Your Berks, Bucks & Oxon Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 81)

6 W elcome to the first issue of Your Berks Bucks and Oxon Wedding in 2020! Wow, where did the last 10 years go, and how exciting to start a new decade! If you’re tying the knot this year, what an exciting year to do it, and you’re in for a treat following each issue of Your Berks Bucks and Oxon Wedding because it’s packed to the brim full of local suppliers, from venues to photographers, cake designers to florists, all of our features, tips and inspiration is from the region. What’s more, Berkshire is home to our Signature Wedding Show at Ascot Racecourse, an event the County Wedding Magazine team loves to attend to meet with local professionals and also the couples visiting the show to hear all about their big-day plans. If you’re still in the throes of wedding planning then read on, as we’re on hand to help; this issue we have a wedding transport feature to get your inspiration wheels turning, as well as a photography showcase of our favourite wedding images from last year – there’s a couple of tear-jerkers in the mix so have your tissues at the ready! We’re also bursting with real wedding inspiration; from Eric and Lydia’s Harry Potter -themed day to Kate and Gary’s romantic do, Amy and Michael’s nuptials at De Vere Latimer to Scott and Rhonda’s perfect day – we hope you like them as much as we do. Finally, if the search continues for the dream venue, we highlight properties in South Bucks and South Oxon and a pick of hotel venues that mean you can stay that extra night and turn your wedding day in to a wedding weekend!
