Yes, it’s that magical time of the year once again! I don’t know about you but this year has passed by quickly for me, and luckily it has been a wonderful one. I’m very blessed to be a proud auntie to my little nephew, Malachi who was born last Christmas – the best present ever! I’ve also been lucky enough to experience some memorable trips and experiences this year, including snorkelling in Mauritius; practising yoga in Turkey and enjoying a speedboat trip around the Greek islands. When you read this, I’ll be enjoying the lead-up to Christmas in Miami and New Orleans. To celebrate this festive period, I’ve compiled a seasonal issue for you to enjoy. There’s everything from themed real weddings and styled shoots to snow-capped venues, perfect for winter weddings. Don’t miss the latest news, offers, fashion, beauty and honeymoon inspiration plus there are handmade ideas for those planning a DIY wedding, and local photographers reveal their favourite festive snaps. For those of you getting married soon, I wish you many congratulations and for those not taking the plunge until 2024, I’ll see you next issue. Happy Christmas!
