Hope you had a smashing Christmas. As the calendar marks another new year, perhaps you’re now crossing off the days until your 2025 wedding. How is the planning going? Are you pretty much there? If you’ve still got some ‘to-dos’ on your list, fear not as this issue is packed with ideas as always. If, on the other hand, you had the opportunity to say ‘yes’ to a very important question over the festive season a huge congratulations to you! Let me tell you, you’ve come to the right place. This issue you’ll find our annual Planning SOS feature, which is just what you need to get your planning started on the right foot. Plus, when the time comes to shop for your dream dress, take a look at our bridal boutiques feature, introducing you to some of the county’s favourites. They’ve got plenty of tips for you and gave us a peek into the hottest styles for 2025. Speaking of the new year’s trends, we asked our Hot Topic experts for the inside track so turn to page 50 for some inspiration. We’ve also got some stunningly gorgeous shoots for you to feast your eyes on. One is a celebration of diversity delivering the message that you don’t have to change who you are for your wedding day, simply celebrate it. The other is a swoon-worthy display of Yorkshire pride inspired by the Gothic romances of the Bronte sisters. I hope you enjoy this issue and if you are tying the knot this year, don’t forget to get in touch to see it feature among our pages. You can reach me at kelly.andrews@ellismediaandevents.com.

Kelly Andrews, editor 39 BE YOUNIQUE “Brides (and grooms) often feel a huge amount of pressure to lose weight, grow their hair, or change in some way before they feel beautiful enough to get married,” says shoot coordinator Debbie-Lyn from DL Models Ltd. “So, we wanted to organise this styled shoot with our diverse models to show how beautiful they can look and feel by embracing their uniqueness.” 43 BEAUTIFUL BRONTË I love a Gothic romance, so I was particularly excited when this moody, atmospheric shoot landed in my inbox. “He’s more myself than I am.
