Psst, we’ve teamed up with Gatwards Jewellers to share an exclusive offer! This couple felt anxious the morning of the wedding but also excited. But as soon as they saw each other, they instantly relaxed and were smiling from ear to ear the entire day. It really was the best day of their lives!

If you’re anything like me, you’ve been counting the days until the sun arrives. Don’t get me wrong, I love winter but I miss embracing the outdoors and being amongst nature. I’ve had enough of the darker nights and scraping ice off my car! There’s something so magical about the time of year: the sun is shining, nature is thriving and animals are emerging. It’s also a time for spring cleaning and organising for a fresh start, perfect if you’re looking for a relaxed mind ready for wedding planning. My number one tip from the get-go is to work as a team, as the big day should reflect both your love story and personality. Don’t get caught up trying to please everyone else; it’s your day after all. Highlight all the most essential aspects of the wedding and make these a priority throughout the planning process. Set a budget for each element on a spreadsheet with what you’re comfortable spending, payment deadlines and the balance left to pay to keep on track. The fun part of wedding planning is finding dream-worthy suppliers who share your vision. Lucky for you, this issue is bursting full of local talent with plenty of wedding planning experience. We have it all from top designers, photographers, florists, hairstylists, bakers, wedding planners and more. Pull up a chair, grab a cuppa and enjoy!
