68 WIN! A luxury two-night weekend stay at the world-renowned Sheraton Grand Park Lane, London worth £,1000 27 SHORT & CHIC I always love to see a bride switch up her outfit for the evening reception, and Millie’s super-chic sixties flower power vibe was every bit as fashion forward as her stunning daytime look. I’ve probably said, “This season is my favourite,” about all of them at some point, but hear me out! Springtime has to be the pinnacle when it comes to weddings. First, there’s the symbolism of new life that Easter brings. You’re about to embark upon your own new life together and the possibilities of reflecting that throughout your nuptials, thanks to Mother Nature, are abundant. This brings me onto sustainability. As any florist worth their salt will tell you, one of the major ways to protect the environment when it comes to your flowers is to choose locally-grown blooms in season at the time of your wedding. Looking at the best of British, the spring offers you a playground of varieties oh-so perfect for weddings, beautifully fragranced, delicate, romantic and colourful. Picture your centrepieces and bouquet bursting with tulips, bluebells, roses, daffodils, a stunning array of wildflowers, and later in the season the burgeoningly popular peony. Yes please! So, I’m slightly biased, but Yorkshire offers the most glorious backdrop for your big day, not just during the spring but all year around. We decided to celebrate that fact with the help of the county’s wedding photographers in this year’s photography focus. A stunning setting transforms your memories into a work of art to treasure forever, and Yorkshire is undoubtedly a photographer’s heaven. With plenty more wedspiration this issue, from jewellery to venues, finishing touches to real weddings I encourage you not to miss a single page! Enjoy and keeeep planning!

Kelly Andrews, editor 39 TOTALLY IN AWE From the dramatic, moody landscapes of Cathy and Heathcliff to the urban cool vibes of Sheffield and Leeds, and awe-inspiring history of York; Yorkshire has the backdrop to suit you. 33 EAGERLY ANTICIPATED Early on wedding morn, real bride Jess went for a walk around the venue’s lake. “I could hear glasses clinking as they were being prepared for the day and could see suppliers and guests starting to move around inside Thicket Priory. I just remember thinking what an epic day lay ahead,” she says.
