6 W hen writing this, we’re about eight weeks in to what we now know is ‘lockdown’ and I, along with the rest of the country, and the world, have found it to be an emotional roller-coaster. Of course, nothing compares to what our wonderful NHS and key workers face each day, however, we’re all doing our best to keep our own little bubble moving and safe! This issue, it’s been wonderful working with local suppliers and couples, supporting both through this time, and fingers, toes and everything crossed we start to see our wonderful world of weddings come back to us slowly but surely! For some true escapism, this edition is packed to the brim with lovely inspiration for planning your wedding during lockdown and beyond; we have delicious cake designs over on page 77 and some stunning bridal boutiques from 65 to 67.
