Your Sussex Wedding - October/November 2019 (Issue 81)

6 F inally, autumn is here! With a new freshness in the air as the weather starts to change, I’ve found my joie de vivre. That’s not least because it’s always been a tradition in my family to take our annual holiday in October, and this year is no different. I love a staycation and will be checking in to some of my favourite places in the UK, including a visit to Uckfield’s stunning Buxted Park, which I’ll fill you in on next issue. So to our gorgeous autumn issue, and have we got some styled shoots for you! From cutting edge venue styling to outdoor adventure, 21st-century Deco to rich rustic, they showcase it all with aplomb. Check them all out on pages 65, 71 and 80. Once again, our experts have outdone themselves in our Hot Topic and Beauty Q&A features. So if you’re planning yourself an idyllic autumn wedding day, you’ll not want to miss their words of wisdom on pages 85 and 120. Finally, I must say it was a pleasure – once again – to consult the experts at Sussex’s bridal boutiques. I chatted to them about everything from styling tips to celeb fashion. Check out pages 89-93 before you go. I hope you all enjoy the season, and I look forward to seeing you again in December. Happy planning one and all!
