6 We have some amazing discounts up for grabs on page 13. W elcome to our October/November issue! I feel a bit crazy saying that, how can it be October already, it feels like yesterday that it was January? I think we can all agree it’s been a crazy year, but it’s been so lovely seeing the West Midlands wedding industry come together and help couples power through these tough times. Whether you’ve recently got engaged – congratulations! – or are re-planning your special day, think of us as your new BFF when it comes to wedding planning. We’re here to support you through every aspect of your day and have put together an issue bursting with inspiration. Our fashion section is full of the latest trends for the whole bridal party, we’ve asked local photographers to send in their favourite images and put together a catering feature to help you create the perfect menu. If you’re still looking for a venue, don’t despair, we’ve rounded up properties in Cannock and Staffordshire and some of the best local barns. We’re always looking for real weddings and styled shoots to feature in the magazine so make sure you submit yours at www.yourwestmidlands.wedding/get-involved-real-wedding Enjoy the issue!
