An Essex Wedding - Sep/Oct 2019 (Issue 88)

6 A s we watch another summer wedding season slide away from view, I get the joy of seeing all the beautiful big days that have happened over the past few months land in my inbox. It never ceases to amaze me what an incredibly talented bunch of suppliers we have in Essex and how many awesome couples there are who are dedicated to rocking their day in their own way. As a self-confessed nosy parker, seeing all of your incredible weddings is the best part of my job – flick to page 36 to see this issue’s pick. If you’re prone to wanderlust, turn to page 119 to check out our favourite honeymoon spots. I was lucky enough to head to the ultimate luxury destination: the Maldives. I know, I’d hate me too! This issue we’ve also rounded up some of the best local transport options to help you arrive in style (page 57) and we’re sharing some catering tips from local experts (page 63). Warning: Don’t read if you’re hungry!
