Your South Wales Wedding - November/December 2019 (Issue 70)

10 I can’t believe we’re celebrating the 70 th issue of Your South Wales Wedding ! It seems like only yesterday I was beginning my first issue, but here we are! To mark this milestone, I’ve created an issue bursting with inspiration. We have four real weddings, starting on page 35, three regional shoots on pages 83, 87 and 91 and a special anniversary feature on page 113. Living in Wales, you’re lucky enough to have your pick of beautiful wedding venues. To help narrow down your search, we’re focusing on Monmouthshire and fairytale locations on pages 21 and 29. What’s more, we’ve got a bumper fashion section, starting on page 97 and we explore the best jewellery and accessories South Wales has to offer on pages 59-63. We’re also getting ready for the new year with our catering feature over on page 67. Warning: Don’t read on an empty stomach! Thank you for sticking with us through the years, and here’s to another 70 issues! Melissa x Distributed by Marketforce (UK) Ltd, 5 Churchill Place, Canary Wharf, London, E14 5HU.
