Your East Midlands Wedding - Page number 6 - August/September 2021 (Issue 45)

H ello lovely readers and welcome to another issue of Your East Midlands Wedding . I hope you’ve been enjoying the sunshine and warmer weather; the time has flown by and I can’t believe it’s already August! I personally love summer as the birds are singing in the morning, you can soak up more vitamin D and the evenings are perfect for sitting outside with a glass of gin – something I love to do! As we’re reaching the end of the season, I’m excited to see autumnal nuptials take place. This time of year is popular for rustic, boho, vintage or country-style weddings and why not have fun with the colour palette and embrace autumn with burnt orange, burgundy, browns and beige shades? Planning you special day can seem like a daunting task, but don’t panic as we’ve gathered local experts from around the region to share inspiration and offer stellar advice to make this process much more manageable. In this issue you’ll find beauty tips, learn how to find talented suppliers and answers to any big-day dilemmas. When it comes to creating your dream day, remember that communication is vital. Take this opportunity to work together as a team and create a day that represents you both. Stay true to yourselves and don’t be swayed too much by other peoples opinions; it’s your day after all! One of the highlights of my job is getting to view so many different styles of wedding, seeing couples celebrate their day surrounded by loved ones is truly special. Make sure to turn to our real wedding features, where you’ll get the chance to read real love stories and view their special day.
