Your East Anglian Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 39)

6 M y daughter Kate was born on bonfire night and the colours, sights and smells of the season always make me feel nostalgic. It’s a wonderfully evocative time of year, perfect for taking time out from the wedding planning to relax and enjoy the great outdoors before the hectic festive period and bleak winter weather kicks in. There’s plenty of inspiration to be found all around us. East Anglia is blessed with glorious countryside, woods and forests, so why not grab your partner, pull on your wellies and head out for a good forage? Be inspired by the russet tones of falling leaves and the rich, berry shades of plump seasonal fruits for your big-day palette. Conkers, acorns, twigs, brambles and other finds can provide a wealth of natural decorative material too. Think ornamental gourds in different shapes and sizes, pumpkins and richly coloured seasonal blooms like dahlias and chrysanthemums for your centrepieces and reception décor. To find out what local experts have to say on making the most of this time of year, turn to page 90. As well as autumnal inspiration, this issue is packed with ideas, latest trends and top tips for all things wedding-related from boho bridal fashion and fabulous local venues to showstopping cakes created by some of the region’s finest. And with the nation currently in the grip of baking fever, here at County Weddings HQ we’re keeping Tuesday nights free for our weekly fix of cake triumphs, catastrophes and innuendo courtesy of The Great British Bake Off #GBBO.
