Your East Anglian Wedding - Dec/Jan 2019 (Issue 40)

6 I t’s party poppers at the ready as we turn the page on the 40 th ruby edition of Your East Anglian Wedding! With Christmas and New Year on the agenda as well for this landmark anniversary issue, we couldn’t be more excited to bring you all the latest news and wedding loveliness from around the region. Packed with fresh ideas and lovely seasonal weddings to excite and inspire you, there’s plenty to celebrate. Personally, I love the festive season; romantic nights in snuggled around an open fire, mulled wine simmering on the hob and plenty of old films on the TV. It’s the ideal opportunity to embrace the hygge, a Danish ethos, which roughly translated, is all about simplifying things and enjoying the moment, bringing a mix of cosiness, charm and comfort into your life. Not only great for the every day, it’s a brilliant way of de-stressing the wedding planning too. As December is also the most popular time of year for proposals, there’ll soon be a whole new wave of newlyweds-to-be embarking on their wedding journey and we’re here to help. This issue is packed with everything from top tips and advice from local experts (page 91), to what’s hot for 2020 brides (page 69) latest trends in wedding catering (page 63) and more. So put your feet up, get cosy and enjoy! Wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year! Sarah x Distributed by Marketforce (UK) Ltd, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU.
