Your Sussex Wedding - Page number 6 - August/September 2021 (Issue 92)

6 WIN! A HONEYMOON IN CORFU WORTH £1,000. TURN TO PAGE 97. In our photography feature from page 55, we delve into wedding- day emotions. Captured beautifully by Matthew Scott Photography this one really tugs at the heart strings. cwe COUNTY WEDDING EVENTS Real bride Charlotte told us: “In the end, we wouldn’t have changed our day. It was intimate and special. I’m now a huge advocate of small weddings, ours helped us to see what’s most important.” Read all about her big day from page 28. Turn to page 90 for the latest in our very own bride’s journey. Melissa and Dave love the idea of mini succulents as wedding favours for their guests. As their bridesmaid I know I’d love to receive one of these! @CountyWeddingMagazines @CountyWeddings @cwm_wedding Visit us online at county.wedding and countyweddingevents.com W elcome one and all to another issue of Your Sussex Wedding . Here we are, gradually approaching my favourite part of the year where it feels like there’s so much to look forward to (will you be cross if I say I’m excited about Christmas already?). I adore the autumn as colours change and the air starts to cool. Mind you, based on the weather as I write this, the temperatures won’t have far to fall this year! What a great time to get married though. September tends to be far more predictable climate-wise than August and there’s a wonderfully romantic feel of promise just as the seasons begin to change. I love to see what couples and their suppliers come up with in terms of wedding colour palettes at this time of year. Dusky pink paired with rich burgundy is a real treat when embellished with a metallic touch of gold as per our gorgeous styled shoot from page 45. I’m loving being involved with wedding plans myself as Melissa, my dear friend and editor here at CWM, makes plans to tie the knot next July, with yours truly as bridesmaid – as I may have mentioned once or twice... She’s already chosen her gown, in which she looks stunning. But what we learned from this experience is not to panic if you don’t instantly burst in to tears at the knowledge that it’s the one . If that’s just not you, you’re unlikely to change your entire personally the moment you try on a wedding dress. Sometimes, the knowledge that you’ve chosen your dream attire comes from careful deliberation and a process of trying on all silhouettes to know what suits and what doesn’t. Melissa actually chose a dress that’s the complete opposite to what she thought she’d go for and this is something we as editors hear all the time. Remember: you do you and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. I hope you enjoy this splendid issue and keeep planning!
