Hello, and Happy New Year to you all! Hope you had a smashing Christmas. As the calendar marks another new year, perhaps you’re now crossing off the days until your 2025 wedding. How is the planning going? Are you pretty much there?
If you’ve still got some ‘to-dos’ on your list, fear not as this issue is packed with ideas as always. If, on the other hand, you had the opportunity to say ‘yes’ to a very important question over the festive season a huge congratulations to you! Let me tell you, you’ve come to the right place. When the time comes to shop for your dream dress, take a look at our bridal boutiques feature, introducing you to some of the region’s favourites. They’ve got plenty of tips for you and gave us a peek into the hottest styles for 2025.
Speaking of the new year’s trends, we asked our Hot Topic experts for the inside track so turn to page 46 for some inspiration. We’ve also got a fab local shoot captured at the recently refurbished Queen Hotel in Chester for you to feast your eyes on for even more wedspiration.
