Read all about the latest openings and honeymoon destinations for couples post-vows. 47 Whether you’re newly engaged or a long-term reader – congratulations! I tied the knot just over two years ago and believe me when I say it goes by in a flash! From putting my dress on to the speeches, it felt like just minutes had passed. My number one piece of advice is to take some time out, just the two of you, to have a chat and take everything in. Keep in mind that the day is about celebrating your love, so it’s important that you spend time together. I didn’t see much of my husband in the evening and wish we’d taken more time to dance and chat with each other. Things will go wrong, but that’s okay. On the day, you won’t notice the little things, and all that will matter is celebrating with your friends and family. Surround yourself with people that you love and trust. My bridesmaids were absolutely amazing in the run-up to the wedding and on the day itself. They kept my nerves in check and made sure I felt like a beautiful bride. To help you plan your day, we’ve put together an issue full of inspiration. We’ve asked local experts for their planning advice, and we reveal the latest flower trends and local historic venues. If that’s not enough, we also highlight showstopping dresses, wow-factor honeymoon destinations and beauty trends. Happy planning!
