Your North East Wedding - November/December 2019 (Issue 35)

6 C hoosing a wedding dress for many brides-to-be can be a stressful affair, from spending hours researching the latest styles, to booking appointments at dozens of bridal boutiques in the quest to find your fairy-tale gown. If you’re adamant you want goosebumps and tears when you finally find ‘the one’, then feel free to go for it – have fun and happy shopping! But what if you don’t get butterflies in your stomach when slipping them on? Just take our bride Faith over on page 38. She began wedding dress shopping knowing she wasn’t going to cry or settle on a dress 100%, instead finding a gown she felt confident walking up the aisle in. So, if you like the look of a dress on you, but your mam hasn’t burst into happy tears, stay strong! You’re the one who’s going to be wearing it! Also this issue, we’re jam-packed with pages of styling wedding inspiration to really help with those big-day decisions. There’s venues that look sensational in the snow (p21), a stunning shoot at Northumberland’s Eshott Hall (p27), and wedding catering to make your guests’ mouths water on page 53. All that plus the chance to win a night’s stay at Gisborough Hall (p13) – and a honeymoon to Tuscany, worth £1,300 on page 96! Enjoy planning the best day of your lives … Claire x Distributed by Marketforce (UK) Ltd, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU.
