30 LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION You won’t want to miss Natasha and Cameron’s engagement story. It was definitely one of a kind! Spring is all about new life with trees blossoming, daffodils flowering and young wildlife coming into the world. So, it’s a fitting time of year for a wedding as two people who’ve found love prepare to begin their own new life together. As we emerge from the long winter months, springtime nuptials make the perfect celebration, bringing everyone out of hiding! Everything about this time of year just feels joyous from the light, fresh flavours in food, to the oh-so beautiful flower varieties that come into bloom plus the lighter nights and warmer weather. When anyone tries to tell me that pastel palettes are out for weddings, I’m afraid I have to stick my fingers in my ears – la, la, la! Wildflower-inspired themes have made their way into my heart over the last couple of years and I for one refuse to see them fall out of fashion! Vibrant hues are all very well and good in any other season, but what could be more complementary in the spring than a glorious garden-inspired palette of pink, Peach Fuzz, lavender, sage and lemon? Be still my beating heart! There’s a myriad of ways to bring these shades bang up to date: just picture an ombre of fresh yellows with zingy citrus, lemon and mustard complete with Mediterranean vibes. Sunny and oh-so stylish. Your wedding’s fun finishing touches are a great way to show off your perfect palette even further, and that’s just what we’re discussing this issue from page 53. Think colourful delicate macaron favours or cake table décor. Meanwhile, our experts have sustainability sussed out from page 61 and are ready to clue you in on ensuring your wedding doesn’t quite literally cost the earth. So, as ever, enjoy and keeeep planning! Kelly x Kelly Andrews, editor A new life ISSN 1750-3477 Your Sussex Wedding is solely owned, published and designed by Ellis Media and Events Ltd.
