Your Surrey Wedding - Feb/Mar 2020 (Issue 81)

6 W elcome to our first issue of 2020. It’s that time of year again, Christmas has come and gone, and we say hello to a new year. I hope you had a wonderful festive season and if you received a ring – congratulations! Whether you’re at the beginning or end of your planning journey, we understand how stressful it can be. To avoid getting overwhelmed by the to-do list, take some time out and declare it a wedding-free zone. Share the load and don’t be afraid to ask loved ones for help. If you’re looking for inspiration, then you’ve come to the right place! We have three real weddings starting on page 41 that are full of gorgeous dresses, flowers, cakes and wow-factor styling. We’re also looking at historic venues on page 29 and what Waverley & Mole Valley has to offer on page 21. Once you’ve found the perfect place to say “I do”, head over to page 61 for cake ideas and the latest fashion trends on page 85.
