An Essex Wedding - Nov/Dec 2019 (Issue 89)

6 B eing a November baby and Christmas fanatic, this time of year has a special place in my heart. As for winter nuptials, well, is there anything more magical? One of my best friends got married at Christmas, and the luxurious decorations, roaring log fire and delicious warming food will forever be in my memory – what a wedding! If you’re just starting your journey and haven’t decided when to get married, then our Winter Wonderland venues feature (page 27) puts forward a pretty good argument for choosing this season. We have such a treat for you this issue with three incredible styled shoots. Two will get you reaching for the mulled wine with their wonderfully seasonal feel (pages 93 and 103), while the third is a drop-dead gorgeous Marie Antoinette-inspired shoot (page 63). With Christmas around the corner we’re loving all things sparkly, so check out our pick of Essex jewellers on page 73, and get ready to book your big-day entertainment on page 67.
