One thing to come out of the past ‘annus horribilis’ though is proof, if proof was needed, that love wins no matter what. When the rules have allowed, some people have grabbed the chance to marry on and from pages 38 to 48 we feature two happy couples who did just that. Their joyous celebrations are a triumph of love over adversity and show just how special an intimate wedding can be. For those having to reschedule and all the newly engaged couples out there, your big day will come and we’re here to help with all the inspiration, latest trends and advice you need. On page 79 local experts share their insight into key wedding trends for the year ahead. With sustainability and eco-friendly credentials an increasingly important priority, it’s never been more relevant than now to shop locally. So from page 57 we shine a light on what’s available around the region in the handmade sector to help reduce the carbon footprint of your day. And if you’re looking to nail your wedding day bridal style, we’ve got you covered from pages 60 to 77 with everything from hair and beauty, to fashion and accessories. Packed with local suppliers, magical venues, regional news and all the regular features, honeymoons, inspiration and more, we’re excited and hope you are too. Enjoy!
