An Essex Wedding - September/Ocotber 2020 (Issue 94)

6 H ello lovely Essex couples! Thanks so much for joining us this issue. Well, what a turbulent year it’s been so far. While writing this, things are still a little foggy and we’re not sure how restrictions will evolve when it comes to weddings. One thing is clear though: this is the time to focus on what’s important. And weddings are the escapism we all need right now. Whether you’re opting to host a small celebration that’s brimming with personal touches for close family or you’ve decided to pull out all the stops and throw the ultimate party when this is all over, there’s no wrong way of doing things. Now’s the time to go with your gut. This issue is full of inspiration, advice and incredible local suppliers who’ll treat your big day like their own. We’ve been in awe of the support the Essex wedding industry has shown couples over the last few months. So pop the kettle on, settle down and get ready to be inspired by incredible real weddings (page 38), drool over the region’s best caterers (page 59) and find your dream dress (page 75). Don’t forget, we’re offering our full back catalogue of digital magazines for free at this time – just head to our website.
