DIA SHING NTS SHING EVENTS & PUBLISHING cwe COUNTY WEDDING EVENTS Hello lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your Herts and Beds Wedding! Spring is finally here, and I couldn’t be more thrilled! After being cooped up indoors trying to stay warm, I can’t wait to venture outdoors and embrace more sunshine. The time of year is all about getting organised and new beginnings, which is perfect if you’re trying to plan your wedding. Spring nuptials are always a fabulous season to tie the knot with more seasonal produce, fun colour palettes, plenty of natural lighting for photographs and more flowers to pick from. Gardens will be in full bloom, meaning you’ll naturally have dreamworthy backdrops to take advantage of – cherry blossoms are my favourite way to add the wow factor to stunning images. We’ve handselected stunning al fresco venues with glorious gardens to give you a head start on wedding planning! Ensure you have a backup plan if you want to exchange vows outdoors, as the British weather can be unpredictable. A marquee or indoor space will provide loved ones with cover in case of any April showers. Photographers can capture stunning images no matter the weather, so embrace the rain with a funky pair of wellies and an umbrella for the ultimate photo shoot. Keep in mind any national holidays or events, such as Mother’s Day or school holidays, as many people will be making plans in advance. Before you go, check out our stunning weddings and shoots that are bursting full of inspiration. Here you’ll find talented companies, stunning images and wow-factor details. That’s all from me; happy planning! Olivia x Olivia Gibson, Editor Spring fever 21 54 81 Feeling lucky?
