It’s new year and that means either you’re another year closer or it’s finally the year of your big day… exciting! I just love the feeling that January brings. There are no January blues for me – I always feel excited at what’s to come in the year ahead. It’s a fresh start, a time to reflect and reset and kick the year off with the best will in the world to achieve everything I set out to achieve (usually carried over from the year before, and always involves winning the lottery – I can but dream!). Then comes February and Valentine’s Day! You can’t miss it can you? As John Paul Young sang, Love is in the air, everywhere I look around, Love is in the air, every sight and every sound… So true! What better time to enjoy your date nights and take inspiration from the romantic feeling that’s all around you – from the gorgeous flowers to the themed menus and lush hues of reds and pinks. Whether you’re in the throes of wedding planning or just starting out, this issue is sure to get you in the mood for creating the day of your dreams!
