Your North East Wedding - July/August 2023 (Issue 57)

15 SUNDERLAND’S FINEST Lambton Castle is just one of five venues to consider 43 AISLE STYLE Inspiration from top venue stylists Summer’s here at last, and for many that means tying the knot; glass of bubbles or Pimm’s in hand while enjoying the heat (which, to be fair, we need to take advantage of!). However, what I truly love about the North East is that weddings are stunning regardless of the time of year. Autumn brings with it a red and amber hue, with falling leaves and a crispness to the air; winter offers a taste of magic, thanks to incredible scenery and venues dusted in snow; and spring is yet another amazing time of year to say ‘we do’, with snowdrops and crocuses blanketing the grounds. I know you don’t need convincing, but just in case turn to our cover stars, Jessie and Dan; who married in cooler-than-cool January (p30). Or, for something more relevant to that bright yellow thing in the sky, head to page 25 for Anna and Dan’s August celebration. Elsewhere, I’ve plenty more inspo to gear you up for the best day of your lives. Venue-wise, check out where to wed in Sunderland and close by (p15); or embrace rustic chic with some oh-so-head turning spaces (p21). I’ve also been busy catching up with the North East’s best photographers (p47) and venue stylists (p43); as well as chatting to industry experts who’ve answered all your wedding concerns (p75). Then there’s all the prizes I have on offer, from a night out to remember at Darlington Hippodrome (p13), to an incredible four-night trip to Thailand (p85)! See you in September… Claire x Claire Muffett-Reece, Editor Summer Lovin’ 85 WIN An amazing holiday to Thailand!
