Your North West Wedding - Dec/Jan 2019 (Issue 59)

6 W elcome to our Christmas issue! It’s that time of year again when the shops are packed and everyone’s desperately trying to think of gifts to buy their nearest and dearest. Now the warm weather has disappeared it’s time to battle through the cold and get in the festive spirit. To help, I’ve created an issue bursting with inspiration. We have four real weddings, starting on page 33, four regional shoots on page 79, 83, 87 and 91. Living in the North West, you’re lucky enough to have your pick of beautiful wedding venues. To help narrow down your search, we’re focusing on Lancashire and fairytale locations on pages 17 and 27. What’s more, we’ve got a bumper fashion section, starting on page 66, and we explore the best bridal boutiques on pages 73-77. We’re also getting ready for the new year with our Handmade in the North West feature over on page 57. I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and New Year!
