This year, I think we’re all looking forward to a special festive period of being reunited with loved ones to eat, drink and be merry now that all restrictions have been lifted. Whether you’re putting the finishing touches to a winter wedding or planning a larger affair for next year, it’s always fun for me to compile our end-of-year issue. I asked some of my favourite wedding cake designers in all three regions to send me their latest bakes which are revealed on page 53. I have also rounded up a selection of some of the best snow-capped venues in both regions that can be seen on page 19. There’s also bridal jewellery and accessories, dream dresses, big-day beauty and hot honeymoon destinations, along with much more, so I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did creating it, and I’ll see you next year. Until then... Claire x Claire Ridley, Editor Ho, ho, ho! Merry Xmas! Getting married this season? Then treat yourself to these Christmas tree earrings! Turn to page 80 to shop. 6
