Although this is our lovely December/ January issue, and I should be talking about all things cold and frosty, it’s 20 degrees outside and we have the office windows open! An Indian Summer it certainly is. There are talks (although do the weather experts ever get it right?) that snow is on the way. Yipee! I for one, love winter. Not the rainy winter we tend to get here in good ol’blighty, but the oh-so dreamy bright skies and frosty footpaths, orange-coloured leaves and log fires, Christmas carols and mulled wine, layers of cosy knitwear and wellies by the front door – honestly, what is there not to love? Not only is the festive period the most popular time of year to propose – 75% of engagements happen over the season – but it’s also a great time of year to tie the knot too. There is inspiration aplenty for theme ideas and colour schemes, what’s more is that venues are also decked to the halls in Christmas paraphernalia so that’s one job off your to-do list and a little saving for the wedding budget to boot! Over on page 19 we have a pick of top 10 venues for winter nuptials, and a lush festive-themed styled shoot over on page 49. For fashion, the gents are sorted for seasonal attire over on page 90, and there’s a delicious catering feature talking about festive menus on 57. For the ultimate style inspiration, we showcase how to create your very own winter wonderland on 62 – you’re welcome! Psst! Head over to www.youreastanglian.wedding/ get-involved-real-wedding to submit your wedding for consideration for one of our Real Wedding features – we’d love to feature you! Sit back, relax and enjoy this issue Danielle x Danielle Harvey, Managing Editor Baby it ’s cold outside – sort of!
