Hello lovely readers and welcome to another issue of Your Hampshire and Dorset Wedding! I hope you’ve all started 2024 with a bang, just like the fabulous fireworks displays that lit the sky when Big Ben struck midnight. I think January is a wonderful time of year. Some may disagree with me, but the first month of the year signifies new beginnings, which I find rather quite exciting. It’s so freeing to set new goals and ambitions. Remember to be kind to yourself; don’t add too much pressure this time of year, and conquer your goals one step at a time. Focus one foot in front of the other, and you’ll get closer to your destination before you know it – we’ve got this! For many, January will be full of celebrations after many pop the question over the Christmas and New Year period – congratulations if that’s you! Welcome to the world of weddings; we’re so happy you’re here and can’t wait to help you plan the big day with showstopping venues, expert suppliers and plenty of advice. We aim to support you from receiving your fabulous engagement ring until you walk down the aisle and dance the night away while keeping it local. It doesn’t stop there, as we share popular honeymoon destinations for unforgettable trips worldwide. For those creeping closer to your special day, we have plenty of last-minute tips and tricks to ensure a stress-free wedding, as well as the perfect finishing touches for that extra wow factor. So, no matter where you’re at with wedding planning, there’s something for everyone. That’s all from me; happy planning! Olivia x Olivia Gibson, Editor Happy New Year!
