Wedding season is now upon us! For those of you who have just become engaged (maybe you enjoyed a May bank holiday proposal) then congratulations, you’re at the beginning of your wedding planning journey. For those of you putting the finishing touches to a late-summer celebration then take inspiration from our local real-life wedding couples and advice from a host of expert regional suppliers. Want to take some time out from the wedding planning this summer and enjoy afternoon tea with a view? Then be sure to read my review of Buckinghamshire’s beautiful Burnham Beeches Hotel on page 31 where I was lucky enough to dine on their delicious afternoon tea before retiring to the pool for some much-needed rest. That’s not all – there’s also all the latest wed-day news, exclusive offers, fashion, beauty and hot honeymoon buys. Until the next issue...
