Your Kent Wedding - Mar/Apr 2020 (Issue 89)

6 W e’re well into 2020 now and the year’s trends are starting to make themselves known. I’m already obsessed with 20th- century vintage and am delighted to see a growing wedding eco-consciousness. Some of Kent’s top suppliers have been hard at work, bringing the newest looks to life. Just head over to pages 67, 72, 82, and 87 where these wedding wonders await for you all to enjoy. With my mind never too far away from my stomach, one thing I was keen to get the latest take on was the big-day bake. Probably the biggest consideration for couples this year, and beyond, is how to personalise their wedding day, so we asked Kent’s cake makers how to inject a healthy dose of character into the sweet centrepiece. Turn to page 77 to find out what they had to say. As your self-appointed BFF for all things wedding, we’ve got everything you need to plan your big day with confidence and aplomb. So, if you’re newly engaged and about to set out on the hunt for your perfect venue, help is at hand with our roundup of local stately home and manor house locations. Alternatively, if W-day is now on the horizon, you can find some fabulous bridal-look finishing touches in our bling-tastic jewellery feature on page 95, as well as my top beauty buy tips on page 118. Happy planning one and all! Psst! Don’t forget: if you’ve loved feeling inspired by our real wedding couples, and are keen to do the same for future readers, visit yourkent.wedding/get-involved-real-wedding to find out how.
