An Essex Wedding - May/June 2020 (Issue 92)

6 I always know summer has arrived when I have an overwhelming urge to watch Four Weddings and a Funeral – my unofficial way of marking the start of wedding season. Unfortunately though, in these unprecedented times, I have a little while longer to wait for the two weddings I had in the diary this season – the suspense is too much! We have an epic issue for you, which is full of incredible fashion picks (page 64), cakes that are almost too good to eat (page 53), honeymoons to daydream about (page 98), and of course, our gorgeous collection of real weddings (page 34) to inspire you. We’re dedicating this issue to the amazing Essex wedding suppliers who have remained positive throughout these tumultuous times and worked tirelessly to ensure couples can still have their dream days. We salute you! Hannah x Distributed by Marketforce (UK) Ltd, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU.
