And just like that we’ve stepped into 2025! I love the start of the year, a fresh start. Time to de-clutter, open that brand new diary (stationery addicts you know the feeling!) and manifest the best year of your life. This is when the countdown truly begins for our 2025 brides and grooms - your year has arrived. This issue, we’ve plenty to inspire. Experts in their field, we talk to venue stylists about what trends they think will be huge – we’re talking disco balls, bright, oversized florals and bows – my personal fav! Our photography feature is packed with photo inspo, true artists in their field, we’re spoilt for choice in Essex. Styles can vary so much from editorial portraits to traditional to completely candid snaps, so do take a look at their online galleries, social media accounts or ping them an email – they’re a friendly bunch! I’ve also caught up with three couples, all recently wed, who have kindly talked us through their big days – all so different and beautiful – a true reflection of their personalities. Looking through the galleries of your real weddings is the highlight of my job, so please do keep ’em coming.
