November/December 2024

 
Well, didn’t 2024 go by in a flash? I can hardly believe we’re here at the end of the year talking about Christmas and New Year! Huge congrats to all of you tying the knot this season. I can’t wait to see the photos of your cosy, romantic big days. And for those of you currently considering a winter wedding date, don’t miss our winter wonderland venues feature from page 19, rounding up the cosiest local hotspots, a dream for the season.

I paid a visit to Thorpe Park Hotel & Spa recently and with the roaring log fire that welcomed me as soon as I stepped foot inside, this is definitely a candidate for a wonderful winter warmer. Turn to page 16 where I share more of my experiences from my stay in Leeds.

This issue, our thoughts have turned to dressing your bridal parties. Once you’ve sorted your big-day look, it’s time to think about how to style your besties to complement you and your palette. Ensuring treasured loved ones are comfortable and confident throughout day is becoming increasingly important to couples, and rightly so. So, don’t miss our guide to what’s hot and who you can turn to for some all-important local expertise.

Finally, with more and more couples looking to personalise their weddings to the max, we talked to the county’s experts to get their suggestions for making your big day uniquely you. Check out Hot Topic from page 44.

As well as wishing you all a very merry Christmas and a happy New Year, I’ll sign off 2024 by saying: Enjoy, and keeeep planning! See you in 2025!

The business has been creating handmade engagement and wedding rings since 2014 and was born out of Mark's passion for gold panning.
