it’s massive! Perfect for getting ready with your bridesmaids and to head back to after your big day and is included in the wedding package!
So come to our wedding fayres next year to meet with the team and see for yourself just how gorgeous this new hotel is on the 2nd March 2025 & 13th July 2025.

Best wedding fayre in Hampshire 🥳
Hampshire Wedding Network started off as a simple idea - helping couples find affordable/hidden gem venues, whilst helping venues get the publicity they deserve & putting couples with my amazing supplier friends. And my goodness hasn’t it been popular to say the least!
It’s not hard to see why, all our venues are beautiful and couples love coming to see them. Our suppliers are all wonderful and beyond talented at what they do, we’ve built a fantastic community where we have as much fun at the fayres as you guys do.
HWN is growing so fast and I’m so thankful to every single person that has either bought a ticket to attend a fayre or has exhibited with us, so from the bottom of my heart thank you.
