Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Jun/Jul 2019 (Issue 77)

6 PLANNING FUN T here’s so much to think about when it comes to wedding lists that it pays to look ahead – in our magazine, that is. This issue, we’ve got a roundup of venues with beautiful gardens from page 29, you can meet some of the region’s top bridal outfitters in our boutiques special from page 69 and pore over the latest in wedding cake ideas from page 75 – if that’s not too much like hard work! Feast your eyes on our inspirational styled shoot from page 61 and our get-the-rustic-look Hot Topic special from page 112. So while we can’t actually organise your wedding for you, we can certainly help. Here at County Weddings HQ, we believe you should do your wedding your way, and our three real wedding features this issue, from page 40, demonstrate exactly that. Because that’s the flip side of planning – it’s all about giving you control, whether that’s having a crazy big day in your own Narnia or a chilled out al fresco affair with the people you love best. And while it might be a cliché, just like with all our lovely suppliers, at Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding we think it’s all about making your dreams come true. Who knows, a few issues down the line, maybe you’ll be in one of our real wedding features. We can’t wait! Happy planning! Pssst! I went to such a relaxed wedding a few weeks ago. It reminded me that the most important thing is just to have fun on your big day – here’s my roundup of some of the latest products to help you to do that.
