Your Bristol & Somerset Wedding - Dec/Jan 2019 (Issue 74)

6 B eing a November baby and Christmas fanatic, this time of year has a special place in my heart. As for winter nuptials, well, is there anything more magical? One of my best friends got married at Christmas, and the luxurious decorations, roaring log fire and delicious warming food will forever be in my memory – what a wedding! If you’re just starting your journey and haven’t decided when to get married, then our Winter Wonderland venues feature (page 23) puts forward a pretty good argument for choosing this season! We have such a treat for you this issue with four incredible styled shoots. One will get you reaching for the mulled wine with its wonderfully seasonal feel (page 97), while another is a drop-dead gorgeous photo shoot set in the picturesque ruins of an old church (page 71). With features on flowers (page 63), cakes (page 55) and Hollywood-inspired dresses (page 79), this issue is an absolute corker!
