Yes, I successfully survived the summer – hurrah! To be fair, I don’t know if we can even describe the last few months as summer, but never mind, it suited me down to the ground! Now, here we are in autumn already. This season is growing enormously in popularity for weddings and is one of my favourites as I love to see couples getting super-creative with their themes and colour palettes. Think rich jewel tones, which are stunning on their own or used with pastels as an accent colour. Rust is huge at the moment too. Oh-so modern, it comes into its own during the autumn months. More so than any other season, autumn immediately conjures up associated colours typified by nature at this time of year, such as the reds and oranges of turning leaves. It’s also ideal timing if you fancy something a bit quirky. With Halloween on the horizon, add plenty of pumpkins to your styling. What about carving your own romantic scenes into them to represent your unique love story and using as illuminated centrepieces? Gothic and enchanted forest vibes also work particularly well at this time of year. What’s more, the much-loved rustic feel really comes to life when given a harvest-time twist. This issue we’ve got a stunning styled shoot for you offering a whole heap of wedspiration from the coast of North Wales. Meanwhile, if you’re planning your al fresco nuptials for next summer and beyond, don’t miss our outdoor wedding feature where you’ll find a host of suppliers giving us the benefit of their wisdom on the matter. Then, to get you to the church (or venue) on time, you’ll need wedding transport you can rely on. So, the region’s suppliers have stepped up to show us their favourite, stylish vehicles. As ever, enjoy and keeeep planning!
