6 Getting overwhelmed with your hunt for the perfect wedding transport? Get to know local experts on page 47. I t’s that time of year again where the shops are packed, and everyone is getting into the festive spirit. After a rough year, I think we can all agree that a few weeks of Christmas cheer is most welcome! Whatever your plans are, I hope you have a lovely time and take a well-deserved break. The December/January issue has always been my favourite, and I look forward to writing it every year. It’s packed full of inspiration, adorable products, wintry weddings and the latest fashion trends. To celebrate the end of 2020, we’ve gone all out with a transport feature that will help you find the perfect vehicle, a guide to looking your big-day best and wintry make-up tips.
