Well, didn’t 2024 go by in a flash? I can’t hardly believe we’re here at the end of the year talking about Christmas and New Year! Huge congrats to all of you tying the knot this season. I can’t wait to see the photos of your cosy, romantic big days. And for those of you currently considering a winter wedding date, don’t miss our winter wonderland venues feature from page 19, rounding up the cosiest local hotspots, a dream for the season. This issue our thoughts have turned to cake. Unsurprisingly really considering we here at CWM HQ rarely stop thinking about our stomachs! After all, isn’t it the way to most peoples hearts?! The big-day bake not only brings a smile to guests’ faces with a sweet treat in the evening but also acts as a centrepiece to tie your theme or palette together. So, we asked the region’s bakers to send us their seasonally-inspired showstoppers. Since, we’re now looking ahead to 2025 we asked the experts in both Hot Topic (page 61) and Beauty Q&A (page 78) for their top trend predictions to get you ahead of the curve. As well as wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, I’ll sign off 2024 by saying: Enjoy, and keeeep planning! See you in 2025!
