Hello lovely readers, and welcome to another issue of Your North East Wedding. As the weather warms up and the daffodils start peeping through, it’s time to welcome spring with open arms. We’re one step closer to summer, and although I’m dreaming of those beach days soaking up the sun, spring is such a special time of year. I love being in nature surrounded by pretty flowers, and as a huge animal lover, I’m so excited for adorable animals to be born! As we get closer to July, I can’t help but get even more excited for my colleague Melissa to tie the knot to the lovely Dave. As a bridesmaid, I’ve loved supporting my close friend and helping her prepare for such an important day – I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle! I’ve found my perfect attire; a sage green coldshoulder dress that flows to the floor. All I need now is to find those perfect finishing touches. The time of year is perfect for exchanging vows, and we can begin utilizing outdoor spaces more for the “I dos”, drinks receptions, garden games, chill out areas and more. Make sure to check out our Glorious Gardens feature, where you’ll discover beautiful venues with amazing surroundings. In this issue, you’ll also find beauty tips, entertainment ideas, stunning real weddings, venue inspiration and more. We’ve gathered some of the top suppliers from around the county to share their advice regarding wedding dilemmas and last-minute worries. My time as the editor for Your North East Wedding has come to an end. Over the last two years, I’ve really seen what this amazing region has to offer from the talented suppliers, showstopping venues and inspirational couples – I’m so proud of what you have all achieved. That’s all from me; now sit back, relax and celebrate anything and everything wedding. Happy planning!
