Your West Midlands Wedding - Oct/Nov 2019 (Issue 64)

6 T hey say wedding season is typically over the summer months, however, I think autumn and winter nuptials are actually coming in to their own. I’m super excited to see the pastel colour palettes change to warm, earthy hues, bridal bouquets go from picture-perfect posies to over-sized daring designs; even the catering changes, gone are fresh and light courses and we read more about warming and hearty roasts, and rich-flavoured big-day bakes. This issue we have a host of inspiration whatever month you tie the knot. Our fashion spreads provide the perfect balance, boho beauties versus glamorous must-haves, as does our honeymoon pages showcasing travel options for stay-at-home-lovers and for jet-setters. We think our real weddings offer inspiration aplenty of how to plan the big day your way, and the styled shoots gives you so many ideas to think about – best grab your pen and pad! We hope you enjoy reading this issue as much as we’ve enjoyed compiling it together for you! Pull up a chair, pour a brew and happy reading!
