For many, though, I’ve no doubt 2019 signals a new milestone as you mark off another year in the countdown to the big day, and some of you can officially say “I’m getting married… this year!” But if the excitement in saying so abates and gives way to panic that there’s still so much to do, don’t worry – Your Sussex Wedding is here to help with oodles of inspiration.

If these pages tell you anything, it’s that your wedding day is no one’s but yours, so plan for you and your personality as a couple. Tradition is great, but it shouldn’t be restrictive. What’s more, it’s Valentine’s Day, people! So in this issue’s Hot Topic (page 89), we talk wedding day touches to bring that added air of romance.
