First things first: Happy New Year! I love our first issue of the year as it’s the time we welcome most new readers, with the festive season being the most popular for romantic proposals, and celebrate with existing readers as they flip over the calendar to realise - “We’re getting married THIS YEAR!!” Welcome one and all; we’re delighted to be sharing this exciting chapter with you. Whichever camp you fall into, we hope you’ll find this issue useful and inspiring. With attire and entertainment being two of the earliest aspects to consider, we’ve taken a deep dive into both topics. What’s more, whether you’re seeking guidance from those wise couples who’ve been there, done that, or simply like being nosey (we don’t blame you), there’s plenty to love in our local real weddings this issue. We also have a jaw-dropping shoot featuring locally grown blooms that’s not to be missed. We can’t wait to discover what 2026 has in store for the wonderful world of weddings. So, as ever, enjoy and keeeep planning! Kelly Andrews, editor The time for beginnings Kelly x Your Cheshire & Merseyside Wedding is solely owned, published and designed by Ellis Media and Events Ltd.
