Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding - May/June 2019 (Issue 45)

6 Enjoy a dose of retail therapy with my hue of the moment: mint green Love and marriage W ell, hello lovely brides of this fantastic region, welcome to my very first issue of Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding magazine! I’m extremely excited to be bringing you the absolute best the area has to offer for your nuptials. June holds something dear to me as it’s the month my amazing parents tied the knot back in the heady days of the 1970s. So, while I get caught up in flowers, dresses and styling, my dear mum and dad and their 46 years of matrimony remind me of the bigger picture. After the best day of your lives comes something so much more – a marriage – and my goodness that’s worth celebrating. So, with no further ado let’s talk about our gateway to summer issue. My absolute favourite thing about wedding planning is the flowers. Every season has something new and gorgeous to bring, so check out our bloomin’ lovely walk through the year on page 59. Finding the right photographer can be a minefield. Hands up, before I began my journey here at CWM towers I had no idea of the huge spectrum in the industry. A photographer’s a photographer right? Wrong! There’s documentary vs. traditional; black and white vs. colour; engagement shoots and first look shoots – mindblowing stuff. We’ve put together a gorgeous variety of showstopping images from ceremony to celebrations so you can get a clear picture of the way you’d like your W-day to be captured. Feast your eyes on the feature from page 53.
