Throughout the current challenges, we’ve been inspired by stories of suppliers and venues going above and beyond to help couples planning or rescheduling their big day. Businesses have been busy behind the scenes, staying in touch via video calls and sending out messages of reassurance to keep all you newlyweds-to-be out there excited for your big day to come. With an ever-shifting landscape, no one can predict exactly what the future holds, but while small micro weddings can still go ahead, many have been grabbing the chance to tie the knot, despite the restrictions. Downsizing your big day doesn’t have to mean compromising on the look either, you can still have an intimate wedding that’s big on style! Local experts reveal how in our special feature, starting on page 55. Let’s face it we could all do with an extra dose of joy, so this issue as well as all the regular real weddings, expert tips and inspiration, we bring you cake – lots of it! From page 51 we showcase a whole gallery of magnificent creations – everything from gravity-defying tiers, to quirky designs, bold colours and unusual flavours – all made by talented local suppliers. So get the kettle on, put your feet up and enjoy! Sarah x Sarah Reeve, Editor How’s this for a showstopping cake? The feelgood factor WIN!
